Roofing, Siding & Exterior Contractor in Des Moines, IA
From Beaverdale bungalows off Beaver Avenue to the homes around Drake and Ingersoll, we roof, side and re-window Des Moines houses with the care older homes need.
Older Homes, Done the Right Way
Des Moines is our home base, and its housing stock is about as varied as it gets in Iowa.
Beaverdale's brick homes from the 1920s through the 1940s, the Victorian houses of Sherman Hill, the homes around Drake University and the South Side's long-standing neighborhoods all have their own quirks: steep roof pitches, older flashing details, original wood windows and siding that has been patched over the years. We take the time to do those houses right instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
Older Des Moines houses hide things. Tear off a roof in Beaverdale and you might find two layers of shingles, board decking with gaps, or a chimney flashed with tar. We price for what's likely under there and tell you up front, so a surprise doesn't turn into a fight over the bill.
You'll see our truck all over town, from Beaver Avenue and Ingersoll Avenue to the neighborhoods off Fleur Drive near Gray's Lake.

Where Your Money Matters on a Des Moines Home
Omer would rather tell you what's worth paying for than sell you everything. Here's what he usually tells Des Moines homeowners:
- A real tear-offRe-covering an old roof saves a little now and shortens the life of the new one. On older homes we tear off to the deck.
- Flashing and chimneysMost leaks in older homes start at chimneys, walls and valleys, not the shingles. That's where we spend the time.
- Windows that fit the houseOriginal openings are rarely square. Custom-sized replacements keep the look and stop the drafts.

Des Moines FAQs
Can you work on older and historic homes in Des Moines?
Yes. A lot of our Des Moines work is on homes from the 1920s through the 1960s. We plan for steeper roofs, old decking and out-of-square window openings, and we explain what we find before we fix it.
Do I need to tear off my old roof or can you shingle over it?
On most older Des Moines homes we recommend a full tear-off. It lets us check and repair the decking and flashing, and a second layer of shingles shortens the life of the new roof.
