Roofing in Michigantown, IN
At thirteen minutes past three on the afternoon of November 17, 2013, an EF-2 tornado touched down at Michigantown. It ran 25.8 miles to the northeast at up to 130 miles an hour and 150 yards wide, was at its strongest crossing the southeast side of Kokomo, and lifted two miles north of Greentown twenty-three minutes later. The weather service survey found damage to a hog farm and several properties northeast of town.
A wave of roofs went up here in the months after that, and they are now around a dozen years old, which is exactly the age at which fastening quality starts to show. Lift two or three shingles on the slope facing the prevailing wind and look at where the nails sit.
They belong in the reinforced strip the manufacturer prints across the shingle. Above it is a high nail, which holds one shingle by its top edge and leaves the course below fastened by adhesive alone. A high nail is the flaw that turns up most often in storm-wave work, and the reason is not mysterious: those roofs went on fast, in volume, by crews the storm brought in, with nobody checking then and nobody checking since.
The Area Plan Commission of Clinton County names Mulberry, Rossville, Kirklin and Colfax as the towns it serves and leaves Michigantown off, while the town itself publishes a building permits and inspections page and asks you to call the office on Main Street.
About 42 percent of Michigantown's housing predates 1940 and another 12 percent came in the 1940s, the second highest share of that decade on our list, which means plank sheathing and narrow framing under a great many of these coverings.
About 81 percent of the town heats with utility gas and 15 percent with electricity, so the flue picture is mixed rather than one-sided.
The road through town, SR 29, is the old Michigan Road, laid out in the 1830s, and Clinton Central School Corporation keeps its offices out on it. If your roof came out of that 2013 window and has never leaked, our advice may well be to wait, and we would rather give you that answer than sell an inspection.
Roofing work we do in Michigantown, IN
Kokomo Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Michigantown that we do in Kokomo — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Metal Roofing — We install metal and we talk a fair number of Kokomo homeowners out of it. That is not modesty, it is the arithmetic of a market where the median owner-occupied house is worth about a hundred and thirty-seven thousand dollars.
- Tile Roofing — Start with the truth: clay and concrete tile is close to absent from Kokomo's housing stock, and on most houses here we will recommend against it. This page exists because people ask, and because the reasons deserve explaining rather than talking around.
- Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — Low-slope roofs in Kokomo are mostly not buildings. They are the rear addition, the carport, the enclosed back porch and the breezeway that got added to a 1950s ranch between 1962 and 1985, usually by somebody who ran the house shingle straight across a pitch it was never rated for.
- Roof Coatings & Sealing — Coatings are sold hard in this market and they are right about a third of the time. The other two thirds they are a way of covering evidence, and on a stock of undocumented storm roofs that is the last thing Kokomo needs.
- Roof Ventilation — Almost every ventilation problem we open up in Kokomo is a problem of too many vent types rather than too few. The house has ridge vent, and box vents, and a powered fan, and open gable louvers, all working against each other.
- Skylights — Every skylight is a hole in the roof with a warranty attached, and on the roofs we work on in Kokomo a meaningful number of them should simply be closed. Roofers do not usually commit that to paper, so the reasoning is worth setting out.

About Michigantown, IN — and why local matters here
Michigantown sits in Clinton County with a population of roughly 435, close enough to Kokomo that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the SR 213 junction at Michigantown, the elevator on the Nickel Plate line east of town.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Michigantown properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Clinton County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
