What Cochran Exteriors does

Cochran Exteriors is a private, family-owned home exterior remodeling company founded in 2010 by John Cochran and Ross Cochran and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The company delivers roofing (asphalt, metal, and flat/TPO/EPDM/PVC systems), siding (vinyl across four tiers, James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide, and insulated siding), windows (vinyl, composite, and fiberglass from Polaris and Marvin), doors, and gutter installation for Indiana homeowners and a growing commercial book. Operations are supported by field sales representatives conducting in-home consultations, an inside sales phone team, and two physical offices in Fishers and Greenwood, with service-area coverage spanning 80+ Indiana cities. Certifications include Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, GAF Certified Contractor, James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor, Marvin Contractor, BBB A+ accreditation, GuildQuality membership, and UASRC affiliation, and the company advertises a 50-year workmanship warranty alongside a Top 100 Roofing Contractor in the Nation designation.

Revenue is generated through one-time project fees quoted per job, with prices varying by home size, material selection, and project complexity (residential asphalt roof replacements typically $7k-$22k; metal $32k-$76k; vinyl siding $7k-$19k; James Hardie fiber cement $18k-$35k; full-window replacements $15k-$48k). Customer financing is offered across three standardized tiers (6 months 0% APR, 60 months 7.99% APR, 120 months 9.99% APR) and applied uniformly to roofing, siding, and window projects. The go-to-market is sales-led with a focus on non-insurance retail exterior remodeling, augmented by online cost calculators, localized SEO service-area pages, and customer review accumulation. Customer mix centers on residential single-family homeowners, with select commercial accounts such as the VITA Apartment Complex renovation in Greenfield, IN, and revenue is concentrated entirely in Indiana with no out-of-state presence disclosed.

There is no proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI/ML capability associated with the business. Differentiators are operational: top-tier manufacturer certifications that gate warranty-backed installations, a long-tenured licensed installation workforce, broad product breadth across all major exterior categories, and integrated insurance-claims and permitting support.

Direct peers

• Bone Dry Roofing: Indianapolis-based residential and commercial roofing contractor with a similar multi-service exterior offering and Indiana/Midwest footprint. Direct competitor for roofing, siding, gutters, and insulation work in the same core geography as Cochran.
• Mr. Roof: Regional exterior remodeling company offering roofing, siding, and windows with a sales-led, in-home consultation model that closely mirrors Cochran's GTM. Comparable in product mix, customer segment, and project-based revenue model.
• Erie Home: National home exterior remodeler (basement waterproofing, roofing, siding, windows) with a direct-sales, in-home model and multi-state footprint. Comparable as a multi-trade exterior platform with overlapping customer demographic to Cochran.
• Power Home Remodeling: Large national exterior remodeler (roofing, siding, windows, doors, insulation) running a sales-led, in-home consultation model at significantly greater scale. Closest comparable in business model and product breadth.
• Champion Window: National manufacturer-direct exterior remodeling company focused on windows, siding, roofing, and sunrooms with a similar in-home sales model. Comparable on product mix, financing approach, and customer type.
• Window Nation: National window and exterior door replacement company with a regional Midwest presence. Overlaps with Cochran on window/door installation and a sales-led, one-day-install GTM.
• LeafGuard: National seamless gutter and gutter-protection brand with a direct-sales, in-home model. Comparable on GTM motion, gutter installation focus, and bundled exterior offering, though narrower than Cochran's full suite.

Broad incumbents

• Roofing Corp of America: PE-backed consolidator of residential roofing businesses across the U.S. Comparable as a roofing services platform, though operating at significantly greater scale and with institutional capital that Cochran lacks.
• The Home Depot (Installed Services): Largest U.S. home improvement retailer with an installed-services program that connects homeowners to roofing, siding, window, and door installers. Acts as both a customer acquisition channel and an indirect competitor for retail exterior jobs.

Others

• ABC Supply Co. Largest U.S. distributor of roofing, siding, and exterior building products and a key supplier to exterior remodelers. Relevant ecosystem participant because Cochran's material sourcing and pricing leverage depend on relationships with distributors like ABC.
