Roofing in Des Moines

What's local about a Des Moines roof.

Des Moines sits in the middle of Iowa's storm belt. Roofs here take spring hail and the fast straight-line winds Iowa calls a derecho.

Main threat Hail and tornado
Busiest window Hail season, March-June
Areas covered West Des Moines, Ankeny, Urbandale, Ames, Waukee, and the Des Moines metro area

Hail bruises and cracks shingles even when the roof still "looks fine" from the ground - which is why so many Des Moines claims are missed without a proper inspection.

Hire with confidence

How to hire a great roofer in Des Moines.

Six steps that keep Des Moines, IA homeowners out of trouble - especially after a storm, when out-of-town crews flood in.

  1. 01

    Verify the license and insurance

    Check the state license board and ask for a certificate of insurance - general liability and workers’ comp. In Des Moines, this is the single biggest thing that separates a real roofer from a storm-chaser.

  2. 02

    Read the reviews - and the BBB

    Look past the star rating: read recent reviews, check how they respond to complaints, and confirm the Better Business Bureau record. Volume and recency matter as much as the number.

  3. 03

    Ask for local references and recent jobs

    A great Des Moines roofer can point to nearby homes they’ve done in the last year. Local track record beats a slick pitch.

  4. 04

    Get it in writing

    Get a written, itemized quote - materials, tear-off, decking, cleanup - before any work starts. No verbal deals, no surprise bills.

  5. 05

    Confirm the warranty

    Ask for a written workmanship warranty (10+ years is strong) on top of the manufacturer’s material warranty - and make sure the manufacturer certification is real.

  6. 06

    Never pay in full up front

    A deposit is normal; paying the whole job before it’s done is a red flag. Tie payments to real milestones.

Before you sign

Questions to ask a Des Moines roofer.

  • Are you licensed and insured in this state - can I see proof?
  • How long have you been roofing in the Des Moines area?
  • Are you certified by the shingle manufacturer (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed)?
  • What workmanship warranty do you offer, in writing?
  • Will you handle the insurance claim and meet the adjuster?
  • Who’s the crew - your employees or subcontractors?
  • What happens if you find rotten decking once the old roof is off?
  • Can you share recent Des Moines references I can call?
Built for Des Moines weather

Best roofing for Des Moines.

Your roof fights hail and tornado here. These hold up best - and this is when to do the work.

Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles

Rated to take a hail hit without cracking - and many insurers in this market cut your premium for them.

Metal roofing

Standing seam and stone-coated steel shrug off hail and last 2-3× longer than standard shingle.

Architectural asphalt shingles

The value pick - heavier and tougher than 3-tab, with better wind and impact ratings.

When to replace: In Des Moines, hail season runs roughly March through June, so late summer and fall are the calmest, best-priced times to replace a roof. If a spring storm hits, get an inspection fast - the best local crews book up within days.
