Serving Huntington County
Huntington is about 25 miles southwest of our Fort Wayne headquarters, and we make the drive down US-24 regularly to serve homeowners in this historic county seat. Whether we're working on a Victorian-era home near the downtown square or a newer subdivision off Flaxmill Road, our crew knows Huntington's roofing landscape well. When storms hit Huntington County, we prioritize getting our team on-site quickly — because water damage doesn't wait for a convenient appointment.
The city of Huntington has a fascinating mix of architectural styles that present unique roofing challenges. The older homes surrounding the downtown area — many built in the late 1800s and early 1900s — feature steep roof pitches, ornamental details, and complex valleys that demand experienced craftsmanship. Near Huntington University and along the corridors leading to the Forks of the Wabash historic site, you'll find mid-century homes with simpler profiles. And the newer developments on the outskirts feature modern construction with architectural shingle roofs. Big Dog Roofing has the experience and materials to handle every one of these styles confidently.
As a veteran-owned roofing company, we bring a straightforward approach to every Huntington project. No pressure sales, no bait-and-switch pricing, no subcontractors showing up in unmarked trucks. When you hire Big Dog Roofing, you get our trained crew, our materials, and our accountability. Huntington County homeowners deserve a roofing contractor who shows up when promised, does the work right, and stands behind it — and that's exactly what we deliver.
We serve all of Huntington including the neighborhoods near Sunken Gardens, the residential streets around Hier's Park, and homes along the Wabash River corridor. Whether you're a homeowner near the Dan Quayle Center or living in one of the quieter neighborhoods south of town, Big Dog Roofing is just a phone call away. We also serve nearby communities like Ossian and Bluffton.
From century-old Victorians to modern subdivisions, Huntington homes face specific roofing challenges that require local expertise.
Downtown Huntington is home to some of the most beautiful Victorian-era architecture in northeast Indiana — and some of the most complex rooflines. Steep pitches, multiple dormers, turrets, and intricate valley systems all require a crew that understands how to properly flash, shingle, and waterproof these details. Cutting corners on a historic home leads to leaks that can damage irreplaceable interior woodwork and plaster. We approach every historic Huntington home with the care it deserves.
Huntington sits at the Forks of the Wabash, and homes along the river corridor experience higher humidity levels that accelerate moss and algae growth on shingles. This biological growth traps moisture against the roofing material and shortens its lifespan. We recommend algae-resistant shingles for Huntington homes near the river and can treat existing growth during inspections to extend the life of your current roof.
Huntington County's flat, open terrain means storms build speed and intensity before they reach town. Hail damage is a frequent concern, particularly during the spring and early summer months. We've seen entire neighborhoods need new roofs after a single severe storm. Big Dog Roofing responds quickly to storm events in Huntington and helps homeowners navigate the insurance claims process so they can get back to normal life as fast as possible.
Many Huntington homes built in the 1960s and 1970s are on their second or even third roof, and those aging shingles are well past their rated lifespan. Curling, cracking, and granule loss are common signs we see during inspections. Rather than patching an old roof that's reached end-of-life, a full replacement with modern architectural shingles provides better wind resistance, impact protection, and curb appeal — often at a lower long-term cost than repeated repairs.
We keep things simple, transparent, and professional from start to finish.
We drive out to your Huntington home, climb up on the roof, and thoroughly document its condition with photos. You'll get a straightforward assessment of what's going on — no exaggeration, no manufactured urgency.
Every quote includes a detailed breakdown of materials, labor, and any additional work like decking repair or ventilation upgrades. We walk you through your options so you can choose what fits your home and budget best.
Our own team — no subcontractors — handles your Huntington roofing project from first shingle to last. We follow manufacturer specifications precisely, protecting your warranty and ensuring your roof performs for decades to come.
After installation, we run magnetic nail sweepers across your entire property, clean every bit of debris, and do a walkthrough with you. If your project involves an insurance claim, we handle the paperwork and adjuster coordination too.
Roof replacement costs in Huntington typically range from $7,000 to $16,000 depending on your home's size, the roofing material, and the complexity of the roof. Victorian-era homes in the downtown area with steeper pitches and more complex rooflines tend toward the higher end, while newer suburban builds average $8,000–$12,000. Big Dog Roofing provides free inspections and transparent, line-item quotes so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work begins.

Most standard residential roof replacements in Huntington are completed in one day. Our crew arrives early and works efficiently to minimize disruption to your household. Larger homes or those with complex rooflines — which are common in the historic downtown district — may take two days. We always provide a clear timeline before any work begins so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, and this is one of the things we do best. We work with all major insurance providers and guide Huntington homeowners through the entire claims process. From thoroughly documenting storm damage to meeting with your insurance adjuster on-site, our team handles the details so you can focus on getting your home back to normal. Many homeowners discover that storm damage covered by insurance can result in a full roof replacement with minimal out-of-pocket cost.
For Huntington's beautiful stock of Victorian and historic homes, we often recommend architectural shingles that mimic the look of traditional slate or wood shake while providing modern weather protection. GAF Timberline HDZ and Owens Corning Duration are popular choices that blend well with historic character. For newer builds on the outskirts of town, standard architectural shingles provide excellent value, wind resistance, and 30- to 50-year protection. During your free inspection, we'll recommend the best material for your specific roof. Learn more about our full range of roofing services.
