Bakeris Roofing has been driving to Ames for roof work since 1990. We repair in every Ames neighborhood — the older homes and rentals near Iowa State University and Jack Trice Stadium, the mid-century houses off Lincoln Way, and the newer developments north of 13th Street and out toward Reiman Gardens. Because we've worked on so many Ames housing generations, we can pre-diagnose common failure points before we're even on the roof.

The August 2020 derecho hit Ames with 110+ mph sustained winds — among the highest anywhere in Iowa that day — and we're still finding derecho damage on Ames roofs years later. A common call we get is "my Ames roof is leaking and I have no idea why." Often the answer is a ridge cap wind-lifted during the derecho that slowly failed over the following years. We trace these sources with chalk-and-photo inspection.

Rental property owners near Iowa State: we handle repair portfolios for Ames landlords. Clean scheduling that works around tenants, photo-documented repair reports for your records, and 1099-ready invoicing. Many of the older Ames rentals have had decades of band-aid repairs from previous owners — we can do a structural inspection and tell you honestly whether ongoing repair or a scheduled replacement is the right long-term play.

Emergency leak response in Ames is same-day or next-day during business hours, depending on current workload and weather. We keep tarp kits on every truck. For overnight leaks, call first thing in the morning and we'll get you on the schedule that day whenever possible. Call (515) 967-8199.
