Martelle Roof Repair & Replacement

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.

We repair every type of roofing. Asphalt shingles, metal panels, flat membranes, tile. Our guys carry the materials on the truck. Most repairs are same-day once we're on site.

Hail, wind, fallen branches. Iowa storms do real damage to roofs. We respond within 24 hours, tarp exposed areas to prevent further damage, and start your insurance claim with a detailed inspection report.

New construction or an addition? We install new roofing systems from scratch. Decking inspection, ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, ventilation calculations, and whatever material you want on top. Shingles, metal, or flat.

Metal roofing in Iowa makes sense. It reflects heat, handles high winds, and sheds hail better than shingles. We install standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle panels.

Your shingle choice determines your warranty, your curb appeal, and how your roof handles Iowa weather. We'll show you samples, explain the differences, and let you pick what fits your budget. No pressure.

Flat roof leaks usually happen at penetrations, seams, or flashing details. We locate the source, repair it properly, and coat the surrounding area. If the membrane is shot, we'll recommend replacement. Not a band-aid.

TPO is our most-requested commercial membrane in Iowa. Reflective, energy-efficient, and it welds together at the seams for a watertight bond. We install 60-mil and 80-mil systems with 15-20 year manufacturer warranties.

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 Martelle). 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 Martelle? 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.

Fallen tree limb damage requires structural assessment before repair. We check rafter integrity, decking condition, and whether the ceiling joists below were impacted. If structural members are cracked or displaced, you need a framing carpenter before we re-roof. We coordinate with trusted Martelle contractors for structural work. Insurance carriers require separate line items for structural vs. roofing repairs. We document both.

Skylights bring natural light into rooms that don't have it. Bathrooms, hallways, closets. We install VELUX and Fakro fixed and vented skylights with proper flashing kits designed for asphalt shingle roofs.
