A Complete Roofing System, Installed Right
A roof is more than the shingles you see from the street. Every Ultimate Exteriors roof replacement covers the whole system: the decking, ice and water barrier at the eaves and valleys, underlayment, flashing around chimneys and vents, ventilation, and the shingles themselves. When one of those layers is skipped, it shows up later as a leak, an ice dam or a roof that ages years too early.
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we install Owens Corning and CertainTeed shingles and match the product to your home, your budget and the weather Des Moines gets every year. Owner Omer Okic is involved from the first inspection to the final walkthrough, so the person who quoted your roof is the person who answers for it.

Roofing FAQs
When should I replace my roof instead of repairing it?
Replacement usually makes more sense when the roof is over 15 years old, the shingle damage is widespread, or there are leaks in several areas. If the damage is isolated, a repair is often all you need, and we'll tell you that.
How long does a roof replacement take in Des Moines?
Most residential replacements take 1 to 3 days depending on the size of the home and the weather. We plan installs around dry weather so your home isn't left open.
Will my new roof handle Iowa winters?
Yes. We build for freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams and heavy snow loads. Ice and water barrier at the eaves and valleys plus proper attic ventilation are the two biggest factors, and both are part of every roof we install.
Do I need to be home during installation?
Not for the whole project. We do recommend being there at the start and at the end for the walkthrough.
What happens to my old roof?
We remove and haul away all of the old materials. You won't have any debris or disposal to deal with.
Do you fix leaks or only replace roofs?
We do both. Many leak repairs are found and fixed on the first visit.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer financing options so you can spread the cost of a new roof or roof repair into manageable payments. We also accept cash, check and card. Ask about financing at your free estimate and we'll walk you through the options.
Do you offer free roof inspections and estimates?
Yes. Omer inspects your roof, shows you photos and gives you a written roof estimate if work is needed, all free. See free roof inspections.
