This directory holds nine roofing listings for Iowa City, Iowa. None of them has a Google rating matched to it yet, so what follows is contact detail rather than reputation data.
All of them are recorded in Johnson County. Roofing permits and inspections are issued locally rather than by the state, so a re-roof in Iowa City goes through Johnson County or the municipality's own building department, whichever holds jurisdiction at the property.

Licensing for roofers working in Iowa City
Iowa does not licence roofing contractors. It requires them to register with the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing, and that requirement covers work in Iowa City.
Registration and licensure are not the same thing — a registration number records that a business completed a filing, and it sits alongside, not instead of, a permit and an inspection through Johnson County or the city.
Source: Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing. Checked August 2026. Licensing rules change — verify before you sign anything.
What roofing work costs
We have not modelled a cost index for Iowa City, so there is no Iowa City figure here. These are the national baseline bands, unadjusted.
National reference bands, not quotes and not local numbers. Local labor rates, permit fees and access all move them.

Storm history in Johnson County
Iowa City has no weather record of its own — NOAA records severe weather against counties, and the listings on this page put Iowa City in Johnson County. These are weather records for the whole county, not an assessment of any building in Iowa City.
NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 198 severe-weather events recorded against Johnson County between 2016 and 2026: 92 hail reports, 92 thunderstorm wind events and 14 tornadoes.
Of the 92 hail reports, 65 measured 1.00 in across or larger and 27 measured under an inch. The largest on record is 2.75 in (Softball+) on March 10, 2026.
The strongest wind gust in the record is 72 kt (about 83 mph), a measured gust, on August 28, 2018. The county record holds 14 tornadoes over the same period.

* The most recent data year is partial. NOAA publishes storm reports on a rolling basis and the final months are still being processed, so a low count in the last year is not evidence of a quiet year. The curated archive behind these counts runs through May 31, 2026; anything later sits in the preliminary block below.
Notable events in the archive
- Mar 10, 2026 -- Hail (Softball+ hail, 2.75 in)
- Mar 31, 2023 -- Tornado (EF2)
- Aug 28, 2018 -- Thunderstorm Wind (72 kt gust)
- May 17, 2017 -- Thunderstorm Wind (60 kt gust) -- $10K property damage reported
Selected by the dataset’s own rule rather than by editorial choice: the largest hail, the peak wind gust, the strongest tornado and the two costliest events by recorded property damage, deduplicated and newest first. Any dollar figure above is NOAA’s recorded estimate for that one event.
Preliminary — not yet in the permanent archive
10 preliminary storm reports have been filed for Johnson County since June 1, 2026: 10 thunderstorm wind events. The strongest gust reported is 70 kt (about 81 mph), on June 17, 2026.
Preliminary reports covering 2026-05-31 onward come from National Weather Service storm reports filed as events occur. They have not yet been through the quality-control review that produces the permanent archive, and individual reports may later be revised, combined or withdrawn. NOAA Storm Prediction Center storm reports.
What these counts cover. County figures count events NOAA recorded against a county (hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes). High wind, winter storms, ice storms, blizzards, heavy snow, hurricanes and tropical storms are recorded against National Weather Service forecast zones rather than counties, so they are reported at state level instead. Counts reflect events that were observed and reported.
“Significant” on this page means an event meeting any one of three tests: hail 1.00 in across or larger, a wind gust of 58 kt or more (the National Weather Service severe thunderstorm criterion), or any tornado. It is a severity definition used by this dataset and is not an official NOAA classification.
The damage figure. $10,000 is the sum of NOAA’s recorded property-damage estimates across every event in Johnson County over the period — a county total, not a figure for any one property, any one building or any one claim. NOAA records these figures as estimates made at the time of reporting. They are not adjusted for inflation, and they are frequently absent or zero — a zero means nothing was recorded, not that nothing was damaged.
Source. Archived figures come from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events Database, covering 2016 through May 31, 2026. Anything after that date comes from NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary storm reports and is labelled preliminary wherever it appears. Both are US Government works in the public domain.
