About Cedar Rapids Roof Pros: Licensed Roofing Pros in IA
Cedar Rapids Roof Pros works Cedar Rapids, Marion, Hiawatha, Robins, Fairfax, Ely and the surrounding Linn, Benton, Jones, Cedar, Johnson, Delaware, Buchanan and Iowa county towns. The building side of this job is the same as anywhere: strip to the deck, flash it with metal rather than sealant, fasten it to the rating, and vent it so the mat is not being baked from underneath.
What is not the same as anywhere is the age profile of the housing stock. On one afternoon in August 2020 this city took estimated winds of 110 to 140 miles an hour, with damaging gusts holding for 30 to 45 minutes. The rebuild that followed put a very large share of these roofs on inside about two years. Cedar Rapids now has unusually uniform roofs and unusually variable installations underneath them.
Do not hire us if you want a replacement quote on a rebuild-era roof without letting us inspect it first, because the honest job is usually three details rather than a covering, and we would rather lose the sale than write the bigger number. Do not hire us if you want an overlay, a rejuvenation spray, or somebody to telephone your insurer for you, which Iowa law forbids anyway.
If you have a roofing project in Cedar Rapids, the fastest way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate. See every Cedar Rapids service we handle, check whether we cover Marion, IA and the rest of the Cedar Rapids metro, or go back to the Cedar Rapids Roof Pros homepage to start. You can also reach us directly on (844) 511-2320.
Credentials
- License: Iowa issues no roofing license. It issues a registration: under Iowa Code chapter 91C anyone who makes at least $2,000 a year from construction here has to be registered with the state, and a business based outside Iowa has to file a $25,000 bond as well. We hold a current registration and hand out the number without being asked.
- Insurance: General liability plus Iowa workers compensation coverage, and we have the carrier issue its certificate straight to you rather than passing along a copy of ours.
- Association: Every assembly follows the shingle manufacturer's own published application instructions and the fastening and ice-barrier provisions Cedar Rapids enforces, and the wrapper end-labels stay on site so you can read what actually went on your house.
- Warranty: a written workmanship warranty, plus the manufacturer's product warranty registered in your name rather than ours
How Cedar Rapids Roof Pros works
How a job with Cedar Rapids Roof Pros runs, start to finish
Site visit first, always. We measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and ask what you are actually trying to solve — then you get an itemized free estimate in writing with materials, scope and a realistic date on it.
Once the work starts, the same crew stays on the job until it is done. We protect the surrounding area, clean up daily, and tell you the moment something under the surface changes the plan, because the alternative is a surprise invoice and nobody wants that conversation. a written workmanship warranty, plus the manufacturer's product warranty registered in your name rather than ours backs the finished work.
What we will not do
We do not quote a roofing job over the phone, take deposits before a written scope exists, or bid work we are not set up to do properly. If your project needs a different trade, we say so and point you at someone who does it well. Losing a job is cheaper than doing one badly in Cedar Rapids.
Where Cedar Rapids Roof Pros works and who we work with
Cedar Rapids, IA first, then the surrounding communities of the Cedar Rapids metro: Marion, Hiawatha, Robins, Fairfax, Ely, Center Point, Walford, Palo and more. Each of those has its own page with local detail rather than a copy of this one.
Work splits roughly between homeowners and commercial property — offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA boards across the Cedar Rapids metro. Start with the Cedar Rapids services, the Cedar Rapids Roof Pros homepage, or just call (844) 511-2320.
Why Cedar Rapids Chooses Cedar Rapids Roof Pros
- ✓We do not have to guess the age of your roof, because this city already knows it. What an inspection here establishes is who laid the covering and how fast, and that is a different set of findings
- ✓The nail line, the starter course, the cap product and the ridge slot are checked and photographed on every visit, because those four are where a rushed catastrophe install shows itself first
- ✓Reused flashing is called out by name in the proposal. Old metal with old holes in it, put back under new shingles, is the defect we find most and the one nobody else writes down
- ✓We ask whether your manufacturer warranty was registered in your name before we quote you a repair, even though the answer sometimes means we do not get paid for the work
- ✓No shingle coatings, no rejuvenation sprays, no overlays and no third layer, at any price, and we turn that work away in this market several times a year
- ✓We will not represent you to your insurance company and we take no assignment of your benefits, because Iowa Code 103A.71 voids a contract that does either
What Cedar Rapids Customers Say
Two other companies quoted us a full replacement on a roof that went on in 2021. These people went in the attic, showed me the ridge had never been cut open, fixed that and three boots, and charged a fraction of it. I did not expect the honest version.
Water was coming in over the dining room. They found the chimney flashing had been straightened out and put back with the old nail holes still in it. They cut a proper reglet, set new counter-flashing and it has been dry through two winters.
They lifted tabs by hand along the whole west rake and showed me which ones had lost their seal. I would never have known from the ground. They reset what could be reset and replaced the creased ones instead of selling me the whole slope.
Our house is from the 1890s with steep pitches and awkward valleys. They scoped the valley metal and the headwall separately, explained why, and did not once try to talk us into the fast laminate job everybody else quoted.
