Our Roofing Services | Dickens, IA
Everything we do is roofing. That focus means our Dickens crews install more roofs per year than companies that try to do siding, windows, and remodeling on the side.
Roof Replacement
GAF Timberline HDZ with the full GAF Roof System qualifies your home for the Golden Pledge warranty. That's 25 years on workmanship and 50 years on materials, including algae protection. We install Cobra Snow Country ridge vent with external baffle, FeltBuster synthetic underlayment meeting ASTM D226 Type II equivalent, and Starter Match Pro starter strip. Every component is GAF-approved and inspection-documented.

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 Dickens 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 Dickens 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.

We handle new construction from permits through final inspection. Our Dickens office coordinates with your builder on scheduling, material delivery, and inspection timing. Typical install time is 1-3 days depending on size and complexity.

Metal roof repairs are usually sealant failures at transitions, loose panels from improper installation, or rust spots on older galvanized systems. Our Dickens crew repairs all metal types. Not every issue needs a full replacement. Sometimes a sealant touch-up or panel re-securing solves it.

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 Dickens crews have installed thousands of shingle roofs and we know the product better than most roofers in the state.

TPO single-ply membrane in 60-mil or 80-mil thickness, fully adhered or mechanically attached over minimum R-25 polyiso insulation. Hot-air welded seams tested with a probe at every joint. We install per NRCA and manufacturer specifications with tapered ISO insulation creating minimum 1/4" per foot positive drainage. Ponding water is the number one cause of flat roof failure in Dickens. Tapered insulation eliminates it. FM 4473 rated systems available for hail-prone areas. Fully warranted by Carlisle, Firestone, or GAF.

Multi-family properties in Dickens need roofing contractors who understand occupied buildings. We schedule around tenants, contain debris, and minimize noise during reasonable hours. Emergency leak repairs get priority. Water in someone's apartment is an emergency.

Seamless aluminum in 5" K-style is the standard for Dickens residential. We use 6" K-style on larger homes, steeper pitches, or roof areas with high water volume. Downspouts are 2x3" on 5" gutters and 3x4" on 6" gutters. Matched to handle the flow.

Buying or selling a home in Dickens? A roof inspection from a licensed contractor beats whatever the home inspector saw from the driveway. We check every component, give you a remaining-life estimate, and flag anything the buyer or seller should know about.

Fallen tree damage requires immediate structural assessment before tarping. If a tree has displaced rafters, cracked a ridge beam, or pushed through ceiling joists, the structure is compromised. We assess from both exterior and attic, coordinate with structural engineers or framing contractors when needed, and tarp only areas that are structurally stable enough to support the tarp hardware. Insurance claims for tree strikes require separate line items for tree removal, structural repair, and roofing repair. We document each scope independently.

Replacing an old leaking skylight is often cheaper than trying to repair it. New units from VELUX have Low-E laminated glass, argon fill, and No Leak guarantees when installed with the manufacturer's flashing system. Our Dickens crews replace skylights in a single day.
