Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Gladbrook, IA homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Everything we do on a roof, done by crews who have been doing it the same careful way since 2002.
Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain is rarely under the hole. We trace the leak back to where it really starts and fix that.
Wind and debris damage is not always obvious from the ground. We check the edges, the ridge, the valleys and the fasteners before telling you anything is fine.
Guards installed as part of a roof job or on their own. Either way we check the hangers and the pitch while we are up there.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
This is the work our name is attached to. Two decades of tin roofs on houses, churches, barns and additions, installed by crews who cut the trim on site instead of forcing something that almost fits.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
A skylight has to be woven into the roof, not caulked to it. That is the difference between a fix that lasts a season and one that holds.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
Small repairs get the same crew and the same care as a full roof. Free estimate, a price in writing, and the work done before the next rain moves in.
Full tear off, decking checked board by board, then a new metal or shingle roof over proper underlayment. You get the price and the start date before anything comes off.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
Missing shingles get matched as close as weathering allows. Loose metal gets new fasteners and washers, and the eaves, rakes and ridge get sealed back up tight.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
Porch roofs, additions and low slope sections that hold water instead of shedding it. We rework the flashing, seal the seams, and get water moving again.
Rotted fascia and sagging soffit let water and animals in behind the roof edge. We cut the bad wood out and put new in.
Buying, selling, or just want to know how many years you have left? We look, we tell you, and we do not turn it into a pitch for a roof you do not need.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
Metal is what we are known for. Since 2002 the bulk of our work has been standing seam and metal panel roofs, and it is still what most Gladbrook homeowners call us about. We measure on site, help you settle on a color, and set the panels straight.
We do shingle roofs too, and plenty of them. But if you have been thinking about a tin roof on your Gladbrook home, that is the conversation we enjoy most — panel type, color, trim, and what it is really going to cost.
Why people around Gladbrook call us back and send their neighbors our way.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
A few backed out screws or a whole roof off a church — we take both. No job is too small to get the same crew and the same care.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
Straight answers to what Gladbrook homeowners ask us most often.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Gladbrook metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
That is most of what leak work is. Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain on your Gladbrook ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work back to the real entry point, fix that, and check the rest of the roof while we are up there.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Gladbrook roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
Plenty of them. Most Gladbrook customers choose from around twenty standard colors, and green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones people pick most. We bring the color chart out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding.
A typical Gladbrook shingle roof runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026 for an average single family home, and more if the deck has rot or the roof is steep and cut up with dormers. We do not price off a satellite photo — somebody comes out and measures.
Any dry stretch works. We roof in Gladbrook year round, though we schedule shingle work for when it is warm enough for the strips to seal properly, and we watch the forecast so your house is never left open overnight.
