Choosing a Zionsville roofing contractor is not a decision most homeowners make often. A roof is one of the largest investments a home represents, and in a community where property values run high, who does the work matters as much as the work that gets done. The contractor you hire will be inside your home, both on your roof and in your attic. The estimates they provide could shape a significant financial decision. That warrants some scrutiny.
Robert Stevens Roofing has been serving Zionsville and Boone County since 1996. We’re not a franchise or a storm-chasing operation. We are a locally owned company with nearly three decades of history in Central Indiana, and are willing to be vetted to ensure our customers feel comfortable and confident with our capabilities.

How to Vet a Roofing Contractor in Zionsville
Before you invite anyone onto your roof, there are questions worth asking. These are the same questions we would tell our own neighbors to ask, including us.
How long have they been in business, and are they local?
Longevity matters in roofing. A company that has operated in the same market for decades has built its reputation on repeat customers and referrals. It cannot disappear after a storm the way out-of-town contractors sometimes do. Robert Stevens Roofing was founded in 1996 and has operated continuously in Central Indiana since then. We are based in Carmel, minutes from Zionsville, and our phone number has not changed.
Are they licensed and insured?
Indiana requires roofing contractors to carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. Ask for certificates before work begins. An uninsured contractor working on your home creates liability exposure for you as the homeowner if something goes wrong. We carry full coverage and provide documentation on request.
Can they provide local references?
A reputable contractor should be able to point you to completed projects and satisfied homeowners in your area. Our reviews from Zionsville, Boone County, and the surrounding communities speak for themselves. You can read them on Google and Angi (Angie’s List), and we are happy to connect you with past customers who are willing to share their experience.
Do they give written estimates?
A verbal estimate is not a commitment. Any contractor worth hiring will provide a detailed written estimate that specifies materials, scope of work, and cost before a single shingle is touched. We provide written estimates on every job, free of charge, with no obligation to proceed.
Are they trying to sell you something you don’t need?
This is the most important question and the hardest to answer before a roof evaluation. The best signal is what a contractor does when nothing needs to be done to your roof. We have inspected roofs and told homeowners their roofs were in good shape and did not need work. That honesty is reflected in our reviews and is central to how we operate. If a repair is what your roof needs, we will recommend a repair. If it needs replacement, we will tell you that too, and show you why.
Watch out for storm chasers.
After a significant hail or wind event in Boone County, it is common to see out-of-state roofing companies canvassing neighborhoods, offering free inspections and pushing homeowners toward insurance claims. Some of these operations do adequate work. Many do not. They have no stake in your community, no long-term accountability, and often no local presence once the job is done. A contractor who was not in Zionsville before the storm and will not be here after it is a different kind of risk than a company that has been serving your neighbors for thirty years.
Why the Right Contractor Matters More in a Market Like Zionsville
Zionsville consistently ranks among the most desirable communities in Central Indiana. Median home values in the area reflect the quality of the housing stock, the school system, and the overall character of the community. In a market like this, roof condition has a direct and measurable effect on home value and marketability.
A roof that is improperly installed or repaired with substandard materials will show up in a home inspection. It can complicate a sale, reduce an appraisal, or require costly remediation years after the original work was done. Doing it right the first time is not just about today. It is about protecting an investment asset that represents a significant portion of your net worth.
We understand that context. Zionsville homeowners are discerning, and they should be. We hold our work to a standard that reflects the quality of the homes we work on.

The Company Behind the Work
Robert Stevens Roofing was founded in 1996 by Robert D. Stevens, one of the original contractors recommended by Angi (Angi (Angie’s List)) when the platform launched in the Indianapolis market. The company was built on word-of-mouth referrals and a straightforward approach: do honest work, give straight answers, and stand behind what you do.
Rick Campbell joined the company in 2012 and became an owner in 2016. Before roofing, Rick spent years as Lead Mechanic at Andretti Autosport in the IndyCar Series, fueling at the Indianapolis 500 and working alongside drivers including Dan Wheldon, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Michael Andretti, and Danica Patrick. That career required a level of precision under pressure that does not leave you. It shows up in how we approach every project, from a single shingle repair to a full replacement on a complex multi-pitch roof.
