Hopkins Roofing completed a total replacement of the Iowa Events Center roof for OVG360 in downtown Des Moines. With its age and exposure to various weather conditions, the old roof leaked in many areas and could no longer provide consistent protection from the elements. In April 2021, Hopkins Roofing partnered with Polk County to remove the existing roof deck and install more than 173,000 square feet of new insulation, vapor barrier, and roofing membrane, complete with metal flashing and trim.

“Hopkins has been a valued partner with the Iowa Events Center. In a time of labor shortages and supply chain delays, they have found a way to deliver. Dave and his team are knowledgeable and relentless on solving issues that arise and are responsive when you need them to be. Hopkins has been competitive with pricing and resourceful with finding high quality materials. We look forward to a continued partnership with them on current projects,” Harold Peterson, Director of Operations, Iowa Events Center said in a statement.

Installation of the new roof was complete as of May 2022.

“Completing the reroof of the Iowa Events Center was a huge accomplishment for the Hopkins Roofing team! The project was complex and very high-profile, and I’m so proud of our company for making it happen. Special thanks to Jason Smith at Iowa Events for being so great to work with as we encountered challenges along the way, and thanks to Shive Hattery for their awesome support throughout the project. This new roof will serve the Iowa Events Center and Polk County well, and we are honored to be a small part of the upkeep for such a great facility that all Iowans can be proud of,” said Roger DeWaard, Hopkins Roofing CEO.

Hopkins Roofing would like to thank the staff at Iowa Events Center for being so accommodating and gracious to work with.
