Erie Home specializes in stone-coated steel roofing — a heavier-duty alternative to asphalt shingles with a 50-year transferable warranty — and reviews back up their one-day installation claim even on large roofs, with repeated praise for thorough cleanup. Metal roofing costs more upfront than asphalt shingles; the tradeoff is longevity and storm resistance, which matters most in hail- or wind-prone regions.

Indianapolis tracks the national average, so local and national ranges match. Based on mean hourly wages for roofers in the Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood, IN area versus the national mean (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025), applied to the labor share of the job. National ranges are market-wide averages; a written quote from a local contractor is the only figure that reflects your actual home.
