1. Document first
Note the symptom's location, timing, and severity, protect the area if it's safe to, and gather whatever history the home has.
2. Evaluate before you pick a shingle
Because most Fishers roofs are still inside their first thirty years, what matters most is installation quality, ventilation balance, valley and penetration flashing, and whether spring hail already left a mark -- not age alone.
3. Get it in writing
Confirm prep, access, materials, permits, testing, disposal, cleanup, and exclusions before anyone starts.
4. Line up the bids
Compare licensing, insurance, and the logic behind each number -- not just which one is lowest.
5. Check the closeout
Make sure testing, cleanup, documentation, and warranty paperwork are actually handed over.
