Roofing Services in Iowa City & Cedar Rapids
As an experienced roofer serving Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, Casper Builders installs and repairs residential roofing using asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and single-ply membranes. Iowa’s extreme weather demands materials and installation quality that withstand freeze-thaw cycles, high winds, and hail.
Roof Repair
We handle roof repair for missing or cracked shingles, flashing failures, leak points, and storm damage. We assess the full roof and give you a straight report on what needs attention now versus what can wait.
Roof Installation
Our roof installation process covers full tear-off, decking inspection, and installation to manufacturer specs. We work with shingles, metal, single-ply, and bitumen systems depending on your roof pitch, budget, and performance needs.
Carpenter in Iowa City & Cedar Rapids
Carpentry is a skilled trade that runs through nearly every part of a home. We provide general carpentry services, including structural framing, trim work, cabinet installation, and door and window fitting. Our carpenters work alongside masonry crews and flooring technicians on larger jobs and handle standalone carpentry work just as well.
Tile Work
Casper Builders handles residential tile work for tile flooring, walls, showers, and backsplashes. We work with ceramic, stone, glass, and metal tile, matching the material to the application. We prep the surface, set the tile level, grout cleanly, and seal where needed.
Flooring Repair and Installation
We install and repair carpet, laminate, vinyl, wood, stone, and tile throughout Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. Before any flooring installation begins, we assess the subfloor for levelness, moisture, and integrity, because bad subfloor conditions ruin good flooring materials. If the subfloor needs work, we handle that first. We also install noise insulation underlayment where sound transmission is a concern.
Home Structural Repair
Casper Builders handles residential structural repairs and renovations for homeowners across eastern Iowa, addressing problems before they grow into larger failures.
House Interior Structural Repair
We address sagging floors, bowing walls, wood structure repair, and structural framing corrections after water damage or poor prior work. We also handle crawl space and basement repairs, including beam replacement and moisture remediation.
House Exterior Structural Repair
Exterior structural repairs include foundation repair, foundation leveling, pier and beam foundation repair, and slab foundation repair. We also handle wall cracks, drainage correction, and trim and molding installation to restore exterior surfaces after structural work is complete. Structural failures and foundation failures rarely stay small. A minor wall crack or unlevel floor can be an early sign of a larger problem, and catching it early keeps repair costs manageable.
Residential Drywall Installation and Repair
We hang sheet rock (gypsum board) over wall studs, tape seams with joint tape or mesh fiber, apply drywall compound, and sand to a smooth finish. For repairs, we fill holes with putty, patch sections affected by moisture damage or physical damage, match the existing texture through retexturing, and finish with repainting. We handle drywall for new construction, basement finishing, and post-leak repairs.
Siding
Casper Builders installs, repairs, and replaces residential siding across Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. The most common options we work with include vinyl (plastic siding) for durability and low maintenance, composite siding for a natural look with better rot resistance, metal siding for long-term weather performance, and insulated siding for added energy efficiency. We also work with wood siding and clapboards where the project calls for it.
House Demolition
We manage residential demolition from planning through site cleanup. Before tearing down any structures or houses, we secure the necessary permits, handle utility disconnection, and assess for hazardous or regulated materials. When asbestos is present, we coordinate asbestos abatement before work begins. We use excavators and bulldozers suited to the job, separate demolition waste for recycling where possible, and minimize what goes to landfills. Deconstruction is an option when material salvage makes sense.
