Our commercial roofing services
Commercial and industrial roofing. Nothing residential.
For plant managers, facility directors and owners of manufacturing, warehousing, healthcare, education and food-processing buildings.
Roof replacement
Full tear-off or recover for flat and low-slope roofs. Duro-Last single-ply and standing-seam metal.
02Roof repair
Leak diagnosis and permanent repair on occupied buildings — most of the calls we take are active leaks.
03Preventative maintenance
Inspections, drainage clearing and small repairs. Most roofs are replaced before they need to be — we'd rather not add to that.
04Rooftop fall protection
Roof Safety Audits, then guardrail, anchors, walkways and hatch rails — installed and flashed by roofers so the warranty holds.
05Roofing systems
Duro-Last PVC, metal retrofit, standing-seam panels and industrial gutters roll-formed on site.
06Metal fabrication
Our own sheet-metal shop and on-site roll forming: edge metal, coping, curbs, standing seam panels, industrial gutters.
How a replacement works
Four steps. Two inspections before any warranty is issued.
We don't push replacements. Most roofs are replaced before they need to be; step one is finding out whether yours is one of them.
- 01 · Day 1
Site survey & core cuts
We walk the roof, cut cores to see what's under the membrane, and photograph every drain, curb and penetration.
- 02 · Within 1 week
Fixed-scope proposal
Repair, recover or replace — with the case for each. Duro-Last sections are measured to your roof before they ship.
- 03 · 2–4 weeks on site
Install around your operation
In-house crews averaging 20 years' experience. No tar kettles, no noxious fumes; your facility keeps running.
- 04 · Warranty issued
Two formal inspections
One by us, one by the manufacturer. Every issue, however small, is corrected before the warranty is issued.
Where we've worked
1,900+ Duro-Last roofs within 90 miles of Clinton.
Odds are we've already roofed a building near yours — ADM, SSAB, University of Iowa, Mercy Medical, Valspar and Iowa-American Water among them.

Duro-Last case study
We went back and checked 120 of our own roofs, 20–25 years later. Nobody else publishes this.
- The claim
- Owners are told a 15-year roof is a 15-year roof. Most are replaced before they need to be. Nobody publishes what actually happens after the warranty ends.
- The check
- Every Duro-Last roof we installed 2001–2006 — 120, all warrantied as 15-year systems — verified with aerial imagery, permit records and site visits as of May 2026.
- The result
- 110 of 120 still in service, five to ten years past warranty. That is what installing to spec with in-house crews averaging 20 years' experience looks like two decades on.

Commercial roofing questions
Do you do residential roofing?
No. We are commercial and industrial only, and have been since 1982.
How fast can you get to an active leak?
Anywhere in our service area, generally within 0 to 2 business days. Call (563) 242-6939.
How long does a replacement take?
A typical 5,000–10,000 sq ft Duro-Last roof replacement runs one week. Higher square footages and rooftop density can take weeks to months. All of our projects are estimated down to the hour, so we can give you a more accurate timeline after estimating your roof.
How long should a commercial roof last?
With proper installation and maintenance, 20 to 30 years or more. Of the 120 fifteen-year Duro-Last roofs we installed 2001–2006, 92% are still in service in 2026.
Can you meet our site-access and safety requirements?
Almost certainly: ISNetworld, Avetta and GateFeed active; DISA-screened crews; EMR 0.76; $1M liability plus $5M umbrella. Documents sent the same day you ask.
