Residential & Commercial Roofing in Columbus City
Whether it's a leaky pipe boot or a 50-square replacement, our Columbus City crews have the training and equipment to handle it. Residential and commercial.
Roof Replacement
Full roof replacement starts with a complete tear-off down to the deck. We inspect every board for rot or soft spots. In Columbus City, we find decking damage on about 30% of tear-offs. Damaged sections get replaced with CDX plywood before anything else goes on. Then we build up: ice and water shield in valleys and at eaves, synthetic underlayment across the full deck, new drip edge on every edge, starter strip, field shingles, hip and ridge caps, and ridge vent. Dumpster, permits, and cleanup included.

Roof Repair
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 Columbus City 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.

Storm Damage Repair
After a major storm in Columbus City, we mobilize quickly. Emergency tarping within 24 hours to prevent secondary water damage. Then a full damage inspection once conditions allow. We use drone photography on larger commercial roofs to document everything the adjuster needs.

New Roof Installation
Proper ventilation is the most overlooked element in new roof installation. We calculate intake and exhaust per IRC R806 based on attic square footage. Balanced ventilation. Soffit intake matched to ridge exhaust. Keeps your attic cooler in summer and drier in winter. That extends roof life and cuts your energy bill.

Metal Roofing
We install 24-gauge and 26-gauge steel standing seam panels in Galvalume and pre-painted finishes. Concealed fastener clips allow the panels to expand and contract with temperature changes without stress on the fasteners. That's why standing seam doesn't leak. The clips float.

Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles cover more homes in America than every other roofing material combined. There's a reason. They're affordable, they look good, they last 25-50 years depending on the grade, and they come in dozens of colors and profiles. Our Columbus City crews have installed thousands of shingle roofs and we know the product better than most roofers in the state.

Flat Roofing
The number one cause of flat roof failure is ponding water. Standing water that doesn't drain within 48 hours after rain. We solve ponding by installing tapered insulation systems that create positive slope to drains, scuppers, or roof edges. Minimum 1/4" per foot of slope eliminates standing water.

Gutter Installation
Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts are the premium install for historic and high-end homes in Columbus City. We solder every joint on-site with 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper weathers to a green patina in Iowa's climate over 5-7 years. For modern aluminum installs, we use Spectra Metals .027 gauge seamless stock in 25+ color options with Raytec hidden hangers rated to 25 lbs per linear foot of combined debris and ice load.

Emergency Roof Repair
Emergency tarping is step one. Stop the water. We secure heavy-duty poly tarps over the damaged area using 2x4 nailer boards attached to the deck. Once the immediate threat is contained, we schedule the permanent repair within 48-72 hours.

Skylight Installation
Tubular skylights work where standard skylights can't. Interior bathrooms, hallways, closets. A reflective tube runs through the attic from a small rooftop dome to a ceiling diffuser. Brings in surprisingly good natural light. We install them in 2-3 hours.
