From Tear-Off to Finish: An Onyx Black Roof in Indianapolis

Here’s a look at a full roof replacement we finished in Indianapolis, Indiana. We tore off the old shingles and replaced the entire roof, including the sections over the attached garage and back porch. We installed Owens Corning Duration shingles in Onyx Black and used Owens Corning roofing accessories throughout.

What we look at after tear-off

Once the old shingles come off, we can see the wood decking underneath. That’s when we check for soft spots or damaged wood before the new roofing goes on. If any decking needs to be replaced, we explain what we found and what needs to be done.

How Onyx Black looks on the finished roof

The front and back photos show the same shingles against two different finishes: brick in the front and light siding in the back. If you’re picking a shingle color, look at a sample outside next to your own siding or brick. A photo is a good starting point, but daylight makes a difference.
