About Beckwith Commercial Roofing — Clinton, Iowa, Since 1982
Beckwith Commercial Roofing was founded in Clinton, Iowa by Jeff Beckwith with a simple scope: low-slope commercial and industrial roofs, done to spec, by our own people. Forty-four years later that is still the whole business.
About the company
We're a roofing contractor. Not a sales organization.
We serve Eastern Iowa, Western Illinois and the surrounding region within roughly 90 miles of Clinton — the Quad Cities, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Dubuque and the towns between. We are an authorized Duro-Last Platinum contractor, a sheet-metal fabricator, and we do not do residential work.
- Jeff Beckwith
- President. Founded the company in Clinton in 1982 and still runs it.
- Project leads
- Three people who each sell, survey, measure, order and manage their own jobs, averaging 24 years in commercial roofing. The one who walks your roof is the one who runs the project.
- Office
- Scheduling, documentation, warranty administration and the person who actually answers the phone.
How we work
Four things we hold ourselves to.
- 01
We don't push replacements
Most roofs are replaced before they need to be. If maintenance or repair is the right answer, that is what we recommend.
- 02
Two inspections before any warranty
Ours, then the manufacturer's. Every issue corrected first.
- 03
Our own crews
In-house Duro-Last crews averaging 20 years' experience.
- 04
Documented, verifiable
Photos, reports, scores and certificates — ask and we send them.
Duro-Last case study
92% of our 15-year roofs are still working 20–25 years later.
We pulled 120 Duro-Last roofs we installed between 2001 and 2006 and verified each with aerial imagery, permit records and site visits as of May 2026. 110 are still in service, five to ten years past warranty.
