Roofing in Iowa: What You Need to Know

Iowa is in the heart of Tornado Alley and gets severe hailstorms every spring and summer. Winter brings heavy snow, ice storms, and sustained sub-zero temperatures that test every roofing material. Wind is a year-round factor across the open terrain.

Iowa requires roofing contractors to register with the Iowa Division of Labor. Contractors must carry workers' compensation insurance if they have employees and general liability insurance.
