Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Milo, 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.
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.
A metal roof is the one that outlives the mortgage. We install exposed fastener panels and standing seam over solid decking and real underlayment, with around twenty standard colors to choose from.
Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain is rarely under the hole. We trace the leak back to where it really starts and fix that.
When a roof is genuinely finished we replace it, and we say so plainly rather than dressing it up. Metal and shingle priced side by side so you can compare real numbers.
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.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
A shingle repair should not be visible from the street. We match as close as the weathering allows and blend the new work into the old.
Most roofs somebody has called a lost cause are not one. We repair what can be repaired, and we tell you honestly when a repair will no longer hold.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
Coatings for low slope and older metal roofs that are still sound but weathered. Washed down, refastened, primed at the rust, then coated.
Porch roofs, additions and low slope sections that hold water instead of shedding it. We rework the flashing, seal the seams, and get water moving again.
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.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
A skylight has to be woven into the roof, not caulked to it. That is the difference between a fix that lasts a season and one that holds.
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.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
Here is what working with us looks like in Milo: you call, somebody comes out and measures, and you get a written estimate with the panel or the shingle spelled out on it. If you say go, we schedule you and we show up on that day.
The crew tarps the beds, keeps the yard picked up as they go, and runs a magnet over the drive before pulling out. Small things, but they are the ones Milo homeowners still mention a year later.
Why people around Milo 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.
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.
Around twenty standard metal colors, and the chart comes out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding and shutters before you commit.
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.
Straight answers to what Milo homeowners ask us most often.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Milo 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 Milo 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 typical Milo 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.
Yes. Gutters, guards, soffit and fascia are all part of keeping the edge of a Milo roof dry, so we handle them along with the roof instead of sending you off to find somebody else to finish the job.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Milo roof and write an itemized estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We do not file the claim for you and we will not promise you what an adjuster is going to approve — that is their call, not ours.
For most Milo homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
