Eads Roofing is a family owned business that specializes in roofing, siding, and gutters. We are a proud recipient of the 2017 and 2018 Super Service Angie’s List Award, and 2018 Best in Class award with F.C Tucker for the roofing & siding categories. We bring extensive experience and professionalism to every job site and customize our support to your individual needs and concerns. We will not only protect your greatest asset; we’ll make it better than it was before. Eads Roofing offers complimentary inspections and free estimates.

"On March 18, 2021, a hailstorm hit my roof. I was not aware of this damage until someone suggested that I have it inspected. I contacted my insurance company who sent out an adjuster who contracts with them. This adjuster works in the state of Indiana and was familiar with the regulations in the area. The adjuster inspected the roof and determined that replacement was required. He put together an estimate based on normally used pricing guidelines for roof replacement in the area. After obtaining several contractor quotes, I selected EADS Roofing to do the roof replacement. EADS accepted the estimate from the adjuster, and I signed a contract for that amount plus some skylight repairs and an upgrade to the shingle quality. I was told that EADS would not change the price without issuing a Change Order. In their contract was a clause which did allow them to adjust the price to conform to local regulations. Since the adjuster was familiar with Indiana regulations, I did not see this as an issue. The contract stated that the gutter screens on my buildings would be removed and reinstalled. Funding was included in the contract for this. EADS also told me that they would repair any damage caused by their roofers, though some damage to landscaping was to be expected. I signed the contract with EADS on August 17, 2021. EADS also asked me to sign a release for them to represent me to my insurance company. I declined to sign this release as the insurance company was paying me directly for the claim. Only one Change Order was ever written. This order reduced the contract cost because I had a separate contractor remove and reinstall the lightning protection system on my house. Work began on the roof on September 9, 2021, and was completed September 10, 2021. While the work was going on, I observed the roofers bending the gutter screens out of the way instead of removing them as was in the contract. Upon completion of the work, I noticed that the gutter screens were bent out of place and the bottom edge of the shingles were wavy as a result. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the screens were so mangled that they would not function properly. I contacted EADS and they agreed that the screens would have to be replaced. They told me they would have to check on material and labor availability and get back to me when repairs could be made. I called EADS almost weekly after that. First, I was told labor was not available, then materials were not available, then no response or “I’ll check and get back to you”. In early March 2022, I finally got the EADS Production Manager to come to look at the house. His solution was to go back to the insurance company to see if they would fund the repairs. After some delay, EADS sent a revised estimate to my insurance company on April 5, 2022 (but not to me). When I got the revision from my insurer, I found that EADS had not requested a supplement for the gutter screens, but had rewritten the entire contract, raising the total cost by 69%. I did not see that they sent any written explanation for the increase. By now, the spring tree blossoms were starting to fall. Since I have a lot of trees around my house, gutter screens are essential to keep the gutters working. On May 5, 2022, I told EADS they would not have to repair the gutter screens and to send me a final invoice for the work that was done. I promptly contacted another contractor who replaced my gutter screens within a week at a cost that was 23% of what was in the EADS revised cost. I continued to call EADS weekly to ask them to send a final invoice. After I told my insurer that I was not letting EADS repair the gutter screens, the insurer refused the revised estimate from EADS. EADS then sent another revised cost claiming math errors on the first revision. This second cost showed a 38% increase over the original contract. My insurer negotiated with EADS and got them to agree to remove the costs for the gutter screen work that was not performed. The insurer then approved the cost revision and reimbursed me for the difference. On June 24, 2022, I received a final invoice and work completion notice from EADS. This amounted to a 16% increase over the original contract (which had included the work not performed and the shingle upgrade). EADS has sent me a receipt of my payment."

"The roofers were working at a property 1/2 mile away and repeatedly trespassed on my property and took photos of my home, vehicles and property. My children were terrified in the house. I asked them to leave multiple times and they still returned. I went as far as to let the company know and the only response I received was a thumbs up. This company had quoted work at my home but after the experience and lack of respect for a private home owner and a family, I will not do business with them and would NOT recommend. They do not even have the decency to respond to a concerned potential customer."

FAQs for home energy audit projects in Indianapolis, IN

To prepare for a home energy audit, begin by preparing your space. Clear any obstructions around the attic, basement, ducts, crawl space, appliances, windows, and doors. Gather all your energy bills from the last year and information on home upgrades if you’ve made any changes. If you’ve previously had an audit done, include that information as well.

Finally, be prepared to discuss any questions or concerns you have. If you’ve noticed a rise in your energy bills, hot or cold areas in your home, or unusual sounds from ducts or appliances, make a list to discuss with your auditor.

How often you should get an energy audit depends on the age and condition of your home. New homes with no issues are recommended to get an audit every five years, while older homes should audit every two to three years. If you’ve noticed any changes to your energy bills or other areas of concern, you should get an audit as soon as possible. It’s also a good idea to conduct an audit if you’ve made changes or upgrades to your home, such as installing a new furnace, windows, or doors.

An energy audit takes three to four hours to complete. Your auditor sets up testing equipment, conducts an exhaustive walk‑through inspection, and performs all required evaluations to identify energy loss points. The audit follows a systematic review that includes visual assessments, mechanical tests, and detailed documentation, resulting in a precise report of improvement recommendations.

You can schedule a home energy audit any time of the year—it all depends on what's convenient for you. That said, timing it right can help you tackle issues before they impact your comfort and bills. If you live in a colder climate and want to avoid high heating costs in the winter, getting an audit in the summer allows you to make improvements before the temperature drops. On the contrary, if hot summers are your concern, a spring audit can help you stay cool and save on air conditioning.

To find a qualified home energy auditor, start by searching for local energy auditors with great reviews and recognized certifications like those from the Building Performance Institute (BPI). These credentials ensure they're qualified and can help you qualify for rebates. Don't hesitate to ask about their audit methods and schedule a consultation to see if they're a good fit for your needs. Doing some research upfront helps you get top-notch service and maximize your energy efficiency.

Once you have your energy audit report, it's time to take action. Review the recommendations and prioritize the upgrades that make the most sense for your home and budget. Reach out to experienced pros to get quotes and discuss how they can help. By making these improvements, you'll boost your home's energy efficiency, lower your utility bills, and enjoy a more comfortable living space.
