Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection
A metal roof inspection in Frankfort is a walkthrough of the whole system, not a glance from the driveway. We check panel seams for separation or oil canning, exposed fasteners for backed out screws and failed washers, ridge and eave trim, valleys, flashing at penetrations, and the coating for chalking, fading, or corrosion. We look for hail dents, wind lifted panels, and the slow damage that thermal movement causes over years of Indiana summers and winters. Every finding is documented with photos so you can see the condition of your Frankfort metal roof for yourself. That level of detail is what keeps a loose fastener or a nicked seam from turning into an expensive interior repair a year later.

Metal roofs around Frankfort mostly fail at the details, not the panels. The steel outlasts everything around it, but the sealant in a pitch pan dries out, a boot splits at the pipe, and a screw that was fine for fifteen years backs out a quarter turn. Clinton County owners rarely see it coming because the roof still looks new from the driveway long after a detail has started letting water past.
Rust gets treated at its starting lines by Frankfort Metal Roofing: cut edges sealed at install, scratches touched with the manufacturer kit instead of a rattle can, fastener lines inspected before washers give up, and streaks traced to their source rather than painted over. A Frankfort metal roof defends itself for decades if its wounds get closed early. Across Clinton County, the difference between patina and rot is maintenance timing.

Call (812) 515-1567 to start with layout, because everything after layout is just execution.

Frankfort Metal Roofing was founded in 2018 by Aaron Christy, who has been featured on FOX59, WISH TV, and RTV6 for his work in central Indiana roofing. We serve Frankfort, the rest of Clinton County, and surrounding communities including Lebanon, Kokomo, Logansport, Lafayette, Crawfordsville, and Tipton. Our crews are local, licensed and insured under Indiana license RC21100059, and metal roofing has been a core part of our work for years. From Victorian homes near the courthouse square to metal machine sheds on rural parcels at the edge of Frankfort, we handle the full range of properties in this part of central Indiana.
Every Frankfort project starts with a thorough on site inspection and a set of photos that show you what we found, not just what we say we found. From there you get an honest written estimate with a clear scope, so there is no guessing about panel counts, fastener work, flashing, or trim. On the roof itself, we keep the workmanship tight: proper seam engagement on standing seam runs, correct fastener patterns on exposed fastener systems, and clean cuts around penetrations. When the work is done, the job site is cleaned up and you get a walkthrough of what changed and why.

Second, an honest written estimate with line items you can read and question, no surprise add ons after the crew starts. Third, clean workmanship backed by a workmanship warranty on our labor, alongside the standard manufacturer coverage that applies to the panels and coatings we install.
What Frankfort Owners Get From Our Crew
Serving Frankfort and Clinton County with quality materials, thorough inspections, and transparent pricing.
Storm And Hail Response
Clinton County storms have produced golf ball size hail and 60 mph wind gusts, and the flat farmland around town offers little buffering. We prioritize storm damage calls, document dented panels and lifted seams with photos, and get you a clear scope of repair. That gets your roof back to weather tight faster.
Local Frankfort Experience
We work on Frankfort roofs regularly, from bungalows near the East Wabash corridor to standing seam and exposed fastener systems on outbuildings out toward the county line. That means we know how central Indiana wind and temperature swings show up on a metal roof and where to look first when something is wrong.
Full-Scope Metal Roofing
One crew handles the whole path: inspection, written estimate, repair or replacement, and final cleanup. Whether it is a single panel repair or a full replacement on a Frankfort commercial building, you are not juggling multiple contractors. Everything is scoped, scheduled, and completed by the same team.
Documentation Done Right
If a storm damaged your roof, the paperwork matters as much as the fix. We photograph the damage, note the failure modes on panels and fasteners, and put it into a written estimate your insurance carrier and adjuster can actually work from. That gives your claim a real foundation.

The Path From Estimate to Finished Frankfort Roof
It starts with an on site inspection of your Frankfort metal roof. We walk the roof where it is safe to do so, check panel seams and fasteners, look at flashing and penetrations, and note any storm damage, coating wear, or age related issues. Everything gets photographed, so you have a visual record of what is actually happening up there. Before any work is proposed, we sit down with you and go over the findings in plain language, then build a clear scope that matches the condition of your roof, not a generic template.
Next comes the written estimate. You get a document that lists what we are doing, what materials are involved, and what it costs, so a Frankfort property owner can compare apples to apples. If there is a storm damage claim, we hand over the photos and written documentation you need for your insurance carrier and adjuster. works with your insurance carrier and we never name drop policies we cannot see, but we make sure your damage is documented in a way the claim process can use.
When the scope is approved, we schedule the work at a time that fits your situation. On the day, the crew protects landscaping and siding, stages materials cleanly, and handles the metal roofing work with the right fastener patterns, seam engagement, and flashing detail. When the roof is done, we walk the property with you, point out what was replaced or repaired, and clean up nails, offcuts, and debris. Every Frankfort job wraps with the site left the way we would want our own left.

What we see most often on Frankfort metal roofs
Frankfort property owners typically call us about these scenarios.
Cut Edges, Filings, and Dissimilar Metals
Steel panels rarely rust out in the middle of the field. They rust where the coating stopped: a field cut edge, a drilled hole, a scratch from a dropped tool, or hot filings left on the finish after someone cut a panel with an abrasive wheel. They also rust where copper, lead, or runoff off treated lumber sits against them.
Sweating on the Underside of the Panel
Cold clear nights pull the panel underside below the dew point, and humid air that leaked up from the house condenses on bare steel. The tell is timing and spread: it drips on the first mild morning after a cold snap, with no rain for days, across a wide area instead of one spot. That is an assembly problem. Sealant does nothing for it.
Missing Closures at the Ridge and Eave
Foam and metal closure strips fill the ribbed gap under the trim at the eave and the ridge, and a rushed install skips them. What is left is an open slot the width of the roof · wind driven rain, drifting snow, and wasps and mice all use it. New closures bedded in butyl tape shut it.
Branch Rub Along a Shaded Slope
Branches touching the roof do not need a storm to do damage. Every breeze drags them across the finish and polishes the coating off in a stripe you can pick out from the yard. Shade over a Frankfort slope keeps the panel damp longer too, which gives the bare metal underneath a head start on rust.
Long Panel Runs With Nowhere to Move
Panels get longer on a July afternoon and shorter on a January night, and the run from ridge to eave has to be free to do it. Pin it at both ends, or set fixed clips where floating clips belonged, and that movement goes somewhere else · oval fastener holes, ticking at sundown, seams pulling apart at the ridge.
Trim Pulling Loose Along the Rake
Rake trim, ridge cap, and eave trim take the same thermal movement the panels do, joined by laps holding on with butyl tape and a handful of fasteners. Over the years the laps open, the butyl skins over and quits sticking, and a length of trim starts rattling in a west wind. It is not a leak the day it starts. It becomes one when that lap feeds water behind the panel end.

Your Frankfort Metal Roofing Questions, Answered
Straight answers to the questions Frankfort property owners ask most.
Indiana Weather Affects Metal Roofs Year Round
Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Frankfort property owners deal with spring hail and severe thunderstorms, summer UV exposure, fall wind storms, and winter freeze thaw cycles. Understanding these patterns is how we plan maintenance, repairs, and replacement work.
Hail Denting Metal Panels
Clinton County has a documented history of quarter to golf ball size hail, and metal panels take a beating in those storms. Dents can bruise the finish, break the coating, and start corrosion on aging roofs. When we are called out to a Frankfort property after hail, we photograph the strikes panel by panel and flag which ones need replacement versus which are cosmetic.
Wind Lifting Panels
With open farmland around Frankfort and 60 mph gusts on record, straight line wind gets under panel edges and pries at seams. That loosens fasteners and can pull sections loose in a bad cell. We check every edge, ridge, and eave detail after a wind event and re secure or replace what has been compromised.
Thermal Movement On Fasteners
Metal roofs expand and contract with every hot day and cold night in central Indiana. On exposed fastener systems, that cycle slowly backs screws out and wears the rubber washers, letting water in around the shanks. We reset or upsize fasteners, replace failed washers, and check the pattern along every panel we walk.
Coating And Finish Wear
Older metal roofs in Frankfort often show chalking, fading, and thinning paint where the coating has taken decades of sun. Once the finish breaks down, the substrate starts to corrode, especially at cut edges and around penetrations. During inspection we note coating condition and tell you honestly whether it is a repair, a recoat conversation, or a replacement discussion.
Choosing the Right Metal Roof for Frankfort
An honest breakdown of the three panel systems we install most frequently.
Exposed fastener metal panels are the most common metal roof choice around Frankfort, especially on ranches, cottages, and outbuildings. The panels screw directly through the face into the substrate, which keeps material and labor costs down and makes future repairs straightforward. Homeowners choose it because it delivers real metal roof durability and wind resistance without the price tag of a fully concealed system, and it works well on the simpler roof lines common on mid century Frankfort homes.
Heavier gauge metal panels with upgraded finishes are worth considering in Frankfort when hail exposure is a concern or the roof pitch is highly visible. A thicker gauge resists denting from the quarter to golf ball size hail Clinton County has seen, and premium coatings hold color and fight chalking longer than base finishes. It costs more up front, but on a home you plan to keep, the added durability against central Indiana storms pays off over the life of the roof.
Standing seam metal roofing is the long life option for Frankfort property owners who want the fasteners hidden and the seams locked. Panels are joined at raised seams with no exposed screws in the field of the roof, which removes the most common leak point on older metal systems. It carries a higher installed cost than exposed fastener panels, but for historic homes near the courthouse or commercial buildings where longevity and appearance both matter, it is often the right call.
