Laurens, IA Roof Installation & Repair. GAF Certified

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.

Missing shingles cause water intrusion through the exposed underlayment and decking. We don't just replace the missing shingle. We check the deck for moisture damage with a Protimeter pin meter, replace any compromised underlayment, and weave new CertainTeed Landmark shingles into the existing pattern.

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.

We install new roofs on new construction, room additions, detached garages, and covered patios. Our Laurens crews handle residential and light commercial. Standard install time is 1-3 days depending on size.

Commercial flat roof replacement in Laurens starts with a core sample to check the existing insulation. If it's waterlogged, everything comes off. If it's dry, we can sometimes overlay. Saves you $2-$4 per square foot.

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

Improperly sized gutters cause fascia board rot and foundation erosion. We calculate gutter capacity using the rainfall intensity formula: roof square footage x pitch factor x rainfall rate (inches/hr for Laurens). Standard 5" K-style handles 5,520 sq ft of effective roof area. Bigger roofs or steeper pitches need 6" gutters with 3x4" downspouts. We hang with hidden hangers screwed into rafter tails every 24".

Buying a home in Laurens? Get an independent roof inspection before you close. Home inspectors look at the roof from the ground with binoculars. We get on it. Big difference.

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.

Skylight installation costs $1,200-$3,500 in Laurens 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.
