Malarkey® Emerald Premium · Pella® Certified · Greater Indianapolis
A lifetime solution for your most valuable asset.
Roofing / Siding / Windows
Most roofing companies in central Indiana are built around insurance claims. They chase hail, write for adjusters, and move on to the next storm. Red Bird was built differently. Homeowners choose us on the strength of our products, our craftsmanship, and our reputation, and that changes everything about how we work.
We install Malarkey® polymer-modified shingles, engineered to outlast every other roof on the street, not just to pass an adjuster's inspection.
A dedicated project manager on every job, photo documentation from tear-off to final sweep, and a property left cleaner than we found it.
Founded by Chad Peterman, Billy Elliott, and Chris Yano to bring the trust, integrity, and service Hoosiers know from Peterman Brothers, 500+ team members strong, into an industry known for taking advantage of homeowners.
Most shingles are commodity oil products: hard, brittle asphalt that cracks in Indiana's freeze-thaw cycles. Malarkey engineers shingles like a performance product, with rubberized polymer-modified asphalt borrowed from commercial roofing.
Rubberized asphalt stays flexible through freeze-thaw, resisting the cracking and granule loss that kill ordinary shingles.
The highest impact rating a shingle can earn, and it may qualify you for a discount on your homeowner's insurance.
3M™ granules actively clean the air. An average Malarkey roof offsets emissions like planting trees in your yard.
Industry-leading algae resistance keeps your roof free of the black streaks that stain ordinary shingles.
Red Bird is a Malarkey Emerald Premium Contractor, Malarkey's highest certification level. Factory-trained crews, manufacturer-audited quality, and eligibility for Malarkey's strongest Certified Premium warranty coverage.
Every tier is a Malarkey polymer-modified shingle installed by the same certified Red Bird crews to the same standard. The difference is how far you want to take performance.

A lifetime roof deserves walls and windows that match it, coordinated by a single Red Bird project manager, not three different contractors.
As a Pella Certified Contractor, Red Bird installs Pella windows measured, ordered, and fitted to your home, like this whole-home glass package in Columbus. Pick the line that fits your project:
A Red Bird advisor inspects your roof and exterior and tells you the truth, including when the honest answer is "you don't need us yet."
Shingle lines, colors, and options at your kitchen table with real samples, and a clear, itemized proposal with no pressure attached.
A firm installation date, material delivery coordinated around your driveway, and landscaping and A/C units protected before the first shingle moves.
Your dedicated project manager runs the site, sends photo updates through the day, and most roofs are torn off and finished before dinner.
Magnetic nail sweep of the entire property, a final walkthrough together, and your warranty registered and delivered in writing.
Most leaks come from installer error, not material failure, so we standardized the install. The same proven system goes on every Red Bird roof, no guessing games.
Self-sealing waterproof membrane in every valley, along eaves, at roof-to-wall transitions, and around every penetration: the places Indiana roofs actually fail.
A breathable, high-tech water-resistant layer across the entire deck, not the old felt paper that wrinkles and tears.
Drip edge installed all the way around the roof to keep water out of the fascia and decking edges.
A precision 6-nail pattern per shingle (beyond the standard 4) placed in Malarkey's oversized Zone® nailing area for maximum wind hold.
The standard rubber pipe boot cracks in 7 to 10 years and quietly leaks. We install lifetime-rated boots so the smallest part on your roof isn't the first to fail.
Balanced intake and ridge exhaust to extend shingle life, plus high-profile hip & ridge caps that protect the seams and finish the look.
As a Malarkey Emerald Premium Contractor, Malarkey's highest rating, Red Bird offers Malarkey's strongest Certified Premium warranty coverage. Wind, algae, and materials protection, registered in your name.
If our installation ever fails, we fix it. Period. Our workmanship warranty is delivered in writing with every completed project, backed by a company built to be here for the life of your roof.
Your warranty coverage transfers with the home. A documented, premium roof becomes a selling point when you list, not a question mark during inspection.
Most roofers glance at your shingles. Because Red Bird handles the complete exterior, your free consultation covers all of it: roof, water management, siding, and windows, documented in photos and delivered as a written report, whether you hire us or not.
"Showed up when they said they would, kept the yard clean and gave a fair price. Couldn't ask for more."
"The crew worked hard, did a thorough clean-up, and completed the entire project, from tear off to finished roof, in one day."
"He was straightforward and honest about the condition of my roof. He could have easily tried to sell me something unnecessary."
"Excellent communication, impressive technical expertise. It is hard to imagine a better experience with a roofing company."
"First class. Easy to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of."
Pick a time that works and a Red Bird advisor will handle the rest. If your roof has years left, we'll tell you. When it's time, you'll already know exactly who to call.
