Our Services

Our Roofing Services

Full-service roofing contractor in Carter Lake โ€” from asphalt shingle roof replacement and emergency hail damage repair to metal roofing, flat roof systems, and gutter installation. Every project is installed by manufacturer-certified crews with workmanship warranties.

roof replacement
FREE ESTIMATE

Roof Replacement

We handle the whole replacement from permits to final inspection. Our Carter Lake office pulls the permit, coordinates the dumpster, runs the crew, and schedules the building inspector. You sign the contract and we handle the rest.

roof repair
SAME-DAY

Roof Repair

Not every problem needs a full replacement. Sometimes it's a blown-off shingle, a cracked pipe boot, or deteriorated valley flashing. We diagnose the actual issue and fix that. We don't upsell you into a new roof you don't need.

storm damage repair
LICENSED

Storm Damage Repair

Wind speeds over 60 mph cause shingle tab lift and seal failure. Hail over 1" diameter causes fractures through the shingle mat to the fiberglass reinforcement. Our HAAG-trained inspectors know the difference between cosmetic damage and functional damage. That distinction determines your insurance payout.

new roof installation
TOP RATED

New Roof Installation

Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles with Scotchgard algae protection. Ideal for Iowa humidity. We also install Tamko Heritage laminated shingles for budget-conscious builds and Malarkey Vista AR with Flexor SBS polymer-modified asphalt for high-wind zones. Your installer should match your material choice to your climate, not just your budget.

metal roofing
GUARANTEED

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 Carter Lake metal crews do residential and commercial.

shingle roofing
INSURED

Shingle Roofing

Designer shingles like GAF Camelot and Owens Corning Berkshire mimic slate and cedar shake. Higher cost than standard architectural, but the look is incredible. We install all designer profiles in Carter Lake.

flat roofing
FREE ESTIMATE

Flat Roofing

A flat roof that's ponding water is a flat roof with a problem. We install tapered insulation systems to create positive drainage to your scuppers or interior drains. No more standing water after rain.

commercial roofing
SAME-DAY

Commercial Roofing

Flat roofs on commercial buildings are a different animal. We install and repair TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up systems. Our Carter Lake commercial crew handles retail, warehouse, office, and multi-family buildings.

gutter installation
LICENSED

Gutter Installation

Gutters aren't glamorous, but they're protecting your foundation, your fascia, and your landscaping. We install seamless aluminum gutters custom-formed on-site from a roll of coil stock. No seams means no leaks.

roof inspection
TOP RATED

Roof Inspection

Annual roof inspections catch small problems before they become expensive ones. A cracked pipe boot is a $150 fix. Ignoring it means $3,000 in ceiling and wall water damage. We recommend an inspection every 2-3 years for roofs under 10 years old, and annually after that.

emergency roof repair
GUARANTEED

Emergency Roof Repair

We keep tarps, plywood, and common repair materials on every truck. When you call (877) 586-1316 for an emergency, our crew shows up ready to work. Not ready to give you a sales pitch.

skylight installation
INSURED

Skylight Installation

Skylight installation costs $1,200-$3,500 in Carter Lake depending on size, type, and roof pitch. That includes the unit, flashing kit, interior trim, and roof patch-in. We handle everything from the outside in.

Simple Process

How It Works

1

Free Roof Inspection

Our inspector walks the roof looking at shingle condition, flashing integrity, vent function, and signs of moisture underneath. 30-45 minutes for most Carter Lake homes.

2

No-Surprise Quote

We email or text the proposal so you can review it at home. Questions? Call us. No pressure, no expiration date tricks, no "today-only" pricing.

3

Professional Crew

Crew shows up on time with all materials pre-staged. Tarps go down, old roof comes off, new roof goes on. Most Carter Lake homes are done in a single day.

4

Your Approval

You see the finished roof, approve the work, and we register your manufacturer warranty on the spot. Written workmanship warranty handed to you at the walkthrough.

"Went with the Owens Corning Duration shingles in Estate Gray. The SureNail strip is legit. You can see each shingle is locked down tight. Happy with the choice."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Here's the process: we inspect your roof for free, document any storm damage with photos, and help you file the claim. Your insurance company sends an adjuster. We meet them on-site and walk the roof together. If approved, we do the work at the agreed price. If the estimate seems low, we supplement it with additional documentation.

First: put a bucket or container under the drip. If there's a visible bulge in the ceiling, carefully poke a small hole to let water drain into a bucket. This prevents the ceiling from collapsing. Then call (877) 586-1316. We do emergency tarping and temporary leak stops within 24 hours. The permanent repair follows once conditions allow.

Depends on size, pitch, and materials. Average in Carter Lake is $12,000-$16,000 for a standard residential replacement with architectural shingles. We price by the square and itemize everything so you can compare to other quotes. Free estimates. Call (877) 586-1316.

The shingles carry the manufacturer's warranty. Typically 30-50 years for architectural shingles. Our installation warranty covers any defects in our workmanship. If something goes wrong because of how we installed it, we fix it at no cost. Both warranties are in writing and we provide them at the final walkthrough.

There's no single "best" shingle. It depends on what you need. For warranty coverage, GAF Timberline HDZ with Golden Pledge is the best in the industry. For wind resistance, Owens Corning Duration with SureNail locks down tight. For value, CertainTeed Landmark or IKO Cambridge give you solid performance at a lower price point. We carry all of them.
