Hail Damage Roof Inspection in Country Squire Lakes, North Vernon

Country Squire Lakes is a rural residential community in the northwest quarter of Jennings County, and National Weather Service records confirm that thunderstorm wind damage was reported 3 miles west southwest of the community during the same September 2011 severe weather outbreak that produced an EF1 tornado west of North Vernon. The mix of site built homes and manufactured homes here, with much of the stock built between 1970 and 1999, means many roofs are at or past the typical 20-to-25 year asphalt shingle lifespan. Lakefront lots and open terrain give wind driven hail a clear path, and low slope or shed style roof sections common on older manufactured homes are particularly vulnerable to impact and membrane fatigue.

Designer profiles appear in Country Squire Lakes where an owner wants slate or shake without the weight or the upkeep. Modern asphalt does that convincingly now, at $14,000 to $28,000+, and without the framing a real slate roof would ask for.
