The Craft · Our Story

Learned on his father’s roof. Doing it his own way.

Christian grew up in his father’s roofing business. He learned the trade the only way you really can — on the ladder, on the roof, watching what shortcuts cost you three winters later.

In 2025 he broke off and started Patriot to run it his own way: slower, cleaner, and built on the kind of detail that most contractors in the Des Moines metro don’t bother with. No high-pressure quotes. No corner-cutting. Just the work, done the way his father would have done it.

Christian · Owner · Woodward, IA
The Work · What we do

Three trades. One standard.

Roofing, gutters, and insulation, all under one license. Same attention to detail on a 900 sqft attic as on a full roof replacement.

The Process · How we work

Four steps. No surprises.

Every job, every time
  1. 01
    Step one

    The walkthrough

    Christian walks the property with you, measures, and explains what he’s seeing. No sales script, no high-pressure quote, no “we can start tomorrow if you sign today.”

    Roof, gutters, attic — whatever the project, you get a straight-shooter assessment and a real conversation about what your home actually needs.

  2. 02
    Step two

    Written estimate

    Detailed line items, materials, labor, timeline, and warranty breakdown. Nothing in the fine print you didn’t talk through out loud first.

    Turnaround is 48 hours or less. If something about the estimate doesn’t make sense, you call Christian directly and he walks you through it.

  3. 03
    Step three

    The work

    Clean setup. Landscaping tarped. Magnet sweeps for nails. Daily cleanup so your driveway isn’t a construction zone for a week.

    You’ll know who’s on your property, when they’re arriving, and when the job is expected to wrap. Communication is not extra, it’s the standard.

  4. 04
    Step four

    The handoff

    Final walk with you, warranty paperwork, a gift basket on the counter, and Christian’s personal cell phone number.

    If something isn’t right a month from now, a year from now, or five winters from now, that number still gets answered. That’s the handoff.

The Calendar · When to call

Four seasons. Four calls.

Iowa weather writes its own work order. Here’s when most homeowners pick up the phone, and what we tend to do when they do. We work year-round either way.

Spring

The thaw shows what winter did. Inspections, insurance work, and anything the ice pulled off the edge.

  • Post-winter inspection
  • Hail and wind claims
  • Ice dam repair
  • Fascia and soffit
Mar · Apr · May
Booking 1-2 weeks out

Summer

Peak build window. Full tear-offs, full insulation overhauls, and the biggest jobs on the calendar run now.

  • Full roof replacement
  • Attic insulation upgrade
  • Ventilation and ridge
  • New-build roofs
Jun · Jul · Aug
Booking 4-8 weeks out

Fall

The pre-winter push. Gutters cleared, insulation topped up, anything loose locked down before snow lands.

  • Gutter cleaning and guards
  • Insulation top-up
  • Pre-winter roof check
  • Downspout extensions
Sep · Oct · Nov
Booking 2-4 weeks out

Winter

Emergency season. Leaks, ice dams, heat loss. Crews run through the cold when the forecast demands it.

  • Emergency leak response
  • Ice dam removal
  • Heat loss diagnostics
  • Thermal imaging
Dec · Jan · Feb
Response 24-72 hours

Off season? Still pick up the phone. Half our best insulation jobs happen when the neighbors aren’t thinking about it yet.

Recent Work · Case studies

Jobs. Not portfolios.

A handful of recent projects across the Des Moines metro. No staged drone shots, no filler. Just the work, what it was, and what went into it.

Case 01

Full Roof + Attic Insulation Upgrade

Granger, IASpring 2025

Full tear-off down to the deck, synthetic underlayment, GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles rated for 130 mph wind, and a complete attic blow to R-49 cellulose in the same visit. Homeowner had been chasing a recurring ice dam along the north eave. The combined approach closed it out.

Gutter Replacement + Downspout Redirect

Woodward, IASpring 2025

Drainage water had been flooding the homeowner’s side garden every storm. We diagnosed pitch issues and short downspouts as the cause. Re-hung the full north and east runs, extended downspouts ten feet clear of the foundation, re-graded one splash zone. No more flooding.
