This directory holds a single roofing listing for Rowley, Iowa. It is an address and contact record — no Google rating has been matched to it.
The listing is recorded in Buchanan County. Roofing permits and inspections are issued locally rather than by the state, so a re-roof in Rowley goes through Buchanan County or the municipality's own building department, whichever holds jurisdiction at the property.
Hiring a roofer in Rowley: what this page knows
Iowa does not license roofers; it requires them to register with the state, and that registration covers work in Rowley. The Iowa roofing license rules explain what a registration number does and does not tell you.
Iowa's peak severe-weather season: April–August. The Iowa storm center lists any National Weather Service alert active right now. NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 154 severe-weather events for Buchanan County between 2016 and 2026 — the county the listings on this page put Rowley in. The most recent event meeting the dataset's severity definition was a thunderstorm wind gust of 60 kt (about 69 mph) on August 11, 2026, a preliminary report that has not yet been through NOAA's quality-control review.
We have not modeled a cost index for Rowley. The national baseline puts a full roof replacement at $5,625–$27,000 and a repair at $250–$3,500; local labor, permit fees and access move both.

Licensing for roofers working in Rowley
Iowa does not license roofing contractors. It requires them to register with the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing, and that requirement covers work in Rowley.
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 Buchanan County or the city.
Source: Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing. Checked August 2026. Licensing rules change — verify before you sign anything.

National reference bands, not quotes and not local numbers. Local labor rates, permit fees and access all move them.

* 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
- Apr 14, 2026 -- Hail (Softball+ hail, 3.25 in)
- May 21, 2024 -- Thunderstorm Wind (78 kt gust)
- Jul 23, 2016 -- Tornado (EF1)
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
16 preliminary storm reports have been filed for Buchanan County since June 1, 2026: 14 thunderstorm wind events, 1 hail report and 1 tornado. The largest hail in the window is 1.75 in (Golf Ball), reported August 7, 2026. The strongest gust reported is 75 kt (about 86 mph), on August 11, 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.
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.
