Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is the longest-lasting residential roof material you can buy. Properly installed, a quality metal roof will last 50+ years. Two to three times the life of asphalt shingles, while shrugging off the hail, wind, and snow load that Iowa weather delivers every year. That's why the homeowners who do the math usually land on metal for their second or third roof replacement.

Bakeris Roofing has been installing metal roofs in Central Iowa since 1990. The two most common residential systems we install are stone-coated steel (the most popular option for homeowners who want the curb appeal of traditional shingles with metal durability) and standing seam (the modern architectural look with hidden fasteners and the longest track record of watertight performance). We also handle corrugated and specialty metal panels for agricultural outbuildings and commercial projects.

Metal is Class 4 impact-resistant by default, which may qualify for a wind/hail policy discount; eligibility and savings vary by insurer. The upfront cost is higher than asphalt. Roughly 2-3x, but the long service life can improve the ownership math. Compare our written price with any verified policy discount, expected energy performance, and how long you plan to own the home. For a "forever home," metal is usually the right math.
