New Construction Roof Installation FAQs

Have questions about our new construction roof installation services? We’ve got the answers. Here are some common inquiries we receive at JB Roofing & Gutters:

Yes, without question. Installing a roof on a new home involves much more than laying shingles. It includes:

  • Structural evaluation
  • Proper underlayment and waterproofing
  • Ventilation and flashing systems
  • Compliance with Iowa building codes

Our licensed professionals ensure your roof is structurally sound, energy-efficient, and built to last.

Costs depend on factors like:

  • Square footage of the roof
  • Material selection (e.g. asphalt shingles vs. metal)
  • Complexity of the roof pitch and layout

What we provide: A detailed, itemized quote with transparent pricing—no surprise charges.

Absolutely. We work directly with general contractors and project managers to:

  • Align our install with your construction timeline
  • Communicate proactively around milestones
  • Avoid scheduling delays or rework

We’re known for being builder-friendly and deadline-oriented.

A professionally installed new roof:

  • Enhances insulation and ventilation
  • Reduces heat loss in winter and cooling loads in summer
  • Can be upgraded with solar-ready options

You’ll save on utility bills—and reduce your carbon footprint.

We only use premium-grade materials from trusted manufacturers like Owens Corning.

Why Owens Corning?

  • Class 4 storm resistance

Yes, our team guides you through the permit process. Although roofers in Iowa don’t always submit permits directly, we understand local Ankeny construction regulations and can provide the necessary documentation, schedule information, and inspection coordination so your project stays compliant from start to finish.

The timeline differs based on roof complexity and weather, but most residential new construction roof installations take 1 to 3 days once framing is ready. We coordinate directly with your builder to ensure we’re onsite exactly when needed—and off before the next phase begins.

Yes—with the right materials and process, we install year-round. In winter, we use cold-weather adhesives and moisture-resistant barriers designed for Iowa’s freeze/thaw cycles. Safety and performance are still our top priorities—even in cold weather builds.

We recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles like Owens Corning Duration® for optimal performance in Iowa’s hail and snow-prone climate. Metal roofing is also a durable, energy-efficient option for certain builds. We’ll help you compare the best fit for your home and budget.

Real Feedback from Iowa Homeowners

Tria Vang

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!

Messaged on Saturday night, showed up Sunday after my daughter had soccer. Climbed the roof and explained what he thought was happening and didn’t try to oversell on anything. Super friendly guy and I would recommend him to anyone that asks.

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!!

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!

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!

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 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.
