Hobart is two towns under one name. The blocks around Lake George and the old downtown go back a century, with steep roofs, dormers, and narrow lots. South of there, toward US 30 and Deep River, the subdivisions are barely twenty years old. Those two halves need different things from a roofer. Pursuit Exteriors is the family owned, Owens Corning Preferred Contractor that works both, for roof replacement, repair, and storm damage.

What Hobart Roofs Deal With

The median Hobart home was built in 1971, but that number hides how split this city is. Close to a quarter of Hobart's housing went up before 1950, most of it around the old downtown and Lake George. At the same time the city has grown roughly 16 percent since 2000, almost all of that on the south side toward US 30 and Deep River.

Lake George is the local wrinkle. Open water in the middle of a city gives wind a clear run, and homes facing the lake take gusts with nothing standing in front of them. Along the Deep River corridor the problem flips. Mature trees drop limbs, shade holds moisture on shingles, and leaves pack the gutters every fall.

The rest is standard Lake County. Hail crosses most summers, and the 2026 storm season has been one of the worst Northwest Indiana has seen. Freeze and thaw winters work at flashing and shingle seals season after season.

If your house sits in the old part of town, the question is how many layers are up there. If it sits in a south side subdivision from the early 2000s, the question is whether the builder-grade shingles have started to go. A free inspection answers either one.

Damaged asphalt roof shingles with cracks, lifting tabs, and patches of wear

Roof Repair or Roof Replacement? Here's How We Decide.

We do not sell roofs that do not need selling. Damage in one area is usually a repair. Damage across the roof, or a roof that has simply run out of years, is a replacement, and at that point patching only buys a season at a time.

In Hobart the answer usually depends on which part of town you are in. On a pre-1950 home near downtown or Lake George, the first thing we check is layers, because once two are up there the next roof has to be a full tear-off, and old plank decking often needs repair underneath. On a 1970s ranch, widespread wear at this age points to replacement. On a south side subdivision home from the 2000s, storm damage to one slope is normally a repair or an insurance claim, and the rest of that roof is worth protecting. We inspect first and tell you which one you actually need.

Signs Your Hobart Roof May Be Ready for Replacement

Shingles are Curling, Cracked or Missing.

Asphalt shingles are designed to protect your home, but over time they can break down from UV rays, ice dams, and high winds. If you see granule loss, curling edges, or bare spots, your roof may be at risk. Give us a call today for a free inspection!

Your Roof is Over 20 Years Old

Most roofing materials have a lifespan of 20–25 years. If your home in Hobartwas built in the early 2000s or earlier, it may be time to consider a full replacement — especially if repairs are becoming more frequent. Give us a call today for a free inspection!

Interior Leaks and Water Stains

Moisture coming through your ceiling, attic, or around roof penetrations (like chimneys or vents) is a clear sign the roof system has failed. Don’t wait until the damage spreads even small leaks can lead to mold and insulation issues.

Moss, Algae or Black Streaks

These signs of excess moisture are common in shaded areas of Hobart homes. They’re not just unsightly — they can trap water and deteriorate your shingles faster than you might expect.

How do I know if I need a new roof on my home?

Look for curling or missing shingles, granules collecting in gutters, stains on interior ceilings, or a roof past 20 years old. The only way to know for sure is an inspection, and ours are free.

How much does a new roof cost?

It depends on the size of your roof, the material you choose, and the condition of the decking underneath. That is why we give written, itemized estimates instead of ballpark numbers. The estimate is free and comes with no pressure.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof replacement?

If the damage came from a storm, wind, or hail, often yes. Our inspection documents what the adjuster needs to see, and we can meet the adjuster at your home. Age and normal wear are not covered.

How long will my new roof last?

Modern architectural shingles installed correctly are rated for 30 to 50 years depending on the product line. Ventilation and installation quality matter as much as the shingle, which is why manufacturer certification counts.

Our house is near Lake George and it has had more than one roof. Does that change the job?

It usually does. Once two layers of shingles are on a roof, the next one has to be a full tear-off, and homes that age often have plank decking that needs repair once the shingles come off. Steep pitches and dormers on those houses also take longer to work safely. We check layers, decking, and pitch during the inspection and build all of it into the estimate, so the price does not move once we start.

We bought in one of the newer subdivisions on Hobart's south side. Is the roof already a concern?

Possibly. Hobart has grown about 16 percent since 2000, and much of that construction used builder-grade shingles rated for 20 to 25 years. A roof from 2004 is well into the second half of that window, and one bad hail summer takes years off it. Get a first inspection around year ten, and get one after any big storm. Documentation matters if you ever file a claim.

More Than Roofing for Your Hobart Home

Siding Installation & Replacement

Your roof is only one part of your home's exterior. Pursuit Exteriors also provides siding installation and replacement in Hobart, helping homeowners protect their homes while improving curb appeal and energy efficiency.

We offer high quality siding materials, including LP Smart Siding and James Hardie Siding, and back our work with a strong guarantee. Our skilled team of installers is committed to providing expert advice and exceptional service.

Gutter Services

Along the Deep River corridor, Hobart gutters pack with leaves every fall, and a clogged gutter overflows right where the fascia and foundation take the most water. Gutter guards cut down on the cleaning. On the century-old homes near Lake George, the gutters have usually been replaced more than once, so we check the fascia and downspout routing before installing new seamless gutters formed on site.
