Questions and Answers

As a Decorah homeowner, what's the most common roofing issue you see, and how do you address it?

In our climate, roof ventilation frost and wind damage are frequent concerns. Poor attic ventilation can lead to ice dams and interior moisture issues, while high winds common in the area can loosen or damage shingles. We address this by conducting thorough inspections of your attic's airflow and recommending solutions like proper soffit and ridge venting. For wind resistance, we ensure secure installation techniques and can discuss more wind-resistant materials, like certain steel roofing profiles, suitable for Decorah's weather patterns.

What types of siding do you recommend for homes in Northeast Iowa?

We typically work with LP Smart Siding and vinyl, as both offer strong performance for our region. LP Smart Siding is a durable engineered wood product that holds up well to temperature swings and can be painted any color. Vinyl siding is a low-maintenance, cost-effective option that provides good insulation and resistance to moisture. During a consultation, we can assess your home's specific exposure, style, and your budget to help determine the best material for long-term protection and curb appeal in Decorah.

Do you handle both the roofing and siding for a full exterior remodel?

Yes, absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, we commonly manage complete exterior renovations. This includes coordinating the tear-off of old roofing and siding, inspecting and repairing the underlying sheathing and framing, and then installing the new roofing and siding systems. Handling both under one contract with our experienced crew ensures proper sequencing, protects the home from weather during the project, and provides you with a single point of contact for the entire job, from initial estimate to final cleanup.
