Building a new home or adding on to your existing one? Dows Roofing & Maintenance handles new roof installation from decking to ridge cap. We work with your general contractor or architect to coordinate scheduling, material selection, and code compliance for your Dows build.
Our New Roof Installation Process
Plan Review & Consultation
Meet with our Dows project coordinator to select materials, review color options, and confirm the installation scope. We work with your GC or architect to ensure the roof spec meets the overall building design.
Preparation
We coordinate delivery timing with your GC so materials don't sit exposed longer than necessary. Our staging crew organizes everything on the roof deck for efficient installation the next morning.
Certified Installation
Our Dows crew installs every layer to manufacturer specifications: underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, starter strip, field material, hip and ridge caps, and ventilation. Every fastener placed per the manufacturer nailing schedule.
Inspection & Warranty
Final quality check against manufacturer installation requirements. Building inspection coordinated through our Dows office. Warranty registered directly with GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed.

Why Choose Dows Roofing & Maintenance for New Roof Installation?
Ventilation Design
We calculate intake and exhaust per IRC R806 for every new install. Balanced ventilation extends roof life and cuts energy costs. Most contractors skip this step.
Builder Coordination
We work directly with your GC on scheduling, staging, and inspections. On-time delivery and clean work that doesn't slow down the rest of the build.
New Construction Specialists
We install new roofs on new builds every week. Our Dows crews know the pace, the coordination, and the quality standards that new construction demands.
Material Selection Guidance
Shingles, metal, flat systems. We install all of them and help you choose based on your budget, design, and the demands of IA climate.
About Our Dows New Roof Installation Services
We install to manufacturer specifications and local Dows building codes. That means proper underlayment per ASTM standards, ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, correct nailing patterns, and ventilation sized to the space. Every component documented for your warranty registration and building inspection.
New roof pricing depends on material choice, roof size, and pitch. Architectural shingles in Dows run $350-$550 per square installed. Standing seam metal is $12-$22 per square foot. We provide detailed proposals with exact pricing for your specific project.
