How to judge roofing work

A roof is the one system that protects every other part of a building, which is why the way a contractor inspects matters more than the brochure. A thorough look covers flashing, penetrations, valleys and decking — not just the field of shingles — because that is where water actually finds its way in.

Roof lifespan depends more on installation quality and attic ventilation than on the material alone. Poor ventilation cooks shingles from underneath, and incorrect nailing patterns void many manufacturer warranties. The useful questions to ask any roofer are about process and sequence, not only price.

Typical lifespan ranges by roofing material (industry averages; actual life depends on climate, ventilation and installation quality)

Material	Typical lifespan	Notes
Asphalt shingle	15–30 years	Most common; ventilation strongly affects service life
Metal	40–70 years	Standing seam generally outlasts exposed-fastener panels
Clay or concrete tile	50–100 years	Underlayment usually needs renewal sooner than the tile
Slate	75–150 years	Weight requires adequate framing capacity
Single-ply membrane (flat)	20–30 years	Seams and terminations are the usual failure points

What customers say

We had Iowa Roofing Co replace our gutters, and they did a great job. Prompt with communication and scheduling, fair on price, and did a great job on the installation. Highly recommend.

Ryan Skotzke

I did a lot of research before hiring Lance with Iowa Roofing Company, and I can say with strong conviction that if you are reading this review, you should consider working with them as well. While having a roof replaced is stressful (lot of decisions) and costly, Lance made the entire process very easy; clear, concise communication, doesn't try to upsell you on projects/repairs you don't need, and extremely fair pricing.

Katelyn Stein

Highly recommend Des Moines Area Roofing. Tim and his team were very professional. Our home is more than 5,000 square feet, so this was a big job. The team arrived on time, in the heat of summer, and worked for 14 hours for 2 full days and half day on the third day. The team did an exceptional job. They were reliable, courteous and cleaned up thoroughly when they were done.
