Northgate Climate Flex Shingles: The Ultimate Defense Against Iowa Storms

At J. Bos Inc. Roofing Services, we understand that when it comes to protecting your home, one size does not fit all—especially in Iowa, where Mother Nature doesn’t pull any punches. National roofing brands often take a “one shingle fits all” approach, offering products that might work fine in mild climates but fall short when faced with our harsh Midwest weather. This is why we proudly offer CertainTeed’s Northgate Climate Flex Shingles, specifically designed to withstand Iowa’s toughest storms.

The Problem with Generic Shingles

Many big-name brands market shingles that are mass-produced for all climates, claiming long-lasting durability no matter where you live. But here’s the catch: these shingles are more affordable because they’re made with less material, sacrificing resilience for cost. While these shingles may boast a “lifetime warranty” in mild climates like California, we’ve seen them shredded after just one season in Iowa. With 70 mph winds, golf-ball-sized hail, and falling tree branches, Iowa’s weather demands more than just an average shingle.

Why Northgate Climate Flex Shingles are Different

Unlike generic shingles, Northgate Climate Flex Shingles are specifically engineered to handle the extreme weather conditions we experience in Iowa. These Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are manufactured with advanced polymer technology, giving them unmatched flexibility and strength. Here’s why they’re the ideal choice:

  1. Built for Impact: The Northgate Climate Flex Shingles are Class 4 impact-rated, the highest rating available. This means they’re tested to withstand the harsh impacts of hail—perfect for Iowa’s notorious spring and summer storms.
  2. High Wind Resistance: Unlike standard shingles, which can peel away or break apart in high winds, Northgate shingles are designed to stay put, even when the winds reach up to 130 mph. So when the next storm hits, you won’t have to worry about your roof being the first casualty.
  3. Flexible in Any Weather: The innovative design of these shingles means they can adapt to a wide range of temperatures without becoming brittle. They remain flexible in cold weather, reducing the risk of cracking—a common problem for standard shingles during Iowa’s unpredictable seasons.

Don’t Settle for “Good Enough”

When it comes to protecting your home, settling for a national brand’s “good enough” approach just won’t cut it in Iowa. At J. Bos Inc. Roofing Services, we know that the best defense against the elements is a shingle that’s made specifically for your environment. With Northgate Climate Flex Shingles, you get a product that’s tough enough to handle anything Iowa throws at it—hail, wind, snow, and everything in between.
