GSM Home Solutions | Windows Installation & Roofing in Iowa City, IA 52246

As your local general contractor, we take a whole-house approach. We assess your attic insulation, ventilation, and air sealing—key factors that cause uneven roof temperatures and lead to ice dams and frost. By correcting these issues, we stop the heat loss that melts snow on your roof, preventing the freeze-thaw cycle that causes damage. It's a proactive solution that protects your roof, walls, and interior from water intrusion.

Absolutely. While windows themselves don't ventilate the attic, old, drafty windows contribute to overall heat loss and moisture issues in your home. By installing modern, energy-efficient windows, we help stabilize indoor temperatures and humidity levels. This reduces the amount of warm, moist air rising into your attic—a primary cause of condensation and frost on roof sheathing. It's a critical part of a comprehensive home performance strategy.

First, safely check for interior signs like water stains on ceilings or walls. Then, contact us immediately. As roofing specialists, we'll conduct a thorough inspection to assess the damage to shingles, flashing, and decking. More importantly, we'll identify the root cause—often inadequate attic ventilation or insulation—and provide a repair plan that fixes the damage *and* includes preventative upgrades to stop it from happening again next winter.
