When your roof reaches the end of its life, a full replacement is one of the most important investments you'll make in your home. At Passion Exteriors, we install complete Owens Corning roofing systems for homeowners across Eastern Iowa and Illinois, from Cedar Rapids to Dubuque and the surrounding communities. As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor with a strong track record of completed projects across the Dubuque area, we know how Iowa's freeze-thaw winters, spring hail, and summer wind storms wear a roof down. This page walks you through when replacement makes more sense than repair, exactly what we install, how our process works, what drives the cost, and how your warranty protects you.
A well-timed roof repair can extend the life of a sound roof, but there comes a point where patching stops paying off. Consider a full replacement when you notice:
If you're unsure which route is right, our free inspection settles it. We'll document the condition of your roof in writing and give you an honest recommendation, not a hard sell.
Many contractors quote a re-roof as shingles over old material. We install the complete Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System, engineered so every component works together. That starts with a full tear-off down to the deck so we can inspect and replace any rotted or damaged wood before anything new goes on. From there we build the roof up in layers:

We keep the experience straightforward. First, we schedule your free inspection and provide a written estimate that spells out the system and scope. Once you approve, we handle material selection and set a start date. On installation day, our crew protects your landscaping, completes the tear-off, replaces any bad decking, and installs the full system. We finish with a thorough cleanup and magnetic nail sweep, then a final walkthrough so you know the job was done right. With an experienced, licensed, bonded, and insured crew, your project is in steady hands.
Every roof is different, so we price each one on its specifics rather than a flat rate. The main factors are the size (square footage) of your roof, its pitch and complexity, how many existing layers must be torn off, the condition of the decking underneath, and the materials you choose. A steeper, cut-up roof with multiple layers takes more labor and material than a simple single-story ranch. Because a new roof is a significant investment, we offer financing that lets you spread the cost into manageable monthly payments instead of paying all at once.
Because we're an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor installing the complete Total Protection Roofing System, your roof is backed by strong manufacturer coverage on the components, layered with our workmanship. Installing the full system, rather than shingles alone, is what unlocks that stronger protection and gives you real peace of mind for years to come.
How long does a roof replacement take? Most homes are completed in one to two days, depending on the size, pitch, and complexity of the roof and the weather. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your written estimate.
Do you help with storm and hail damage? Yes. We inspect the roof and document any storm damage in writing, so you have a clear record. You file and manage the claim directly with your insurer, and we focus on documenting the damage and installing a quality roof.
Is a full tear-off really necessary? In most cases, yes. Tearing off to the deck lets us find and replace hidden rot, install a proper ice-and-water and underlayment base, and give you the full system warranty, none of which is possible when you simply layer new shingles over old.
Which areas do you serve? We serve Eastern Iowa and Illinois, including Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, and surrounding communities from our Cedar Rapids headquarters.
