If you're thinking about metal roofing for your Decorah home, here's the math: metal costs more upfront ($12-$22 per square foot versus $4-$8 for shingles), but metal lasts 2-3 times longer, cuts cooling costs 15-25%, and has virtually no maintenance. Over a 50-year span, metal is the cheaper option.
Our Metal Roofing Process
Design & Material Selection
We discuss your goals, show you panel and color samples, and help you choose the right metal system for your Decorah home. Standing seam, corrugated, or metal shingle. Each has different aesthetics, costs, and performance characteristics.
Material Preparation
Metal roof panels are custom-ordered to the exact lengths needed for your roof. Trim, flashing, and ridge cap pieces specified and fabricated for your specific roof geometry. Lead time is typically 2-3 weeks for custom orders.
Professional Metal Crew
Installation by our dedicated metal crew, not a shingle crew with a metal job on the side. These installers do metal roofing every week. Seams are tight, transitions are clean, and every penetration is properly flashed.
Inspection & Warranty
We walk the property with you and point out the finished details. Manufacturer warranty and workmanship warranty provided in writing. Your metal roof is covered for decades.

Class 4 Impact Resistance
UL 2218 Class 4 rated. Handles the largest hail without compromising the waterproof system. Often qualifies for insurance premium discounts in IA.
