Roofing, siding, gutters & paint inPittsboro, Indiana
Pittsboro is a small Hendricks County town about 25 minutes south of our shop, one of the fastest-growing places we work. That means most of what we see there is new construction still inside its first decade, not a century of housing stock to sort through.
A small town growing faster than almost anywhere we work.
Pittsboro is small but growing fast. The town counted 3,682 residents in the 2020 census, up from 2,928 in 2010 and 1,588 in 2000, close to doubling every decade for twenty years running. More recent estimates put the population around 4,156, a growth rate of roughly 13% in just the last five years. The median owner-occupied home value, based on recent Census Bureau survey data, runs about $312,800, noticeably higher than Frankfort or Crawfordsville and closer to what you would find in a Boone County town.
The town was founded in 1834 and incorporated in 1906, when it got its first sidewalks, street lights and water service. US 136 runs through as the town's Main Street, southeast about 18 miles to downtown Indianapolis and northwest about 10 miles to Jamestown, and the town sits across Middle and Brown Townships in northeastern Hendricks County. North West Hendricks School Corporation covers the district, with Tri-West Hendricks High School serving as the high school for the area.
Nearly all of the growth behind those population numbers is new construction, subdivisions built out around the older town grid over the last ten to fifteen years to house people working in and around Indianapolis. That is a different profile than most of the towns we work in closer to Lebanon, where new construction is one slice of a much older housing stock. In Pittsboro it is most of the market, and that changes what actually breaks on a house here.
New construction fails differently than an old farmhouse, mostly at the details a production schedule tends to rush rather than at old materials finally giving out. That is what we look for first on a Pittsboro inspection, and it is a big part of why we bundle roofing, siding, gutters and paint under one crew: those rushed details usually show up in more than one trade at once.
What we see on Pittsboro houses.
Four things come up often enough on Pittsboro's newer housing stock that we look for them before you point them out.
Too few downspouts for the roof area on new two-story homes
A lot of the newer two-story construction here was built with the minimum downspout count the plan called for rather than what the actual roof area sheds in a hard rain. It works fine most of the year and overflows at an inside corner during the kind of downpour Hendricks County gets a few times a summer. Adding a downspout or resizing the run usually fixes it for good.
Bath fan and dryer vents terminating in the soffit instead of the roof
On homes still inside their first ten years, we regularly find a bathroom fan or dryer vent that was run into the soffit instead of out through a proper roof or wall cap. The moist air stains the soffit panel first, then starts softening it from behind, and it is an easy thing to miss until you are looking for it specifically.
Production-grade caulk standing in for real flashing at trim
Fast-built new construction sometimes uses a bead of caulk where the window and door trim meets the siding instead of proper flashing behind it. Caulk is a maintenance item, not a permanent seal, and on homes reaching eight or ten years old now, the original bead is failing faster than the siding around it.
Vinyl siding hung tight against the J-channel with no room to move
Vinyl is supposed to hang loose enough in its channel to expand and contract with the temperature, and on some of the newer Pittsboro construction it was installed snug instead, which looks fine on a cool install day. The first genuinely hot summer buckles it or pops it loose at the seams, and it's a workmanship fix, not a materials problem.
Everything on the outside, plus the inside walls.
Twenty-five minutes down, and we know the growth pattern.
Pittsboro's growth means whole streets went up within a year or two of each other, so an issue we find on one house is usually worth checking for on the houses next to it too. However you get in touch, plan on hearing back within 24 business hours.

Asked by Pittsboro homeowners.
Not at all. Pittsboro is one of the fastest-growing towns we work in, and a lot of our calls there come in clusters, one house on a street leads to a neighbor's house a few doors down. Small town, real volume.
Usually a construction shortcut rather than a material failure. Undersized downspout counts, a bath fan vented into the soffit instead of through the roof, or caulk used in place of real flashing at the trim are the three we see most in Pittsboro's newer subdivisions. All three are straightforward to correct once you know to look for them.
We can't speak to what your specific builder's warranty covers or doesn't, that's between you and them. What we can do is inspect the house, tell you plainly what we find, and fix it whether or not you end up going through the builder.
About 25 minutes south on SR 39 and local roads. It's a regular stop for us given how much new construction has gone in there over the last decade.
That is the point of the company. One crew, one schedule, one invoice, and no waiting on a second contractor to free up. Bundling also saves real money on labor, because the fascia is already exposed and the ladders and staging are already up.
Payment on a Pittsboro project works the same as everywhere else we go: 50% down to get started, the balance due once the work is finished and you have walked it with us, and financing available if a full reroof or exterior repaint is bigger than you want to pay for in one lump sum. Behind that payment structure sits a two-year workmanship warranty on paint and on gutter or gutter guard installation, five years on roofing, and Owens Corning's manufacturer warranty on the roofing materials themselves. The roofing warranty page has the full breakdown.
