Our Services
Our Roofing Services
Professional Roofing solutions for residential and commercial properties in Charles City.
Roof Replacement
Replacing your roof isn't just about shingles. We install ice and water shield in the valleys and along eaves, synthetic underlayment across the whole deck, new drip edge on rake and eave, starter strip, and ridge vent. That's how a roof lasts 30 years in Iowa.
Roof Repair
Missing shingles, cracked flashing, a leak over the kitchen. Whatever it is, we fix it. Our Charles City repair crew runs 6 days a week. Most repairs take half a day.
Storm Damage Repair
HAAG Certified Inspector on every storm claim we handle in Charles City. HAAG certification is the insurance industry standard for forensic roof inspection. Adjusters trust our reports. We document hail hits per square, wind creasing, and granule displacement. FM 4473 hail resistance ratings determine whether your roof qualifies for full replacement or spot repair.
New Roof Installation
We price new installs by the roofing square (100 sq ft). Architectural shingles in Charles City typically run $350-$550 per square installed, depending on the pitch and access. That includes materials, labor, cleanup, and warranty registration.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal lasts 40-60 years with practically zero maintenance. Higher upfront cost than shingles, but you'll never replace it again. Our Charles City metal crews do residential and commercial.
Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingle roofing is the most common and cost-effective roofing system in Charles City. Our crews install 15-20 shingle roofs a month. We know the product inside and out. Nailing patterns, exposure measurements, hip and ridge details.
Flat Roofing
TPO single-ply membrane in 60-mil or 80-mil thickness, hot-air welded seams, fully adhered or mechanically attached over polyiso insulation board. We install per NRCA and manufacturer specifications. Ponding water is the number one cause of flat roof failure. We use tapered ISO insulation to create minimum 1/4" per foot slope to drains. FM 4473 rated systems available for hail-prone Charles City areas.
Commercial Roofing
Your commercial roof is protecting your inventory, your equipment, and your employees. We do annual inspections for Charles City business owners. Catch small problems before they become $50,000 problems.
Gutter Installation
Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts. That's the premium install. We solder joints on-site using 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper develops a natural patina in Iowa's climate within 5-7 years. For aluminum, we use Spectra Metals .027 gauge seamless with Raytec hidden hangers rated to hold 25 lbs per linear foot of ice and debris load.
Roof Inspection
Infrared moisture scanning available for Charles City commercial and flat roof inspections. Thermal imaging locates trapped moisture in the insulation layer without cutting core samples. We use Flir E8 cameras to map wet areas, then core sample only the suspect zones to confirm. Saves time, reduces disruption, and gives you a precise repair scope instead of a guess.
Emergency Roof Repair
Fallen tree limb damage requires structural assessment before repair. We check rafter integrity, decking condition, and whether the ceiling joists below were impacted. If structural members are cracked or displaced, you need a framing carpenter before we re-roof. We coordinate with trusted Charles City contractors for structural work. Insurance carriers require separate line items for structural vs. roofing repairs. We document both.
Skylight Installation
Vented skylights open to let hot air escape. Great for kitchens and bathrooms in Charles City. Fixed skylights are cheaper and simpler. Solar-powered options from VELUX qualify for the federal 30% tax credit through 2032.
