Full-Service Roofing | Cedar, IA
Whether it's a leaky pipe boot or a 50-square replacement, our Cedar crews have the training and equipment to handle it. Residential and commercial.
Roof Replacement
We replace roofs. It's what we do more than anything else. Our Cedar crews average 15-20 complete tear-off and replacements per month. That kind of volume means we've seen every situation: steep pitches, multiple layers, rotted decking, improper ventilation from the last guy. We fix all of it and install a roof system that's warranted for decades.

Improper step flashing is the leading cause of roof leaks at wall-to-roof transitions. Step flashing needs to be woven between shingle courses with each piece extending 4" above the shingle exposure. We see Cedar homes where the last roofer used continuous L-flashing or just caulked the gap. That always fails. We tear it out and install proper step flashing with a kick-out diverter at the bottom per IRC R905.2.8.3.

Wind speeds above 60 mph cause shingle tab lift and adhesive seal failure per ASTM D7158 testing protocols. Our Cedar inspectors check the entire windward exposure. Not just the obvious damage. Poor ventilation causes ice dams which cause water intrusion under the shingle field during freeze-thaw cycles. We document all contributing factors so your insurance claim covers root-cause repairs, not just surface patches.

Architectural shingles are what we install on 90% of Cedar homes. They're thicker, heavier, and more wind-resistant than the old 3-tab flat shingles. They also look dramatically better. Dimensional profiles that mimic wood shake or slate. Standard architectural shingles carry a 30-year warranty. Premium versions go to 50.

TPO single-ply membrane is our most-installed flat roof system in Cedar. White reflective surface reduces cooling costs, hot-air welded seams are watertight, and 15-20 year manufacturer warranties are standard. Available in 45-mil, 60-mil, and 80-mil thickness.

TPO is our most-installed commercial membrane in Cedar. 60-mil thickness, hot-air welded seams, mechanically attached or fully adhered over polyiso insulation. The weld is stronger than the membrane. 15-20 year manufacturer warranties depending on system build-up.

Clogged gutters cause fascia rot, soffit damage, and foundation erosion from concentrated water runoff. That's not a marketing scare tactic. We see the damage on every other gutter replacement in Cedar. Properly sized gutters with adequate downspout capacity move water away from the house. We calculate capacity using rainfall intensity data for Cedar: roof area x pitch factor x rainfall rate in inches per hour. Standard 5" K-style handles 5,520 square feet of effective roof area.

Commercial and flat roof inspections include infrared moisture scanning with Flir E8 thermal cameras. Trapped moisture in the insulation layer shows as temperature differentials on the thermal image. No need to cut core samples everywhere. We identify wet zones, then core sample the suspect areas to confirm. This approach gives you a precise repair scope at a fraction of the cost of exploratory tear-offs.

VELUX FS (fixed) and VS (vented) skylights installed with EDL flashing kits for shingle roofs. The multi-step flashing integrates with the surrounding shingle courses per IRC R903.2. We frame the curb with doubled 2x8 or 2x10 lumber (depending on rafter depth), install ice and water shield membrane around the entire curb perimeter, then set the skylight with factory sealant before weaving step flashing into the field. Top headwall flashing tucks under the upslope shingle course. Bottom sill pan diverts water onto the downslope shingles. Zero exposed sealant joints. Mechanical flashing only.
