Roof Replacement in Georgetown, Done the Small-Town Way
Georgetown is the kind of Floyd County town where a roofing company cannot hide behind a logo. If a crew cuts corners on your house, your neighbors hear about it at the ballpark, the gas station, and the school pickup line — and honestly, that suits us fine. Well Krafted Roofing is a family-owned company headquartered a short drive east in New Albany, close enough that a Georgetown inspection is an easy trip instead of a scheduling ordeal. We work both sides of this town: the older homes near the center, where a roof may be carrying decades of weather and a layer of previous shingles, and the newer subdivisions and acreage properties along the edges, where builder-grade shingles are quietly reaching the end of their run. Wherever your house falls on that spectrum, the process stays the same — a free, no-pressure inspection, a written estimate that spells out what your roof needs and what it does not, GAF materials installed correctly, and a crew that cleans up like your yard is our yard.
Two Kinds of Georgetown Roofs, One Honest Process
Drive through Georgetown and you can read its housing story from the street. Near the middle of town are the homes that have been here the longest — modest, well-kept houses where the roof may be hiding older decking boards, tired flashing, attic ventilation that was an afterthought, and sometimes a previous layer of shingles that has to come off before anything new goes on. Push out toward the edges and the picture changes: newer subdivisions, bigger lots, and acreage properties where the house went up in the last twenty or thirty years. Those roofs have their own pattern — builder-grade shingles installed street by street on the same schedule, which means whole stretches of a neighborhood tend to come due around the same time.
Our answer to both is the same: scope it honestly. On the older homes, we look at what is under the shingles before we quote, so decking replacement and flashing work land in the written estimate rather than on a mid-job change order. On the newer ones, we will tell you the truth even when it costs us a sale — a few wind-lifted tabs or a cracked pipe boot often calls for a fix, not a tear-off, and our roof repair service exists for exactly that reason. You should never be talked into a full replacement your roof does not need.
Being headquartered in New Albany matters more in a small town than in a big one. It means inspections get scheduled without a long wait, follow-up questions get answered by someone nearby, and the people who shook your hand at the estimate are the same people standing behind the workmanship guarantee years later. And when Ohio Valley hail or wind rolls across western Floyd County, we photograph every bit of damage and meet your insurance adjuster in person, so the claim reflects what your roof actually took.

Georgetown Roofing Questions, Answered Straight
What does a roof replacement cost in Georgetown, IN?
Most residential roof replacements in Georgetown range from $8,000 to $18,000, driven by roof size, pitch, and the materials you choose. Your free inspection ends with a written, line-item estimate, so the number is settled before any work begins.
How quickly can you get to Georgetown for an inspection?
Quickly — our headquarters is in New Albany, a short drive from Georgetown, so getting an inspector to your home is an easy trip rather than a scheduling ordeal, and we return calls the same day. You are not waiting on a crew dispatched from the far side of Louisville.
My subdivision roof is about 20 years old. Does it need a full replacement?
Not automatically. Builder-grade shingles on Georgetown’s newer homes often start showing their age around then, but the honest answer depends on what an inspection finds. If a repair buys you a few more good years, we will say so; if replacement is genuinely due, we will show you the evidence rather than just tell you.
What tends to come up on older homes near the center of Georgetown?
The usual suspects are decking boards with soft spots, flashing that has outlived its sealant, minimal attic ventilation, and occasionally a previous shingle layer that has to be torn off before anything new goes on. We check for all of it before quoting, so the estimate reflects the real job.
Do you help with storm damage insurance claims in Georgetown?
Yes. We photograph and document the damage, meet your insurance adjuster at your home, and stay involved until the approved scope actually matches what the hail or wind did to your roof.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Georgetown or Floyd County?
Permit requirements vary depending on your address and the scope of the project. We confirm exactly what applies to your home and handle any needed paperwork as part of the job, so it is one less thing on your list.
We live on acreage outside town — can you look at the garage or outbuilding too?
Absolutely — plenty of Georgetown properties have more than one roof that matters. Point out the garage or barn when we come for the house and it goes on the same estimate, priced as its own line item.
Can you replace gutters at the same time as the roof?
Yes — and it is often the smart time to do it, since gutters, downspouts, and drip edge all work together as one drainage system. We offer full gutter services and can fold them into the same project and estimate.
How long will my Georgetown roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes in the area are torn off and re-shingled in one to two days. Steeper, larger, or multi-building projects run longer, and we set that expectation in writing before the first shingle comes off.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Indiana?
We are fully insured and will show you proof of coverage at the estimate. Indiana does not license roofers statewide — those requirements are local, and meeting them in Georgetown and Floyd County is our job, not yours.
