Roof Replacement in Woodward, IA

A full roof replacement is a once-in-20-to-30-years decision. We treat it like one.

The short version

Full tear-off, new underlayment, and new shingles rated for Iowa hail and wind.

A full roof replacement is a once-in-20-to-30-years decision. We treat it like one. We do this work across Dallas, Polk, Boone, and Story counties on homes that range from 100-year historics to last-year new construction. Every job starts with the same walkthrough, estimate, and written scope.

The roof replacement work we do is not a sub-contractor arrangement. Christian runs it, his crew installs it, and the invoice has one name on it. That matters for warranty claims, for callback response, and for accountability when something needs attention after the job closes.

Iowa weather puts roofs through serious punishment. Hailstorms roll through central Iowa every spring and summer, high winds tear at shingles during severe thunderstorms, and heavy snow loads in winter test the structural limits of aging roof systems. A roof that was installed 20 or 25 years ago was not built to handle today’s storm severity. When your existing roof reaches the end of its useful life, patching and repairs become a losing investment. The right move is a full replacement with modern materials rated for the conditions Iowa actually delivers.

Patriot Gutters and Insulation provides roof replacement services across Dallas County, Polk County, Boone County, and Story County. We serve homeowners in Woodward, Granger, Clive, Waukee, Urbandale, Grimes, West Des Moines, Ankeny, Ames, and surrounding communities. Our estimates include a detailed written scope of work, material specifications, timeline, and warranty terms so you know exactly what you are getting before any work begins. We also work directly with insurance adjusters on storm damage claims, handling documentation and supplements so you do not have to navigate that process alone.

What’s included

Every roof replacement job covers this.

01

Full tear-off

We strip the old roof down to the deck. No shortcut layovers that hide rot or nail problems underneath.

02

Deck inspection

Every sheet of decking gets walked. Soft spots, water damage, or improper spacing are flagged and fixed before new material goes down.

03

Synthetic underlayment

We run synthetic over tar paper every time. Better tear resistance, better water performance, longer field life.

04

Ice and water shield

Eaves, valleys, and around penetrations get a self-adhering ice-and-water barrier. Iowa winters demand it.

05

Architectural shingles

GAF Timberline HDZ or equivalent. 130 mph wind rating, 25-30 year expected life, full manufacturer warranty available.

06

Proper ventilation

Ridge vent, soffit intake, and bath/kitchen exhaust routing checked and corrected. A roof without ventilation cooks itself from underneath.

Roof Replacement · FAQ

Questions we hear about roof replacement.

How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential replacements run 1 to 3 days depending on roof size and weather. Our typical Iowa home (25-35 squares) is a 2-day job with a 4-person crew.
Do you tear off the old roof or go over it?
Always tear off. Layovers hide problems in the deck below, add weight, void most manufacturer warranties, and fail faster than a proper replacement.
Will insurance cover my replacement?
If your roof has storm damage (hail, wind), yes, often. We document the damage, meet your adjuster on-site, and handle the supplement process. No signed contract required to get an inspection.
What shingles do you install?
GAF Timberline HDZ as our standard architectural shingle. Other lines available on request. We do not install budget 3-tab shingles on residential work.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes. 10-year workmanship warranty on every install, plus whatever manufacturer warranty the shingle line carries (25-year to lifetime depending on product).
