Another Beautiful Roof Completed in Dubuque

Durango, Iowa is known for its rolling hills, beautiful views, and of course, Sundown Mountain Ski Resort. Perched high above Dubuque, homes in this area face some of the toughest weather conditions—strong winds, heavy snow, and summer storms. Recently, our team at Meeks Construction had the privilege of replacing the roof on a large home in this stunning location. Protecting a Home in a Challenging Environment While the views from this home are incredible, the elevated location means the roof takes the brunt of Iowa’s changing seasons. Over the years, the old roof had begun to wear down, leaving the home vulnerable to leaks and storm damage. Our team stepped in to provide a solution that would not only look great but also perform for decades to come. The Meeks Approach: For this project, we installed Owens Corning shingles—our trusted choice for strength, beauty, and long-term protection. Along with upgraded underlayment and flashing, the home’s new roofing system was designed to handle whatever Iowa weather can throw at it. We focus on more than just shingles. Every nail, every seam, and every flashing detail is critical when protecting a home in such a weather-exposed area. That’s why our crew took the time to ensure this Durango home’s roof wasn’t just replaced—it was upgraded. The Result: Lasting Protection with Lasting Beauty The new roof complements the home’s exterior and enhances its curb appeal while giving the homeowners peace of mind. With strong warranties and materials built to last, they can now enjoy their home’s breathtaking views without worrying about what’s happening overhead.

Sometimes, the most serious home issues are the ones you don’t notice right away. That was the case with a recent roofing project we completed in Dubuque. From the outside, the roof looked like it had simply reached the end of its lifespan. But once we began removing the old shingles, we uncovered a hidden leak that had been slowly causing damage beneath the surface. The Hidden Danger of Roof Leaks Roof leaks aren’t always obvious. Water can seep in around vents, flashing, or worn-out shingles, traveling through layers of roofing material before showing up inside. By the time a homeowner notices stains on ceilings or walls, the damage may already be widespread. On this project, the insulation underneath the old roof had gotten wet and discolored, a clear sign of water intrusion that had gone unnoticed for some time. If left untreated, issues like this can lead to mold, structural damage, and costly repairs. A Fresh Start With a New Roof The good news? A new roof doesn’t just fix the visible problem—it gives the entire home a fresh start. For this Dubuque home, we installed durable Owens Corning shingles designed to handle Iowa’s toughest storms, along with upgraded underlayment and flashing to prevent future leaks. The result: a clean, beautiful roof that not only boosts curb appeal but also ensures the home is watertight and protected for years to come.

There’s nothing like the transformation that comes with a brand-new roof—and this recent project in one of Dubuque’s beautiful neighborhoods is proof. Our team installed Owens Corning shingles, chosen for their strength, durability, and timeless style. The subtle blend of colors complements the brick exterior perfectly, adding curb appeal while ensuring the home is protected for decades to come. From the first tear-off to the final ridge cap, every detail was completed with precision. Beyond looks, this roof is built to perform—backed by industry-leading warranties and weather-resistant technology designed to handle Iowa’s toughest storms. At Meeks Construction, we believe your home deserves both protection and beauty. This Dubuque project is just one example of how the right materials, expert installation, and attention to detail can completely elevate a home.

At Meeks Construction, we take pride in protecting Iowa homes—no matter the shape, size, or complexity. One of our recent projects took us to Coralville, where we completed a full shingle roof replacement on a duplex, delivering a clean, durable finish that’s built to withstand anything Iowa weather throws its way. 🏠 Why it Mattered: This duplex had seen years of wear. With two connected units and a shared roofline, it was critical to ensure every detail lined up perfectly—from valley flashing to ridge vents. Our team coordinated carefully to minimize disruption to the residents while ensuring both sides received the same level of attention and quality. 🔨 What We Installed: We used architectural shingles for their sleek look and long-term durability. The color was hand-picked to match the property’s siding and neighborhood aesthetic—an upgrade that not only performs but adds curb appeal. ☁️ Built for Iowa Weather: Coralville sees it all—sun, wind, hail, snow. This roof is ready for it. We made sure everything from the decking to the final ridge cap was sealed, secure, and up to code, ensuring protection for years to come. 🙌 Another Satisfied Client: We’re always humbled when homeowners choose us for something as important as their roof. Projects like this remind us why we do what we do—helping neighbors feel safe, confident, and proud of their homes.
