Hail Damage Roof Inspection in Richardson and McQuiston Addition, Fairland

The Richardson and McQuiston Addition was platted in 1872, making it one of Fairland's earliest expansions after the original town core and placing its housing stock among the oldest in the community. Homes built in the 1870s through early 1900s in this part of Shelby County were typically wood framed with steep pitched roofs, and repeated shingle over installations across five or more replacement cycles can mask underlying deck deterioration that only a full tear off reveals. Fairland area tornado activity has been documented as above the Indiana state average, and the mix of mature trees that have grown up around homes of this age adds a persistent debris and limb fall risk to already aged roofing systems.

The most common Richardson and McQuiston Addition outcome is undramatic. A roof gets photographed, a few details get corrected, and the owner goes back to not thinking about it for several more years. That counts as a successful job here.
