Roof Repair
Missing shingles from wind damage expose the underlayment to UV degradation. If the underlayment is compromised, water intrusion follows the next rain. We don't just replace the missing shingle. We pull back surrounding courses, inspect the underlayment for UV damage and nail holes, replace compromised sections, and weave new CertainTeed Landmark or IKO Cambridge shingles into the existing field. Proper repair, not a patch.

Shingle Roofing
Designer shingles like GAF Camelot II, Owens Corning Berkshire, and CertainTeed Grand Manor mimic premium materials. Slate, cedar shake, heavy wood. They cost 30-50% more than standard architectural shingles but the curb appeal is worth it for higher-end Cedar Rapids homes. Full manufacturer warranties included.

Flat Roofing
The number one cause of flat roof failure is ponding water. Standing water that doesn't drain within 48 hours after rain. We solve ponding by installing tapered insulation systems that create positive slope to drains, scuppers, or roof edges. Minimum 1/4" per foot of slope eliminates standing water.

Commercial Roofing
Your commercial roof has HVAC units, exhaust fans, plumbing vents, and satellite dishes punching through it. Every penetration is a potential leak point. We install prefabricated curbs, custom-welded flashings, and pitch pans that handle foot traffic and thermal cycling without failing.

Gutter Installation
Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts are the premium install for historic and high-end homes in Cedar Rapids. We solder every joint on-site with 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper weathers to a green patina in Iowa's climate over 5-7 years. For modern aluminum installs, we use Spectra Metals .027 gauge seamless stock in 25+ color options with Raytec hidden hangers rated to 25 lbs per linear foot of combined debris and ice load.

Roof Inspection
Our inspection covers the roof and the attic. From the attic, we check for daylight through the roof deck, moisture stains on rafters, mold on sheathing, and ventilation function. Problems in the attic often indicate roof issues that aren't visible from the surface.
