Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Newton, IA homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Everything we do on a roof, done by crews who have been doing it the same careful way since 2002.
A coating buys real years on the right roof and wastes money on the wrong one. We will tell you honestly which kind you are looking at.
If two other people have caulked it and it still leaks, call us. Most stubborn leaks turn out to be flashing, a valley, or a fastener nobody thought to check.
A twenty year old panel roof usually needs fasteners and sealant, not replacement. We refasten with new washers and get you another long stretch out of it.
A limb through the roof or panels peeled back overnight needs covering now, not next week. We get it dried in first so the inside of the house stops taking damage.
Lifted panels, missing shingles, flashing that has given up where the chimney comes through. We find what is actually wrong, fix that, and leave the rest of your roof alone.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs, measured and cut on site. We help you settle on a color, set the panels straight, and trim the ridge and valleys so the whole roof sheds water the way it should.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
Not every hailstorm ruins a roof. We look before we tell you anything, and if the damage is only cosmetic we will say that too.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
A replacement is a big spend and it should feel orderly. We schedule around dry weather, work in the right order, and never leave a house open overnight.
A careful walk over the whole roof — panels, shingles, valleys, flashing, fasteners — plus the attic side when there is a way in. You get photos and a straight answer.
If wind got under your roof once it will try again. We fix the damage and close the edge back up so there is nothing left to catch.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
Our crews in Newton work the way this family has always worked — on time, cleaned up, and finished before anybody calls it finished. You will know who is coming, what day they are coming, and what the number is before anything starts.
If weather moves your Newton job, we call you. If we open the roof and find rotten decking, we show you the boards and price the change before we touch it. Nobody likes surprises on a roof, us included.
Why people around Newton call us back and send their neighbors our way.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
A few backed out screws or a whole roof off a church — we take both. No job is too small to get the same crew and the same care.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
Straight answers to what Newton homeowners ask us most often.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Newton metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside the house. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed straight to open purlins over a barn with nothing underneath.
Plenty of them. Most Newton customers choose from around twenty standard colors, and green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones people pick most. We bring the color chart out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding.
A typical Newton shingle roof runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026 for an average single family home, and more if the deck has rot or the roof is steep and cut up with dormers. We do not price off a satellite photo — somebody comes out and measures.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Newton roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Newton metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
A metal roof installed properly on a Newton home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
