Reliable Roofing Solutions
Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the unpredictable Iowa weather. At Banowetz Lumber & Hardware, we provide the high-performance materials necessary to build a roof that is as durable as it is beautiful. For traditional asphalt solutions, we carry industry leaders GAF, CertainTeed, and Malarkey, offering a range of shingles known for their exceptional wind and impact resistance. If your project calls for the longevity of steel, our metal roofing selection from Central States, Metal Sales, and Metal Wholesale provides professional-grade panels and trim for residential, agricultural, and commercial builds.
A long-lasting roof requires more than just shingles or steel; it requires a complete system. We stock Tyvek high-performance underlayments to provide a critical moisture barrier, along with Lomanco ventilation systems to ensure proper attic airflow, preventing heat and moisture buildup. Whether you are a contractor framing a new build or a homeowner replacing a storm-damaged roof, Banowetz Lumber & Hardware has the local expertise and premium inventory to protect your investment from the top down.

Certainteed
CertainTeed specializes in comprehensive roofing systems designed for maximum performance, durability, and curb appeal. Their extensive line of asphalt shingles includes popular styles like the Landmark® Series, offering a classic, dimensional look with the heavy-duty construction of a dual-layer shingle for enhanced wind and hail resistance. For homeowners seeking a premium aesthetic, the Presidential Shake® and Grand Manor® lines provide the luxurious, sculpted appearance of old-world wood shakes or natural slate with the advanced protection of modern asphalt. CertainTeed’s products are engineered with innovative technologies like StreakFighter® to resist algae growth and SureStart™ warranties, ensuring long-term peace of mind and superior protection against the elements.
GAF®: Integrated Protection and Wind Resistance
GAF roofing systems are engineered for comprehensive protection, focusing on high-performance adhesive technology that locks shingles firmly in place. Their products feature a wide “strike zone” designed for more accurate fastening, ensuring that the roof remains secure even during high-wind events. By utilizing a multi-layered construction, these shingles provide a classic architectural look while offering a rugged barrier against UV degradation and moisture.
Malarkey Roofing Products®: Polymer-Modified Asphalt and Impact Durability
Malarkey specializes in shingles crafted with rubberized asphalt, which provides a high degree of flexibility and “shingle memory.” This allows the material to expand and contract through Iowa’s extreme temperature swings without cracking or becoming brittle. Additionally, the inclusion of upcycled polymers enhances granule adhesion, which significantly improves the roof’s resistance to hail damage and premature aging.
Central States Manufacturing: Structural Integrity and Siphon-Leak Protection
Central States panels are defined by their precision rib profiles and advanced coating systems. A key characteristic of their design is the integrated siphon groove, which breaks the capillary action of water to prevent leaks at the laps. These metal systems offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, making them an excellent choice for long-span agricultural buildings and low-maintenance residential metal roofing.
Metal Sales™: Thermal Reflectivity and Profile Versatility
Metal Sales provides a vast array of profiles, from concealed-fastener standing seam to traditional corrugated panels, all engineered for maximum environmental efficiency. Their coatings are formulated with high solar reflectance, which helps lower attic temperatures by reflecting heat away from the building. This makes their metal systems an ideal solution for improving the overall energy envelope and reducing cooling costs for homes or shops.
Metal Wholesale: Customized Fastening and Trim Solutions
Metal Wholesale focuses on the critical components that ensure a watertight, professional finish. By providing specialized trim, flashings, and color-matched fasteners, they allow for a seamless transition between roof planes, gables, and wall panels. Their products are designed for precision fitment, reducing the need for field modifications and ensuring a clean, streamlined appearance for the entire structure.
Lomanco®: Balanced Airflow and Moisture Control
Lomanco specializes in attic ventilation hardware that manages the delicate balance between intake and exhaust air. Their vents are designed to eliminate “dead air” pockets, which reduces the risk of mold growth and the formation of ice dams in the winter. By utilizing weather-tested baffles, Lomanco products allow for maximum airflow while preventing rain or snow from being driven into the attic space.
Tyvek® (DuPont™): High-Traction Moisture Barriers
Tyvek roofing underlayments are characterized by their unique non-woven structure, which offers superior tear strength compared to traditional felt paper. The material is engineered with a high-friction surface to improve worker stability and safety during installation. Beyond safety, it acts as a highly effective secondary water barrier that remains stable under shingles, even when exposed to extreme heat or freezing temperatures.
