Expert Roofing Services in Putnamville, Indiana
Putnamville is one of Putnam County’s oldest communities. It was laid out in 1830, took its name from the county itself, and has had a post office since 1832. Its early history is tied to James Townsend and the people he freed, whose families became the first Black settlers in Putnam County — a story kept alive today by the Townsend/Layman Museum.
Putnamville sits along US 40, the old National Road, where State Road 243 heads south toward Cloverdale. The landscape here is rolling farm country in Warren Township, and storms moving east along the US 40 corridor can bring hail, heavy rain, and powerful straight-line winds. Winters add snow, ice, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles that are hard on older roofs.
Red Beard Roofing is a locally owned Putnam County contractor based about 14 miles northeast of Putnamville, near Bainbridge. Owner Alex Buker leads the business personally, so you deal with a local team that answers for its work — not a national franchise.

Comprehensive and Reliable Roofing Services for Putnamville Homes and Businesses
Country properties often have more than one roof to care for. Red Beard Roofing handles roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and insulation for Putnamville homes, farms, and businesses along US 40 and SR 243.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles are the go-to choice for most Putnamville homes. We install architectural shingles with better wind ratings and a richer look than traditional three-tab shingles, and we finish each roof with proper underlayment, ice and water shield, and ventilation.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is right at home in Warren Township’s farm country. It sheds snow, resists wind, and can last 50 years or more, whether it’s on your house, barn, or machine shed. Learn more about our metal roofing options.
Residential Roofing
We provide complete roof replacements, new installations, and repairs throughout the Putnamville area. With drone inspections, we can check every slope, valley, and chimney and show you exactly what we found.
Siding
We install vinyl, metal, fiber cement, Hardie Board, LP SmartSide, and board and batten siding. Board and batten and metal siding are popular for farmhouses and outbuildings looking for a classic rural style.
Commercial Roofing
Businesses along the US 40 corridor, churches, and agricultural operations can count on our commercial roofing services, including EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, flat roofs, roof coatings, and commercial metal and shingle systems.
Storm Damage Repair
When storms hit southern Putnam County, we offer emergency roof repair, roof tarping, hail and wind damage assessment, roof leak repair, insurance claim assistance, and ice and snow damage recovery.
Gutter Installation
We install seamless K-style and box-style gutters, plus gutter guards that keep leaves and debris out. We also offer gutter cleaning to protect your foundation and landscaping.

Common Roofing Challenges Putnamville Homeowners Face
These are the problems we see most often on Putnamville-area roofs.
Storm Winds Along US 40. Storms tracking along the National Road corridor can bring strong gusts. Lifted and missing shingles along ridges and edges are common after severe weather.
Hail Damage. Hail can bruise shingles and dent metal, sometimes without obvious signs from the ground. A drone inspection is the quickest way to find out if your roof was hit.
Older Farmhouse Roofs. Older homes may have multiple layers, worn flashing, or decking that needs repair. We assess the whole system before recommending repair or replacement.
Ice Dams. Older homes often have limited attic insulation, which leads to ice dams in winter. We improve insulation and ventilation to help prevent them.
Barns and Outbuildings. Outbuildings are easy to overlook until a leak damages equipment or stored feed. We inspect and repair metal and shingle roofs on all your structures.
