A leaking roof doesn’t wait, and neither should you.

We’ve served homeowners throughout this region who’ve experienced the same frustration and urgency. Your roof replacement is an investment in your home’s safety and your family’s comfort. Let’s start with a straightforward conversation about what’s happening with your roof and what it will take to fix it.
Replace Your Roof with Systems Built for Des Moines Weather
A roof replacement involves removing your existing roofing system down to the deck, inspecting the structure for damage, and installing a complete new roof designed to last decades. In Des Moines and the surrounding areas of Clive, Ankeny, Waukee, Johnston, Urbandale, and West Des Moines, roofs face intense freeze-thaw cycles throughout winter, severe thunderstorms in spring and summer, and temperature swings that cause materials to expand and contract. These conditions accelerate wear on shingles, flashing, and underlayment, often making replacement the only option for long-term protection.
Our process begins with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of damage and identify any structural issues that must be addressed before installation. We then remove the old roofing materials, inspect and repair the roof deck if needed, and prepare the surface for the new system. A quality underlayment is installed to provide a waterproof barrier, followed by new shingles, flashing around chimneys and vents, and proper ventilation components to prevent moisture buildup. Every step is planned to ensure your new roof can handle Iowa’s weather extremes.
Homeowners throughout the Des Moines metro choose full replacement when they notice granule loss, curling shingles, frequent leaks, or a roof approaching 20 years of age. Spring and fall are the busiest seasons for roofing work in this region, as homeowners address damage from winter ice or prepare for the next storm season. We work year-round to accommodate your schedule and ensure your home stays protected regardless of when issues arise.

Your Questions About Roofing Replacement Answered
Homeowners throughout Des Moines and neighboring communities like Clive, Ankeny, Waukee, Johnston, Urbandale, and West Des Moines often ask the same questions when facing a roofing replacement decision. The uncertainty around timing, cost, and whether replacement is truly necessary can delay action, even when a roof is actively failing. Understanding what to expect and how to recognize the signs that repair is no longer an option helps you make an informed decision and avoid further damage.
We’ve worked on homes near Gray’s Lake, along Grand Avenue, in the historic Sherman Hill neighborhood, and across the western suburbs, and the concerns are consistent. Homeowners want to know how long the project will take, whether their new roof will hold up through Iowa winters, and what the process looks like from start to finish. These are practical questions that deserve clear, straightforward answers. Below, we address the most common questions about roofing replacement so you can move forward with confidence.

If your roof is over 15 years old, has widespread shingle damage, or you’re experiencing leaks in multiple areas, replacement is usually the better investment. Repairs make sense for isolated damage, but when problems appear across the entire roof, patching becomes a cycle of temporary fixes. A full roofing replacement provides decades of protection and often costs less in the long run than repeated repair calls.
