Services | Remsen Roofing & Maintenance | Remsen, IA
Everything we do is roofing. That focus means our Remsen crews install more roofs per year than companies that try to do siding, windows, and remodeling on the side.
Roof Replacement
GAF Timberline HDZ with the full GAF Roof System qualifies your home for the Golden Pledge warranty. That's 25 years on workmanship and 50 years on materials, including algae protection. We install Cobra Snow Country ridge vent with external baffle, FeltBuster synthetic underlayment meeting ASTM D226 Type II equivalent, and Starter Match Pro starter strip. Every component is GAF-approved and inspection-documented.

Roof Repair
Improper step flashing is the leading cause of roof leaks at wall-to-roof transitions. Step flashing needs to be woven between shingle courses with each piece extending 4" above the shingle exposure. We see Remsen homes where the last roofer used continuous L-flashing or just caulked the gap. That always fails. We tear it out and install proper step flashing with a kick-out diverter at the bottom per IRC R905.2.8.3.

Storm Damage Repair
Not all storm damage qualifies for a full replacement. Hail might only damage one slope. Wind might only lift shingles on the windward side. We document exactly what's damaged and let the insurance company make the call. Honest documentation gets claims approved. Inflated claims get denied.

New Roof Installation
New construction means we get to do everything right from scratch. No compromises, no working around someone else's mistakes. Ice and water shield where it belongs, properly lapped underlayment, correct nailing patterns, and ventilation sized to the space. That's a roof that lasts.

Metal Roofing
Metal roof repairs are usually sealant failures at transitions, loose panels from improper installation, or rust spots on older galvanized systems. Our Remsen crew repairs all metal types. Not every issue needs a full replacement. Sometimes a sealant touch-up or panel re-securing solves it.

Shingle Roofing
GAF Timberline HDZ. The best-selling shingle in North America. With StrikeZone nailing area for consistent fastener placement. Class A fire rating per UL 790, Class 4 impact resistance per UL 2218 (when installed in the GAF Roof System), and Class H wind rating per ASTM D7158 (130 mph). We install Timberline in the full GAF system to qualify for Golden Pledge warranty: 25-year non-prorated workmanship plus 50-year materials with WindProven limited wind warranty (no max speed). That warranty is why we recommend GAF for most Remsen homes.

Flat Roofing
Flat roof leak detection in Remsen: we start with a visual inspection of seams, flashings, and penetrations. If the leak source isn't obvious, we use electronic leak detection (ELD) or flood testing on membrane roofs. We find it and fix it. No guessing, no unnecessary tear-offs.

Commercial Roofing
For commercial kitchens and restaurants in Remsen, PVC membrane is the only option that resists animal fat and chemical exposure from rooftop grease exhaust. We install IB Roof Systems and Duro-Last PVC with heat-welded seams and custom accessories. Modified bitumen with SBS or APP polymer-modified asphalt for high-traffic commercial roofs. Two-ply systems with 20-year NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties from Johns Manville or Firestone.

Gutter Installation
Seamless aluminum in 5" K-style is the standard for Remsen residential. We use 6" K-style on larger homes, steeper pitches, or roof areas with high water volume. Downspouts are 2x3" on 5" gutters and 3x4" on 6" gutters. Matched to handle the flow.

Roof Inspection
We don't inspect roofs from the ground with binoculars. We get on the roof. Every inspection includes a full walkthrough: shingle condition, flashing integrity, pipe boots, ridge vent, soffit ventilation, gutter function, and visible attic moisture signs. You get photos and a written report.

Emergency Roof Repair
Emergency tarping is step one. Stop the water. We secure heavy-duty poly tarps over the damaged area using 2x4 nailer boards attached to the deck. Once the immediate threat is contained, we schedule the permanent repair within 48-72 hours.

Skylight Installation
Replacing an old leaking skylight is often cheaper than trying to repair it. New units from VELUX have Low-E laminated glass, argon fill, and No Leak guarantees when installed with the manufacturer's flashing system. Our Remsen crews replace skylights in a single day.
