A Roof Built to Perform for Decades
Installing a roof correctly means far more than nailing shingles to a deck. It's a layered system of components working together, and how well the finished roof performs depends entirely on how carefully each layer goes down and how well it ties into the layers around it.
Every installation Stormproof Roofing takes on in Altoona, IA starts with a close look at the structural substrate underneath. For new construction, that means confirming the roof framing can handle the load requirements of the product you've chosen. For a full replacement, it means checking every inch of the existing deck for moisture damage, rot, or nail-pull problems before a single new material goes on.
From there, we build the roofing system in the correct order: drip edge along the eaves, ice and water shield wherever it's required, synthetic or felt underlayment over the entire deck, valley flashing, step and counter flashing at wall transitions and chimney bases, pipe boot flashing at every penetration, and finally the primary roofing material itself. Each piece goes in exactly to manufacturer spec, which keeps your warranty coverage fully intact from day one.
