Commercial systems we install
Which commercial roof system is right for your building?
Most Des Moines commercial buildings run flat or low-slope roofs, which need very different systems than a residential shingle roof. We spec the material to your building, budget and how long you plan to own it.
TPO roofing
Heat-welded single-ply TPO is the go-to for Iowa warehouses, retail and office roofs. The bright reflective surface cuts summer cooling costs and stands up to UV, hail and freeze-thaw.
EPDM rubber
Durable EPDM membrane is a proven, cost-effective flat-roof system for older commercial buildings and multi-family properties, with excellent flexibility in Central Iowa's temperature swings.
Commercial metal
Standing seam and metal panel systems for churches, agricultural buildings and modern commercial designs, with 40-plus year lifespans and derecho-grade wind ratings.
Coatings & restoration
Elastomeric and silicone coatings over a sound existing roof add years of life, stop minor leaks and improve reflectivity at a fraction of re-roof cost.

Stop small leaks early
Why do commercial roofs fail, and how do we stop it before it closes your doors?
Flat roofs rarely fail across the whole membrane. They fail at the seams, the flashing around units and curbs, and the drains, usually after ponding water or a storm. A leak that starts as a stained ceiling tile ends as ruined inventory, a closed dining room or a tenant complaint. Twice-a-year inspections with photos catch the small stuff for a few hundred dollars instead of tens of thousands.

Answers before you call
Commercial roofing questions, answered
How much does a commercial roof cost in Des Moines?
TPO and EPDM re-roofs typically land between $5 and $12 per square foot installed, depending on insulation, tear-off and drains; commercial metal runs higher and lasts longer. Coatings over a sound roof cost a fraction of that. The assessment and the written proposal are free.
TPO or EPDM — which is better for an Iowa building?
TPO's white reflective surface cuts summer cooling costs and its heat-welded seams are very strong, which suits most warehouses and retail. EPDM is cost-effective, flexible in cold and proven on older buildings. We spec to your building, budget and how long you plan to own it.
Can you keep my business open during the work?
Yes. We plan the schedule around your hours, phase larger roofs, stage materials away from entrances and coordinate access so your day-to-day operations keep running throughout the project.
Can you document commercial storm and hail damage?
Yes. Central Iowa gets serious hail and wind, and we help commercial property owners document damage and photograph conditions, with a written report and estimate you can share with your insurance company, so your roof is properly restored.
Do you offer a maintenance plan?
Yes. A scheduled inspection each spring and fall, with drains cleared, seams and flashing checked and a photo report each visit, catches small problems before they close your doors and is usually a condition of a membrane warranty.
How long does a commercial re-roof take?
A typical 10,000 square foot TPO or EPDM re-roof takes one to two weeks depending on tear-off and weather. Larger roofs are phased so the building stays dry between phases. You get the schedule with the written proposal.
Can you coat my roof instead of replacing it?
If the membrane or metal is sound and the insulation is dry, yes. A coating adds ten or more years for a fraction of re-roof cost. If the roof has saturated insulation or widespread seam failure, coating is money wasted, and we will tell you so.
Do you repair commercial roofs in an emergency?
Yes. Leak detection and emergency patching on TPO, EPDM and metal roofs are prioritized. See our emergency roof repair page or call (515) 313-7355.
Do you offer financing for commercial roofing?
Financing options are available for larger re-roofs. Ask when we do the free assessment and we will walk you through them.
Is Hutch Unlimited a local company or a storm chaser?
Local. Hutch Unlimited LLC is BBB A+ accredited and has been locally owned in Grimes, on the northwest edge of the Des Moines metro, since 2021. Owner Scott inspects the roof himself and is the person who answers the phone, before the job and after it. We will still be here next spring, which is the question worth asking any roofer who shows up after a storm.
Still have a question? Call (515) 313-7355. Mon–Fri 8:00–18:00, Sat 8:00–12:00.
