Glidden Roofing Services
We don't do a little of everything. We do roofing. That specialization is why we can offer manufacturer certifications and the best warranties available to Glidden homeowners.
Roof Replacement
Full roof replacement starts with a complete tear-off down to the deck. We inspect every board for rot or soft spots. In Glidden, we find decking damage on about 30% of tear-offs. Damaged sections get replaced with CDX plywood before anything else goes on. Then we build up: ice and water shield in valleys and at eaves, synthetic underlayment across the full deck, new drip edge on every edge, starter strip, field shingles, hip and ridge caps, and ridge vent. Dumpster, permits, and cleanup included.

Most roof leaks in Glidden come from one of five places: pipe boots, step flashing at walls, valley flashing, damaged shingles, or failed seals around skylights. We find the actual source. Not just the drip point in your ceiling. And fix it right. Water travels along rafters and sheathing before it drips, so the leak location and the damage location are often 10 feet apart.

Storm damage is time-sensitive. Most insurance policies in Iowa require claims within 12 months. We do a free inspection, document every damaged area with photos and measurements, and help you file the claim. If the adjuster approves it, we handle the repairs at the insurance-approved price.

Proper ventilation is the most overlooked element in new roof installation. We calculate intake and exhaust per IRC R806 based on attic square footage. Balanced ventilation. Soffit intake matched to ridge exhaust. Keeps your attic cooler in summer and drier in winter. That extends roof life and cuts your energy bill.

Metal roofing works on pitches as low as 3:12 for standing seam and as low as 1:12 with specific underlayment and sealant requirements. Steep pitches look incredible in metal. We help you choose the right panel profile, material, and color for your Glidden home.

We install every major shingle brand: GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, CertainTeed Landmark, Atlas Pinnacle, Tamko Heritage, Malarkey Vista, and IKO Cambridge. Each brand has different warranty tiers, wind ratings, and price points. We help you compare without pushing one brand over another.

PVC membrane for Glidden restaurants, commercial kitchens, and facilities with rooftop grease exhaust or chemical exposure. PVC resists oils and animal fats that destroy TPO and EPDM membranes. We install IB Roof Systems and Duro-Last PVC with factory-fabricated accessories for watertight penetration details. Built-up roofing (BUR) uses 3 or 4 plies of fiberglass felt in hot asphalt with a gravel or cap sheet surface. Oldest proven flat roof system, with 30+ year service life in Iowa. We still install BUR when the application calls for it.

Multi-family properties in Glidden need roofing contractors who understand occupied buildings. We schedule around tenants, contain debris, and minimize noise during reasonable hours. Emergency leak repairs get priority. Water in someone's apartment is an emergency.

We hang gutters with hidden hangers screwed into the rafter tails or fascia board every 24 inches max. No spike-and-ferrule, no exposed hardware. Proper pitch is 1/4" per 10 feet toward each downspout. Too flat and water sits. Too steep and it looks wrong.

Buying or selling a home in Glidden? A roof inspection from a licensed contractor beats whatever the home inspector saw from the driveway. We check every component, give you a remaining-life estimate, and flag anything the buyer or seller should know about.

Fallen tree damage requires immediate structural assessment before tarping. If a tree has displaced rafters, cracked a ridge beam, or pushed through ceiling joists, the structure is compromised. We assess from both exterior and attic, coordinate with structural engineers or framing contractors when needed, and tarp only areas that are structurally stable enough to support the tarp hardware. Insurance claims for tree strikes require separate line items for tree removal, structural repair, and roofing repair. We document each scope independently.
Get a Free Quote →Skylight Installation
Skylights done right bring natural light into spaces that need it most. Bathrooms, hallways, closets, kitchens with limited windows. We install VELUX and Fakro units with manufacturer flashing kits that integrate with your existing shingle field. Proper flashing is everything. Bad skylight installs are a leading cause of roof leaks.
