Roof Replacement in Ames, Iowa

Ames roof replacements typically run between $8,500 and $19,000. The older rental properties and single-family homes near Iowa State University and Jack Trice Stadium are usually $9,000-$14,000 and frequently need full tear-offs because of decades of Iowa moisture and student-house wear. Newer homes north of 13th Street and out toward Reiman Gardens are larger and typically land in the $13,000-$19,000 range.

Bakeris Roofing drives to Ames weekly for roof work, and we've been doing it since 1990. The August 2020 derecho hit Ames with 110+ mph sustained winds — among the highest in Iowa that day — and the damage is still being uncovered years later. Many Ames roofs that looked fine from the street have bruised shingles, lifted ridge caps, and hidden deck damage that shortens remaining life by a decade or more.

Our Ames replacements are complete system installs — synthetic underlayment across the full deck, ice-and-water shield on valleys and eaves (critical this far north in Iowa), sealed starter strip, continuous ridge vent, and premium architectural or impact-resistant shingles. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor, we offer the 50-year System Protection warranty on Duration and Duration FLEX lines.
