Fort Wayne's Certified Shingle Roofing Contractor — Done Right the First Time
When your roof is failing, you don't have time to gamble on the wrong contractor. At AJ Roofing & Siding, we've been installing shingle roofs across Fort Wayne and Allen County for over 18 years — and we've earned the credentials to prove it.
We're one of the less than 5% of roofing contractors in the country to achieve CertainTeed Certified ShingleMaster™ status. We're also a GAF Certified Shingle Installer. That's not marketing language — those certifications mean your new roof comes backed by manufacturer warranties that most roofers in Fort Wayne simply cannot offer.

Shingle Roofing Options
Materials & Styles We Install
Every home in Allen County is different — whether you're in a subdivision, a rural property, or an established Fort Wayne neighborhood. Here's what we install most often and where each shingle style fits best.
3-Tab Shingles
The classic, budget-friendly option for homeowners who need a clean, functional roof without the premium price tag. Lightweight and straightforward to install, 3-tab shingles are a solid choice for standard-pitched roofs across Fort Wayne neighborhoods.
Architectural Shingles
Our most popular installation. Architectural shingles are thicker, heavier, and more durable than 3-tab — built to handle Northeast Indiana's hail seasons, high winds, and freeze-thaw cycles. They also carry longer manufacturer warranties and add genuine curb appeal to your home.
Impact-Resistant Shingles
Engineered specifically for severe weather markets like ours. Impact-resistant shingles are rated to withstand Class 4 hail — the highest rating available — and can qualify you for a homeowner's insurance discount. If your Allen County neighborhood has taken repeated hail hits, this is worth the conversation.
Designer & Luxury Shingles
For homeowners who want the look of slate or wood shake without the maintenance or cost. Designer shingles deliver high-end curb appeal with the durability and warranty backing of a modern asphalt product — a strong choice for higher-value Fort Wayne and Southwest Allen County homes.
CertainTeed Shingles
As a CertainTeed Certified ShingleMaster™ — a status earned by fewer than 5% of roofing contractors nationwide — we install the full CertainTeed shingle line and unlock SureStart™ PLUS extended warranty coverage that most Fort Wayne contractors simply cannot offer their customers.
GAF Shingles
As a GAF Certified Shingle Installer, we install premium GAF roofing systems with access to the full tier of GAF warranty protection. Factory-trained installation means your GAF roof is installed exactly to manufacturer spec — protecting your investment for decades.
Who We Roof For
Shingle Roofing for Every Fort Wayne Homeowner
Our residential clients fall into a few clear groups. Whichever one fits you, we've replaced roofs for your neighbor.
Growing Families
Whole-Home Protection & Peace of Mind
A failing roof isn't just a repair bill — it's a threat to everything underneath it. Growing families in Fort Wayne need a roof that's installed right the first time, backed by a manufacturer warranty, and built to handle whatever Northeast Indiana weather throws at it for the next 30 years.
Storm-Damaged Homeowners
Insurance Claim Support & Fast Response
When a hail event or high-wind storm hits Allen County, you need a certified contractor on your roof fast — not an out-of-state storm chaser who disappears after the check clears. We inspect, document, and walk you through the entire insurance claim process from first call to final installation.
Homeowners Selling Their Home
Pre-Sale Roof Replacement & Transferable Warranty
A flagged roof can kill a home sale or cost you thousands in negotiated price reductions. We work with Fort Wayne homeowners and their realtors to get a certified, warranted roof installed on a timeline that keeps your listing on track — with a transferable CertainTeed warranty that becomes a documented selling asset.
Long-Term Homeowners
Aging Roof Replacement Before It Becomes an Emergency
If your Fort Wayne home was built between 1975 and 2000, your roof is likely at or past its service life. Don't wait for an active leak to force the decision. We help established homeowners replace aging shingle roofs on their terms — with the certifications, warranties, and local accountability to back it up for decades to come.

Shingle Roofing FAQs
Quick answers to what Fort Wayne homeowners ask most often. Don't see your question? Call us at 260-529-6060.
How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced or just repaired?
It depends on the age of your roof, the extent of the damage, and how widespread the wear is. If your shingles are 20+ years old, curling, cracking, or showing granule loss, a full replacement is almost always the smarter long-term investment. If the damage is isolated to a small area on a relatively young roof, a repair may be all you need. The best way to know for sure is a free inspection — we'll give you an honest answer either way.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover a new shingle roof?
It depends on the cause of the damage. Storm damage from hail, wind, or falling debris is typically covered under most standard homeowner's policies in Indiana. Normal wear and aging generally is not. We've worked with adjusters across Allen County hundreds of times and know exactly what gets documented and what gets missed. We'll meet your adjuster on-site to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
How long does a shingle roof replacement take?
Most residential shingle roof replacements in Fort Wayne are completed in one day. Larger or more complex roofs may take two. We show up on time, work efficiently, and use an Equipter during tear-off to keep your property clean and protected throughout the entire process.
What is CertainTeed ShingleMaster certification and why does it matter?
CertainTeed ShingleMaster™ is one of the highest certifications a roofing contractor can earn — and fewer than 5% of contractors in the country qualify. It requires credentialed installers, verified insurance, and proven installation quality. For you, it means your roof qualifies for SureStart™ PLUS extended warranty coverage that most Fort Wayne roofers simply cannot offer. It's manufacturer-backed protection, not just our word.
How much does a shingle roof replacement cost in Fort Wayne?
Most residential shingle roof replacements in Allen County range from $10,000 to $16,000+ depending on the size of your roof, the shingle product selected, and the complexity of the installation. We provide detailed, transparent estimates so you know exactly what you're paying for before anything is signed. No surprise charges. No pressure. Just straight answers.
