Book a free roof inspection and written price

What you'll see on the day

Someone arrives at the time you agreed, usually within a day or two of your call and sooner after a storm. They climb every slope that's safe, check the flashing, vents and gutters, look in the attic if you'll let them, and take photos the whole way. You don't need to know what's wrong before they come; working that out is the point of the visit.

What the written price lists

Every line you'd want to compare: tear-off and disposal, decking priced per sheet, underlayment and ice and water shield, new flashing and pipe boots, ridge and soffit ventilation, the permit, a magnetic nail sweep at the end of each day, and the workmanship warranty in writing. Repair and replacement options are both shown when both make sense. If hail or wind is involved, you'll hear whether a claim looks worthwhile before you phone your insurer.

What happens, and by when

• The price stays good for 30 days.
• There's no charge for the visit and no obligation to go ahead; getting a second opinion is fine with us.
• Nothing is owed before you approve the price and the job is scheduled.

Water dripping in right now? Say so when you call (515) 420-1811 and a tarp goes on first. The paperwork can wait until the house is dry.
