Roof Replacement
After tear-off, we always check decking and replace what's needed. Soft spots mean moisture intrusion. The old roof was leaking longer than you realized. We use 7/16" or 15/32" CDX plywood depending on rafter spacing. New decking costs $75-$120 per sheet installed. We only replace what's actually damaged.

Most roof leaks in Coulter come from one of five places: pipe boots, step flashing at walls, valley flashing, damaged shingles, or failed seals around skylights. We find the actual source. Not just the drip point in your ceiling. And fix it right. Water travels along rafters and sheathing before it drips, so the leak location and the damage location are often 10 feet apart.

Not all storm damage qualifies for a full replacement. Hail might only damage one slope. Wind might only lift shingles on the windward side. We document exactly what's damaged and let the insurance company make the call. Honest documentation gets claims approved. Inflated claims get denied.

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.

Standing seam metal with Kynar 500 PVDF fluoropolymer finish. The gold standard for color retention and chalk resistance. We install Sheffield Metals and McElroy Metal panels in 24-gauge Galvalume steel. UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance (qualifies for insurance discounts in most Iowa markets). UL 790 Class A fire rating. Wind uplift rated to 140+ mph per ASTM E1592 testing. Concealed Z-clips allow thermal expansion without stress on fasteners. That's what makes standing seam leak-proof.

GAF Timberline HDZ. The best-selling shingle in North America. With StrikeZone nailing area for consistent fastener placement. Class A fire rating per UL 790, Class 4 impact resistance per UL 2218 (when installed in the GAF Roof System), and Class H wind rating per ASTM D7158 (130 mph). We install Timberline in the full GAF system to qualify for Golden Pledge warranty: 25-year non-prorated workmanship plus 50-year materials with WindProven limited wind warranty (no max speed). That warranty is why we recommend GAF for most Coulter homes.

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.

For commercial kitchens and restaurants in Coulter, PVC membrane is the only option that resists animal fat and chemical exposure from rooftop grease exhaust. We install IB Roof Systems and Duro-Last PVC with heat-welded seams and custom accessories. Modified bitumen with SBS or APP polymer-modified asphalt for high-traffic commercial roofs. Two-ply systems with 20-year NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties from Johns Manville or Firestone.

Gutter replacement in Coulter costs $8-$15 per linear foot installed. That includes hangers, end caps, outlet drops, miters, and at least two downspout runs. Copper is $25-$40 per foot. We give exact pricing in the estimate. No ranges.

Roof inspections are free for Coulter homeowners. No strings, no obligation to hire us for repairs. If your roof is fine, we say so. If it needs attention, you get an honest assessment of what's going on and what it'll cost to fix.
Get a Free Quote →Emergency Roof Repair
Emergency protocol for active water intrusion: (1) interior containment. Buckets, plastic sheeting, water extraction if accessible, (2) exterior tarping with 20x30 heavy-duty poly sheeting over damaged area extending minimum 4 feet past damage on all sides, (3) secure with 2x4 nailer boards lag-screwed to the roof deck (not through shingles), (4) secondary tarp overlap for multi-section damage, (5) document with timestamped photos for insurance. Permanent repair scheduled within 48-72 hours once materials are sourced.
Get a Free Quote →Skylight Installation
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.
