Roof Replacement Services FAQ

Got questions about replacing your roof in Iowa? We’ve got the expert answers. Here’s what homeowners ask most often about our roof replacement services at JB Roofing & Gutters.

Yes — professional installation is essential.

Roof replacement involves far more than just taking off worn-out shingles. Our certified team performs a full inspection, ensures proper ventilation and underlayment, and installs your new roof to meet local codes and manufacturer standards — all while protecting your home’s structure and long-term value.

It depends on size, materials, and complexity.

Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in Iowa range from $7,000–$15,000, depending on roof size, slope, material choice, and whether repairs are needed. We provide free, itemized quotes so you’ll know exactly what to expect — no surprises.

Look for these signs:

  • Curled, cracked, or missing shingles
  • Water stains on ceilings or attic walls
  • Roof is 20+ years old (for asphalt)
  • Frequent leaks or visible sagging

We also offer free roof inspections to help you decide if a repair or full replacement is best.

Minimal disruption, maximum care.

Most replacements take 1–2 days. We coordinate scheduling in advance, maintain a clean job site, and keep noise and mess to a minimum. You can stay in your home during the project in most cases.

Spring through early fall is ideal.

Mild, dry weather is best for roofing. However, we work year-round and can accommodate emergency replacements after storms or insurance events.

Absolutely.

New roofing systems improve insulation and ventilation, helping reduce heating and cooling bills. Ask about energy-efficient shingles, ridge vents, or radiant barrier underlayments for even greater savings.

Sometimes — especially for storm damage.

If your roof has taken a hit from nature by hail, wind, or other covered perils, your insurance may pay for a partial or full replacement. Our team helps document damage thoroughly and communicates with your provider to support the claims process, so you understand what’s covered and what to expect.

Most projects take just 1–2 days.

The duration depends on the size, pitch, and complexity of your roof. A typical asphalt shingle replacement on a single-family home is completed within one or two working days, weather permitting. We always provide a detailed timeline before starting.

We offer asphalt, metal, and impact-resistant roofing.

Our most popular choice is asphalt shingles due to affordability and style options. We also offer metal roofing for enhanced durability and energy efficiency, and Class 4 impact-rated shingles for hail-prone areas. We’ll help you choose the best fit for your home and budget.

We offer both manufacturer and workmanship warranties.

All roof replacements include a manufacturer’s product warranty (up to 50 years) and our 10-year workmanship guarantee. That means you’re covered for both material defects and installation-related issues — giving you peace of mind for years to come.

JB Roofing installed a new roof 2 years ago. Joe told me we had one of the “pitchest” roofs. He removed our old shake shingles and put on new architectural shingles. His team was respectful, quick, affordable and did a great job cleaning up after.
JB Roofing and Gutters installed new gutters on our house last week. Again, his team was so polite, quick and affordable! Thanks JB Roofing & Gutters!

Officially met Joe tonight but tons of my clients have used him and been tickled pink. He’s my go to roofing contractor I refer to all my clients, friends and family! Everyone loves his attention to detail! Appreciates his honesty and knowledge. And best of all love his competitive prices! Tonight he came almost instantly upon call to look at a few of my vents and roof! True professional!

JB Roofing did an excellent job on our house! We had an emergency and needed to get the roof done sooner then discussed when getting our estimate. JB Roofing stepped up and got it done the next week! Estimate was right on and they went above and beyond doing extra little touches to make it perfect! I would highly recommend JB Roofing to everyone!

I had JB Roofing come look at my roof to diagnose a small leak in my upstairs bathroom. Joe found the root cause–cracked vent pipe gasket/caulking–within a minute after climbing onto my roof. He caulked it up free of charge (he didn’t want payment as it was a temporary fix until we can setup a time for him to come back for the permanent fix)! Thank you Joe!

JB Roofing was professional, quick to respond, organized and above anything had AMAZING customer service! My elderly client was taken care of, not taken advantage of! I truly appreciate and respect the work they did for my client, we were in a time crunch and they fit us in before others even responded to my request to have someone out. I will recommend JB Roofing to my future clients!

They made the process very easy.
