We’ve been working roofs in Sellersburg since 1984, long before the US-31 corridor filled in with the subdivisions that now define the town’s housing stock. Pete Navarro started this company on the principle that a roof is only as good as the crew that installs it, and that means showing up, doing the work, and standing behind it without paperwork runarounds. Sellersburg sits in a tough spot, meteorologically speaking: elevated ground above the Ohio River bottoms catches more wind than Jeffersonville below, and spring storm systems tracking northeast from Kentucky frequently unload hail before they’ve even crossed the state line. That combination - older housing, wind exposure, and hail - is exactly why specialty roofing systems matter here. They’re not upgrades for their own sake. They’re the difference between a roof that holds and one that doesn’t when the next storm rolls through Clark County.
Why Ridgeline Roofing Co. Is Sellersburg’s Preferred Specialty Roofing Company
Forty-two years in business means we’ve seen Sellersburg grow from a quiet town center into a suburban corridor where the 1990s build-out along US-31 created entire neighborhoods of identical builder-grade shingles. We know which plats went up in which years, which contractors cut corners on decking, and where the original board sheathing still sits under three layers of asphalt. That local knowledge isn’t something a storm-chasing crew from Louisville picks up in a weekend.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to document every inspection with photos from your actual roof - not a sales pitch in your driveway. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job: if it’s not right, we come back and make it right, no forms to file, no arguments. We’ve earned a strong local reputation across Clark County, and Sellersburg homeowners specifically mention our live phone answering and our willingness to explain what they’re actually paying for. Phones are staffed 24/7, including the middle of a storm, because roof problems don’t wait for business hours.
We’re authorized installers for GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. No substitutions, no “equivalent” products you didn’t approve. The number on your estimate is the number on your invoice.
Our Specialty Roofing Services in Sellersburg
TPO Roofing for Sellersburg Commercial and Residential Flat Roofs
TPO - thermoplastic polyolefin - is the white membrane you’ll see on most flat or low-slope roofs installed in Sellersburg after 2010. It reflects heat, which matters in July when the Ohio Valley humidity turns attics into ovens, and it welds at the seams for a monolithic surface that holds against wind uplift. We install TPO from GAF and CertainTeed with proper fastening patterns for Clark County’s wind exposure. In the subdivisions near the I-65 interchange, we’ve found TPO particularly effective on garage-top additions and patio covers where the original builder never planned for living space below a flat deck.
A typical TPO installation in Sellersburg runs $8,500-$14,000 for residential applications, $12,000-$22,000 for light commercial. Call (844) 563-1816 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
EPDM Roofing - Rubber Membrane Systems Built to Last
EPDM is the black rubber membrane that’s been protecting flat roofs since the 1960s. In Sellersburg, we specify it for structures where thermal cycling is the bigger threat than UV exposure - north-facing slopes, heavily shaded lots, or buildings where the owner wants a 30-year system without the premium of TPO. EPDM repairs are straightforward when caught early, which is why we recommend post-storm inspections even when no damage is visible from the ground. Wind-driven debris and hail bruising don’t always puncture immediately; they create stress points that fail two seasons later.
Full EPDM replacement in Sellersburg typically ranges $10,000-$18,000. Repairs start around $450 for localized membrane patches with proper seam welding.
Modified Bitumen - Layered Protection for Demanding Applications
Modified bitumen is the workhorse system for low-slope roofs that take abuse: multi-family units, commercial buildings with HVAC traffic, and any structure where foot traffic or equipment loads are part of the job. It’s built in layers - base sheet, modified membrane, surfacing - which means redundancy if one layer is compromised. For Sellersburg properties near the Ohio River, we pay particular attention to vapor barrier placement. The river valley humidity, combined with Sellersburg’s slightly elevated and wind-exposed position, creates moisture drive conditions that can trap condensation in improperly detailed assemblies. We use Owens Corning and CertainTeed modified systems with code-compliant vapor management.
Modified bitumen installations in Sellersburg generally fall between $11,000-$20,000 depending on layers, surfacing type, and deck condition.
Solar Ready Roofing - Preparing Sellersburg Roofs for What’s Next
Solar ready roofing isn’t installing panels. It’s building the roof deck, flashing, and membrane so that panel mounting doesn’t compromise the waterproofing layer you’ve already paid for. In Sellersburg’s 1990s subdivisions, we frequently encounter original roofs where well-meaning solar contractors have pierced membranes with lag bolts and no proper sealing. Our solar ready prep includes reinforced penetration zones, compatible flashing assemblies, and documentation of load paths so your future panel installer isn’t guessing. We work with TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems for this application.
Solar ready preparation adds $1,200-$3,500 to a standard specialty roofing installation in Sellersburg, depending on planned array size and roof complexity.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sellersburg
We stock GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning specialty roofing materials at our regional warehouse, which means most Sellersburg customers aren’t waiting two weeks for membrane rolls or custom flashing. Same-day or next-day material availability matters when you’ve got an active leak or a Clark County inspection deadline. We’re also authorized for IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral - seven manufacturer lines total, so we match the material to the job instead of forcing the job to fit whatever we happen to carry. Every product carries full manufacturer warranty when installed to spec, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the workmanship on top of that.
Common Specialty Roofing Problems We See in Sellersburg Homes
- Ice dam intrusion into plywood decking joints. Sellersburg’s winter ice storms force water under aging shingle edges and into the seams of plywood decking. Once that plywood swells and delaminates, it loses its ability to hold fasteners for any specialty roofing system. We see this most in the 1990s subdivisions where original builder-grade shingles were never designed for 25+ years of freeze-thaw cycling.
- Original board sheathing shifting under thermal cycles. Older homes near the original Sellersburg town center still carry board sheathing, not plywood. Those boards expand and contract across the grain, working fasteners loose and creating tear points in membrane roofing. We replace board sheathing with proper decking before installing any specialty system - it’s non-negotiable for warranty coverage.
- Wind uplift on low-slope transitions. Sellersburg’s elevated terrain catches more wind than the Ohio River bottoms below. The transition from pitched roof to flat roof - common on garage additions and rear bump-outs in the US-31 corridor - is where wind gets purchase. Without proper edge metal and membrane termination, the flat roof peels back from the corner. We reinforce these transitions per Clark County wind-load requirements.
- Hail bruising on TPO and EPDM that doesn’t show immediately. Spring hail in the Ohio Valley frequently dents or fractures membrane roofing without puncturing it. The damage manifests months later as cracks propagate from the impact point. Post-storm inspection with photo documentation catches this before it becomes a leak.

FAQs - Specialty Roofing in Sellersburg
Yes. Clark County, Indiana enforces the Indiana Residential Code, which includes wind-load requirements for roofing materials based on the local design wind speed. For Sellersburg’s slightly elevated terrain, we specify materials rated for the appropriate uplift pressure and install with fastening patterns that meet or exceed code. Louisville-area roofers working across the state line sometimes miss this, assuming Kentucky standards apply. They don’t. Call (844) 563-1816 and we’ll confirm the exact rating your property needs - estimates are free.
Hail and wind-driven debris bruise TPO membranes without immediately puncturing them. The impact creates a stress point in the material that cracks under thermal cycling weeks or months later. In the Lake Forest subdivision off US-31, we replaced original 1998 builder-grade 3-tab shingles with Owens Corning Duration Storm shingles after a spring hailstorm. The previous asphalt had granule loss and exposed felt, and we reinforced the deck against wind uplift per Clark County code before installing the new system. That same hail event damaged TPO patio covers that looked fine from the ground until we inspected them. Photo-documented inspection catches what eyes can’t. Call (844) 563-1816 to schedule - estimates are free.
Improper seam detailing at penetrations and edges. The Indiana Residential Code requires EPDM seams to be fully cured and tested, not just taped, at all termination points. We frequently find DIY or cut-rate repairs where tape alone was used at pipe boots or edge metal, which fails within two seasons in Sellersburg’s freeze-thaw cycle. Our EPDM repairs use factory-cured seam tape with primer, roller-pressed and inspected, backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. Call (844) 563-1816 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
The river valley humidity creates higher vapor drive than inland Indiana locations, which means moisture wants to move from warm, humid exterior air into cooler building interiors. Sellersburg’s slightly elevated position doesn’t eliminate this - it just adds wind exposure on top of it. For modified bitumen systems, we specify proper vapor barrier placement and ventilation detailing to prevent condensation buildup within the roof assembly. Owens Corning and CertainTeed modified systems we install include these layers as standard, not optional. Call (844) 563-1816 to discuss your specific building - estimates are free.
Yes. In the subdivisions platted along US-31 between downtown Sellersburg and the I-65 interchange - particularly those built in the mid-to-late 1990s - we recommend TPO for any flat or low-slope roof that receives direct afternoon sun. The white reflective surface reduces cooling loads significantly in July and August. EPDM’s black surface absorbs heat, which can be advantageous in shaded or north-facing applications but works against you on exposed garage-top additions or south-facing patio covers. We assess each property individually. Call (844) 563-1816 for a recommendation specific to your home - estimates are free.
