Cost indexes barely move across this corridor, so the ranges above track each other — what separates these markets is supply and storm exposure. Iowa City, the closest at about 50 miles, lists 23 contractors against Davenport's 29, and its county logged 68 hail events to Davenport's 101 over the same decade. A quote that ignores those local factors deserves a follow-up question.

Hail History in Davenport — and What It Means for Your Roof Budget
NOAA Storm Events data shows 101 hail events in Davenport's county over the last 10 years, with hail up to 4.00″ (most recent on record: 2024-10-24). Stones that size punch through shingles rather than bruise them. At 101 events in a decade, Davenport roofs live on an insurance cycle: quotes here should price impact-resistant Class 4 shingles (10–20% more upfront, often offset by an insurer premium discount) and you should know your wind/hail deductible before the next storm, not after.
