This site is a referral service for Des Moines and nearby towns in Polk County, Iowa. It is not a contractor. When you ask for help, we send your name, address and a note about the roof to one independent roofer serving your area, and that roofer contacts you directly. Roofers may pay us for these introductions. Homeowners pay us nothing.
Four Steps to an Estimate
- Tell us about the roof. Fill in the short form or phone (515) 555-0172. A line about its age, a leak or a recent storm helps.
- One roofer receives it. We share your request with a single independent roofer rather than a pile of companies.
- The inspection is free. The roofer checks the roof in person and can photograph anything worn or damaged.
- The estimate arrives in writing. Study the itemized figures, compare them with other bids if you like, and decide when you are ready.
Roofers You Can Verify
Iowa does not license roofers statewide. Instead, Iowa Code chapter 91C says contractors who earn $2,000 or more a year from construction must register with the state, and out-of-state contractors also file a $25,000 bond. Registration shows a business has filed with Iowa. It says nothing about workmanship, so treat it as a floor, not a mark of quality. Before you sign, check these:
- The registration number. Ask for it, then confirm it with the state's contractor registration line at 515-242-5871.
- Proof of insurance. Request a current certificate before any work begins on your house.
- Written warranties. Get the manufacturer's warranty and the roofer's labor warranty on paper.
- An itemized contract. Tear-off, materials, labor and the total should each be spelled out.
- A local address and references. Look for a real place of business and a few past customers you can call.
Where This Service Stops
Our role is finished once your request reaches the roofer. Everything after that is between the two of you.
- No roofing work. We don't tear off, install or repair anything, and we never send anyone onto your roof.
- No bids or prices. Every figure you see for the job comes from the roofer, in writing.
- No contracts with us. There is nothing to sign with this site.
- No claim handling. We never contact your insurer or adjuster. Under Iowa Code § 103A.71, roofers can't negotiate your claim either; only a licensed public adjuster or your attorney can act for you.
- No deductible deals or perks. We offer no rebates, credits or rewards, and Iowa bars roofers from promising to rebate any part of your deductible.
