Roofing in Bondurant, where the last house on the street faces a cornfield
Bondurant has gone from a small farm town to one of the fastest-growing communities in northeast Polk County. A lot of its homes are new, and a lot of them look straight out over open fields.
That view comes with exposure. Storms build over open country to the west and north and arrive at full strength, and the first row of houses takes the worst of it. In Bondurant we see wind-lifted shingles on new roofs whose seal strips never fully set, hail on west and north slopes, and debris damage from whatever the wind picked up in the fields.
Newer roofs here raise a common question: why did shingles blow off a two-year-old roof? Usually because shingles installed in cool weather didn't bond before the first strong wind, or the nailing was high. Either way, the fix is the same: replace the damaged shingles, hand-seal the ones around them, and check the rest of the slope.
On the acreages around town we roof houses, garages and outbuildings, often in metal for the shop and shingles or metal for the house. We also check gutters and downspouts on every visit, because overflowing gutters next to a new foundation are a basement leak waiting to happen. Permits for work in town come from the City of Bondurant.
Bondurant roofing questions
Shingles blew off my new roof. Is that covered?
Wind damage is usually an insurance matter; installation defects may fall under the builder's warranty. We'll document what we see so you can take it to the right party.
