Local Hiawatha Roof Installation & Repair. Licensed & Insured

We don't do shortcuts on replacements. Tear off the old roof, check the decking for soft spots, install synthetic underlayment, drip edge, starter strip, shingles, ridge vent. The whole system. Your roof is only as good as the layers underneath.

Roof repairs get worse when you ignore them. A $400 flashing repair turns into $4,000 of water damage inside the wall. Our Hiawatha crew can usually get there within 48 hours for non-emergency repairs.

HAAG Certified Inspector on every storm claim we handle in Hiawatha. 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.

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.

Corrugated metal and R-panel are cost-effective options for barns, detached shops, and covered patios in Hiawatha. We install 29-gauge and 26-gauge corrugated with exposed fasteners using neoprene washer screws. For homes, we recommend 24-gauge standing seam with concealed fasteners. Cleaner look, no exposed fastener maintenance. DaVinci composite shake and slate profiles give you the metal longevity with a traditional Iowa aesthetic.

Asphalt shingle roofing is the most common and cost-effective roofing system in Hiawatha. Our crews install 15-20 shingle roofs a month. We know the product inside and out. Nailing patterns, exposure measurements, hip and ridge details.

Modified bitumen is our go-to for residential flat roofs in Hiawatha. Two-ply torch-applied system with a granulated cap sheet. It handles foot traffic, thermal cycling, and Iowa UV better than single-ply at the residential scale.

Commercial roofing in Hiawatha means dealing with rooftop HVAC units, drains, parapet walls, and penetrations. We work around your equipment and schedule repairs or installs to minimize business disruption.

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.

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 tarping is the first priority. We cover the exposed area to stop water entry, then schedule the permanent repair once conditions allow. We don't charge extra for emergency tarp jobs. It's part of the repair cost.

A skylight installed wrong will leak. The flashing has to integrate with the shingle courses. Step flashing on the sides, headwall flashing on top, and a sill pan underneath. We use manufacturer flashing kits because they're engineered to work with the skylight frame.
