How to check Ideal Roofing on the Indiana record
Indiana roofing-license requirements are not yet covered by our verification program — confirm licensing and insurance with your city or county building department
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.

Add up the hail reports NOAA logged for Vigo County since 2017 and you reach 18. Reports of 1 inch or larger cover 9 days. The rough part: 1 days with stones of 1.75 inches or more, capped by a 1.75-inch stone near a golf ball. The most recent golf-ball day on file is in 2023.

Thunderstorm wind peaked at 81 mph in the record.
In the last 90 days NOAA logged 1 hail report within 25 miles of Terre Haute.

Date your photos after each hail day and keep them. A written inspection from Ideal Roofing or any other roofer is worth asking for before work starts.

Who lives under these roofs
Half the homes in Terre Haute predate 1958; the typical house is about 68 years old. A mid-range asphalt replacement at $10,012 equals 9 percent of the median home value of $109,500. Before 1980, 70 percent of the housing stock went up. Asphalt roofs last roughly 25 years, so a home from 1958 is on roof number 3 or later if each was replaced on schedule.
