  • How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced or repaired?

    If you notice missing or damaged shingles, find leaks in your attic after rain, or know that your roof is over 15 years old, it may be time for an inspection. Call our team of qualified roofers today to schedule yours!

  • What are the common signs of roof damage?

    Signs of a damaged roof include missing or curling shingles, water stains on the ceiling, visible sagging, and increased energy bills. Regular inspections can catch these issues early. Call our team of professional roofers at Bakeris Roofing to address roof damage quickly.

  • How often should I have my roof inspected?

    It's recommended to have your roof inspected annually, especially after severe weather events. Early detection of issues can prevent more extensive damage. To get started with an inspection, contact our team of local roofers today.

  • What factors affect the cost of roof replacement?

    Factors include the size of the roof, choice of materials, local labor costs, and the extent of damage. A professional assessment is necessary for an accurate estimate. To learn more about our roof replacement process, give us a call today. Our roofers would be happy to ensure that all of your questions are answered.

  • Do I need to replace the entire roof? Can I repair specific sections?

    In some cases, repairs can address specific issues, but if the roof is aging or has widespread damage, a full replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. Our roofers will give your roof a thorough inspection, providing valuable insight into which option is right for you.

  • What materials are best for roofing in the Des Moines area?

    Common choices include asphalt shingles, metal shingles, or metal shakes. The best material depends on factors like climate, budget, and aesthetic preferences. Give our roofers a call today to hear about what high-quality products we carry and recommend.

  • How long does a typical roof replacement or repair take?

    The duration varies based on the scope of the project. A repair may take a day, while a full replacement could take a few days depending on roof size. Our roofers will provide a specific timeline after your project is scheduled, ensuring that you're notified of any changes ASAP. When you work with Bakeris Roofing, you'll receive the industry-leading customer service you deserve.

  • Are there any local building codes or regulations I need to be aware of?

    Yes, there are likely local codes that dictate aspects of roofing projects. Our team of qualified roofers has over 30 years of experience repairing and installing Iowa roofs, so you can feel confident that we'll adhere to all legalities, building codes, and regulations.

  • What steps should I take after severe weather damage to my roof?

    Contact your insurance company, document the damage with photographs, and schedule a professional inspection to assess the extent of the damage. While storm damage never comes at an opportune time, it's important to call in roofers ASAP to ensure that the next storm doesn't cause any further damage. According to the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, on average, Iowa sees close to 50 tornadoes, tens of flash flood events, hundreds of severe thunderstorms, and thousands of non-severe thunderstorms every year. Be ready for them by quickly addressing roof damage.

  • Is it possible to install a new roof over the existing one? Is a tear-off necessary?

    If you install over an existing roof, usually the shingle manufacturer will not stand behind their warranty. Most roofing companies will not do it either due to it voiding their warranties. With over 30 years of experience, our team of professional roofers doesn't recommend this approach to roofing installation. Give us a call today to learn more about our commitment to excellent, long-lasting roofing solutions.
