Full-Service Roofing | Baxter, IA
Whether it's a leaky pipe boot or a 50-square replacement, our Baxter crews have the training and equipment to handle it. Residential and commercial.
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 Baxter, 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 Baxter 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.

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.

Standing seam metal is the longest-lasting residential roofing material you can install. 40-60 year lifespan, virtually zero maintenance, and it sheds hail and debris better than any shingle. Our Baxter metal crews install residential and commercial standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle profiles.

EPDM (rubber roofing) has a 50+ year track record as a flat roofing membrane. We install fully adhered EPDM with taped or glued seams over polyiso insulation. It's a great option for Baxter building owners who want proven performance at a lower cost than TPO or PVC.

Your commercial roof has HVAC units, exhaust fans, plumbing vents, and satellite dishes punching through it. Every penetration is a potential leak point. We install prefabricated curbs, custom-welded flashings, and pitch pans that handle foot traffic and thermal cycling without failing.

We install gutter guards for homeowners who are done cleaning gutters twice a year. Micro-mesh over the opening, screwed into the front lip. Leaves and pine needles sit on top and blow off. Not 100% maintenance-free, but close. You might hose them once a year.

Commercial and flat roof inspections include infrared moisture scanning with Flir E8 thermal cameras. Trapped moisture in the insulation layer shows as temperature differentials on the thermal image. No need to cut core samples everywhere. We identify wet zones, then core sample the suspect areas to confirm. This approach gives you a precise repair scope at a fraction of the cost of exploratory tear-offs.

Buckets, plastic sheeting, water extraction if accessible, (2) exterior tarping with 20x30 heavy-duty poly sheeting over damaged area extending minimum 4 feet past damage on all sides, (3) secure with 2x4 nailer boards lag-screwed to the roof deck (not through shingles), (4) secondary tarp overlap for multi-section damage, (5) document with timestamped photos for insurance.

VELUX FS (fixed) and VS (vented) skylights installed with EDL flashing kits for shingle roofs. The multi-step flashing integrates with the surrounding shingle courses per IRC R903.2. We frame the curb with doubled 2x8 or 2x10 lumber (depending on rafter depth), install ice and water shield membrane around the entire curb perimeter, then set the skylight with factory sealant before weaving step flashing into the field. Top headwall flashing tucks under the upslope shingle course. Bottom sill pan diverts water onto the downslope shingles. Zero exposed sealant joints. Mechanical flashing only.
