Yes, commercial roofing requires much more than basic installation. Every project must meet strict building codes, safety standards, and structural requirements.

At JB Roofing, our team handles detailed inspections, precise installations, and long-term maintenance so your roof performs safely and efficiently.

Working with a professional also protects your manufacturer warranty and ensures your investment is built to last.

The cost of commercial roofing is influenced by your building’s size, roof pitch, selected materials such as asphalt, metal, or EPDM, and the overall complexity of the work. At JB Roofing, we focus on clear, upfront pricing so you know what to expect from the start.

Every business receives a free, upfront estimate so you understand costs before work begins.

We also partner with Acorn Finance and The Consumer Credit Center to offer financing options, making large-scale projects more manageable.

Clues that your commercial roof may need professional attention include leaks inside the building, areas where water collects after rain, uneven heating or cooling costs, or visible damage such as cracked or missing materials.

In Iowa, storm damage and harsh winters can also accelerate deterioration.

If you notice higher energy bills or see daylight through roof seams, it’s time to schedule an inspection. JB Roofing can evaluate your roof and recommend the best next steps.

The timeline for commercial roofing depends on factors like roof size, material type, and weather conditions.

At JB Roofing, we focus on efficiency without cutting corners, making sure each commercial roofing project is finished carefully for durability and long-term value.

We install a variety of proven systems to fit different business needs, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing panels, and EPDM membranes.

Each material has unique benefits: asphalt provides an affordable, versatile solution, metal is valued for its strength and long service life, and EPDM works well for flat or low-slope commercial buildings.

During your free consultation, we’ll recommend the best fit for your building.

I highly recommend JB Roofing. They were very professional and helpful throughout the whole process. We had a full roof replacement due to hail damage. The installation crew did the entire job (removal, installation and cleanup) in 5 hours! I was impressed with everyone I worked with. They were all professional and very responsive. They made the process very easy.

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!

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 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!

Thought I needed a new roof, but Joe was very honest to let me know that I had a few more years. He also showed me an issue with a troubled spot and explained how to fix it myself. Appreciate the honesty and will be contacting him when it’s time to get a new roof!!
