North Liberty grew from roughly 13,000 people in 2010 to more than 20,000 by the 2020 census — growth you can read right off its rooflines, with whole new neighborhoods alongside an Old Town core that goes back generations. Passion Exteriors is a family-owned roofing, siding, and gutter company based a short drive up I-380 in Cedar Rapids, serving North Liberty and the rest of Johnson County with honest inspections, straight pricing, and work we put our name on.
North Liberty's housing stock tells two stories. Around Old Town, ranch and bi-level homes date from the early 1900s through the 1990s, and many of those roofs are at or near the end of their service life. In newer subdivisions like Arlington Ridge, Fox Run, Penn Meadows, and Scanlon Farms, roofs went on fast during construction booms, and a shingle chosen for speed and price fifteen years ago isn't the same as a roofing system selected for Iowa hail, wind, and freeze-thaw winters. Either way, the starting point is the same: a free inspection and a written estimate, not a sales pitch.
The August 10, 2020 derecho is the storm everyone remembers — wind gusts in North Liberty stayed above 60 mph for roughly an hour, part of a storm that did over $12 billion in damage across Iowa. It wasn't a one-off. On May 7, 2023, severe thunderstorms pushed 70 mph gusts and quarter-size hail through the area. Storms like these bruise shingles and lift edges in ways you can't see from the driveway, so we recommend a professional inspection after any major hail or wind event.
If we find damage, we document it with photos and a written report. You decide whether to file, and you manage the claim with your insurer; if your adjuster wants to see the damage firsthand, we'll meet them on-site and walk through what the roof needs.
After every big hail event, out-of-town crews work the I-380 corridor knocking on doors — and once the checks clear, they're gone. We're based in Cedar Rapids, twenty-some minutes up the interstate, and we work in North Liberty, Coralville, and Iowa City year-round. If your roof needs a warranty call in three years, you'll reach the same company at the same number.
How long should a roof last in North Liberty? An architectural shingle roof typically lasts 20 to 30 years here, but hail and high wind can shorten that. If yours went on during the 2000s-2010s building boom, it's worth an inspection even before it leaks.
Do you charge for inspections? No. Inspections and written estimates are free, whether you're in Old Town or a newer subdivision off Highway 965 and Penn Street. Call (319) 536-1924 to schedule.
