Our Services
Our Roofing Services
Professional Roofing solutions for residential and commercial properties in Carpenter.
Roof 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.
Roof Repair
Missing shingles, cracked flashing, a leak over the kitchen. Whatever it is, we fix it. Our Carpenter repair crew runs 6 days a week. Most repairs take half a day.
Storm Damage Repair
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.
New Roof Installation
We price new installs by the roofing square (100 sq ft). Architectural shingles in Carpenter typically run $350-$550 per square installed, depending on the pitch and access. That includes materials, labor, cleanup, and warranty registration.
Metal Roofing
We do metal roof repairs too. Loose panels, failed sealant at transitions, rust spots on older galvanized. Not every metal issue needs a full replacement. Our Carpenter crew can usually fix it same-day.
Shingle Roofing
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 Roofing
TPO single-ply membrane in 60-mil or 80-mil thickness, hot-air welded seams, fully adhered or mechanically attached over polyiso insulation board. We install per NRCA and manufacturer specifications. Ponding water is the number one cause of flat roof failure. We use tapered ISO insulation to create minimum 1/4" per foot slope to drains. FM 4473 rated systems available for hail-prone Carpenter areas.
Commercial Roofing
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.
Gutter Installation
Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts. That's the premium install. We solder joints on-site using 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper develops a natural patina in Iowa's climate within 5-7 years. For aluminum, we use Spectra Metals .027 gauge seamless with Raytec hidden hangers rated to hold 25 lbs per linear foot of ice and debris load.
Roof Inspection
Infrared moisture scanning available for Carpenter commercial and flat roof inspections. Thermal imaging locates trapped moisture in the insulation layer without cutting core samples. We use Flir E8 cameras to map wet areas, then core sample only the suspect zones to confirm. Saves time, reduces disruption, and gives you a precise repair scope instead of a guess.
Emergency Roof Repair
After we tarp and secure your roof, we document everything for insurance purposes. Photos, measurements, damage descriptions. Your adjuster gets a professional report, not a handwritten note.
Skylight Installation
Skylight replacement is often better than repair on units over 15 years old. VELUX FCM curb-mount replacement skylights install on the existing curb frame. No structural modification needed. Low-E laminated glass with argon fill for energy efficiency. Solar-powered blinds available for light control. VELUX No Leak guarantee when installed with the complete flashing system. Your Carpenter home gets more light, better insulation, and a proper warranty.
