823 roofing listings are recorded across 157 Iowa cities and towns in this directory; 46 of those places have enough listings to carry a page of their own, and the rest are reachable through search.
Iowa's peak severe-weather season: April–August. The roofing work it generates comes from straight-line wind, hail, tornadoes and snow load and winter storms. The Iowa storm center lists any National Weather Service alert active now.NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 9,128 county-level severe-weather events across Iowa between 2016 and 2026, including 798 tornadoes and 2,857 hail reports of 1.00 in or larger; the heaviest county record is Polk County's, with 380 events. The most recent event in the state meeting the dataset's severity definition was a tornado event in Louisa County on August 19, 2026, a preliminary report not yet through NOAA's quality-control review.
Our cost model carries no regional index for a Iowa metro yet, so the figure to plan around is the national baseline, which puts a full roof replacement at $5,625–$27,000. Local labor, permit fees and roof access move it in both directions.
823 roofing listings are recorded across 157 Iowa cities and towns in this directory; 46 of those places have enough listings to carry a page of their own, and the rest are reachable through search. A listing is a location record; the ranked lists on this site collapse a company that serves many towns to one card, so the number of companies shown is lower than the number of listings counted.
