Greenwood Premium Roofing provides professional tile roofing in Greenwood, IN for residential and commercial properties across the Johnson County side of the Indianapolis metro. Tile is uncommon in Johnson County and this page exists mostly to give an honest answer to the people who call us about putting it on. For most Greenwood houses the answer is no, and the reason is structural rather than aesthetic.
A laminate asphalt roof loads the framing at roughly three pounds a square foot. Concrete tile runs around nine to eleven, and clay can go higher. The engineered trusses in a subdivision house built through the last thirty years were designed for the first number, spaced at twenty-four inches, with web members sized accordingly. Tile is not a covering decision on that frame, it is a structural alteration.
Doing it properly means a structural engineer's evaluation, very possibly sistering or reinforcement, and a permit that reflects the change. Anyone quoting you concrete tile on a standard truss roof without that step is either not thinking about it or hoping you are not. We will walk you through what the evaluation would cost before you spend anything. That is a cost worth knowing before you fall in love with a sample board.
Where tile already exists here, it is on a small number of custom and Mediterranean-revival houses, and the work is nearly always repair rather than replacement. Tile itself lasts far longer than what sits beneath it, so the real job is lifting and stacking the field, replacing the failed underlayment and the battens, and setting the tile back with the flashing renewed. We photograph the deck while it is open, since nobody sees it again.
Individual broken tiles are their own trade. They break because somebody walked the roof without knowing where the load points are, so we set walk boards and step at the head lap over a batten. Matching a discontinued profile means salvage, and we would rather pull tiles from an inconspicuous plane and put new ones there than mismatch a street elevation. Broken tile in a valley is urgent, and a broken field tile usually is not.
If what you want is the look without the load, say so and we will show you the honest alternatives: a heavy laminate with a shadow profile, or stone-coated steel, which reads as tile from the curb at a fraction of the weight. Neither is the same thing, and we will not pretend otherwise. Both weigh close enough to asphalt that your framing stays out of the conversation.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated laminate shingles, six-nail fastening set on the common bond line, full starter strip run up both rakes, not only the eaves, hemmed aluminum rake metal and eave drip edge, self-adhered ice barrier at the eave line, synthetic underlayment fixed with capped fasteners — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Greenwood and nearby communities including Franklin, Bargersville, New Whiteland, Whiteland.

Materials, equipment and how we do tile roofing
The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with ASTM D7158 Class H wind-rated laminate shingles, six-nail fastening set on the common bond line, full starter strip run up both rakes, not only the eaves, hemmed aluminum rake metal and eave drip edge, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Greenwood job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Johnson County side of the Indianapolis metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Greenwood Chooses Greenwood Premium Roofing
- ✓We scope the windward plane and the sheltered plane as two separate questions, and price them that way, because on an exposed Greenwood lot they are not in the same condition.
- ✓We establish whether your address is inside the Greenwood city limits or in unincorporated White River or Pleasant Township before quoting, because it decides which building authority signs the work off.
- ✓We photograph creased tabs individually. A folded shingle that dropped back into place has already failed, and it is the finding most often walked past on a Johnson County roof.
- ✓We will not coat, seal or rejuvenate a steep-slope asphalt roof, and we turn that work away several times a season rather than sell something that cannot reach the failed bond line.
The standards behind tile roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The tile roofing work we do in Greenwood follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every tile roofing project in Greenwood gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
