Roof replacement permits in Indianapolis
Depends on the job
No permit is needed to replace a roof when a city-listed contractor or the owner-occupant does the work. A permit is required if the roof shape changes, a heavier covering such as tile replaces shingles, a rafter or more than 128 square feet of decking is replaced, or heat-applied roofing is used.
Roofers must register with the city. Contractors must be listed with the City of Indianapolis Department of Business and Neighborhood Services; the permit exemption applies only to listed contractors or owner-occupants.
Indianapolis-Marion County Code, Chapter 536 (Building Permits)
Verified October 2026. Rules change, so confirm with the city before work starts.

Verified October 2026
3-day right to cancel, including after an insurance decision
You can cancel a home improvement contract over $150 until midnight of the third business day after you sign it or, for an insurance job, after your insurer's final written decision on the claim, whichever is later. Payments must be returned within 10 days, minus approved emergency work.
