La Motte Roofing Services
La Motte Roofing & Maintenance handles every roofing job from a single-shingle repair to a full commercial re-roof. Here's what we do in La Motte.
Roof Replacement
The average roof replacement in La Motte takes one day for a standard residential home. Larger or steeper roofs might take two. Either way, we don't leave a house uncovered overnight. If we tear it off, we cover it before we leave. No exceptions.

Improper step flashing is the leading cause of roof leaks at wall-to-roof transitions. Step flashing needs to be woven between shingle courses with each piece extending 4" above the shingle exposure. We see La Motte homes where the last roofer used continuous L-flashing or just caulked the gap. That always fails. We tear it out and install proper step flashing with a kick-out diverter at the bottom per IRC R905.2.8.3.

Wind damage and hail damage look different and require different documentation. Our HAAG-trained inspectors know what adjusters look for: granule displacement patterns, fractures in the shingle mat, seal failures, cracked ridge caps. Proper documentation is why our claims get approved.

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.

Metal roofing reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it. In Iowa, that means 15-25% lower cooling costs compared to dark asphalt shingles. The higher upfront cost pays for itself over the life of the roof. And the life of a metal roof is twice or three times longer than shingles.

Asphalt shingles cover more homes in America than every other roofing material combined. There's a reason. They're affordable, they look good, they last 25-50 years depending on the grade, and they come in dozens of colors and profiles. Our La Motte crews have installed thousands of shingle roofs and we know the product better than most roofers in the state.

Modified bitumen is the best choice for residential flat roofs and low-traffic commercial applications in La Motte. We torch-apply SBS-modified base and cap sheets in a two-ply system. Granulated cap sheet handles foot traffic and UV exposure. 15-20 year warranty.

Commercial roof maintenance programs keep small problems from becoming big ones. We offer annual and semi-annual inspection contracts for La Motte building owners. We find and fix issues before they cause interior damage to your inventory, equipment, or tenant spaces.

Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts are the premium install for historic and high-end homes in La Motte. We solder every joint on-site with 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper weathers to a green patina in Iowa's climate over 5-7 years. For modern aluminum installs, we use Spectra Metals .027 gauge seamless stock in 25+ color options with Raytec hidden hangers rated to 25 lbs per linear foot of combined debris and ice load.

Annual inspections catch small problems early. A cracked pipe boot is a $150 repair. A year of water leaking through that crack causes $3,000+ in ceiling, insulation, and drywall damage. We recommend an inspection every 2-3 years for newer roofs, annually for roofs over 15 years.

We don't charge extra for emergency tarp jobs. The tarping cost is rolled into the permanent repair price. If you need us at midnight during a storm, the price is the same as a Tuesday afternoon.

Replacing an old leaking skylight is often cheaper than trying to repair it. New units from VELUX have Low-E laminated glass, argon fill, and No Leak guarantees when installed with the manufacturer's flashing system. Our La Motte crews replace skylights in a single day.
