Roofing Services in Iowa City: Storm Damage, Inspections & Maintenance

For an overview of everything we do, see roofing in Iowa City.

Storm and Hail Damage Roof Services

Hail and wind damage is not always visible from the ground. Bruised shingles, cracked seals and lifted flashing can take months to start leaking. After a storm, we inspect:

• Shingles for hail bruising, cracks, granule loss and lifted tabs
• Flashing, vents, skylights and chimneys for dents and gaps
• Gutters, downspouts and siding for dents that confirm hail size
• The attic for signs of new leaks

We photograph everything and tell you whether it needs a roof repair in Iowa City, a full roof replacement in Iowa City, or nothing at all.

24/7 Emergency Roofing and Tarping

When a tree comes down or a storm tears off shingles, water damage starts right away. Our rapid-response team provides emergency tarping and temporary repairs to stop leaks around the clock, then schedules the permanent repair.

Help With Roof Insurance Claims

Storm damage claims go faster with good documentation. We help you by:

• Photographing and documenting the damage before temporary repairs
• Writing up the scope of work your insurer needs
• Meeting your adjuster on the roof when you want us there
• Explaining what the insurer's estimate does and doesn't cover

Your insurer decides what is covered. Our job is to make sure the damage is fully and accurately documented.

Roof Inspections in Iowa City

We recommend an inspection at least once a year and after any major storm. Inspections also help when you are buying or selling a home. Each one covers the shingles, flashing, underlayment where visible, ventilation, gutters and attic. You get photos and a written summary of what needs attention now and what can wait.

Roof Maintenance Plans

Preventive care is the cheapest way to make a roof last. Our maintenance plans include scheduled inspections, minor repairs such as resealing flashing and replacing loose shingles, and gutter cleaning, so small issues never become big ones.

Energy-Efficient Roofing Upgrades

Reflective shingles and metal roofing can reduce how much heat your roof absorbs, and better attic ventilation and insulation cut heating and cooling loads. We offer products that meet ENERGY STAR® standards; compare options on our roof installation in Iowa City page.
