At A Glance
The short version, for anyone comparing Central Iowa roofers.
Grimes homes
Grimes has grown fast, so most homes here are on original builder shingles from the 2000s and 2010s. See our full Grimes roofing contractor page for the neighborhood-by-neighborhood picture.
Pipe boots, flashing and nail pops are the usual culprits on Grimes' newer homes. We trace the leak and fix the cause.
Grimes took two-inch hail on July 14, 2020 and sits in the path of every metro storm. We photograph every slope and give you a written report.
When builder-grade shingles reach twenty years, we tear off, check the decking and install architectural, Class 4 or metal.
The same crew handles seamless gutters and siding, so the whole exterior goes back together at once.
Simple & transparent
Tell us what you are seeing, at home or at the building.
We get on the roof, usually the same or next day in Grimes, and photograph what we find.
Photos, a clear diagnosis and an honest repair-or-replace answer.
A written price with no surprise add-ons later.
We fix it properly, review the work with you and clean the site.
Grimes businesses
Grimes' shops, warehouses, churches and multi-family buildings mostly run flat or low-slope roofs, which fail at the seams, the flashing and the drains long before the membrane itself wears out. We find the leak, repair it properly, and set up a maintenance plan so it does not come back before your busiest week.
Check this from the ground
For homes, look at the roof against the light on a bright morning. For buildings, look at the ceiling tiles after a hard rain.
Dark or shiny patches where granules blew off, curling tabs, a creased ridge after wind, ceiling stains, granules at the downspout.
Stained ceiling tiles, ponding water two days after rain, blisters or open seams in the membrane, rust at the flashing, debris at the drains.
Builder-grade shingles last 20 to 25 years in Iowa; single-ply membranes 20 to 30 depending on maintenance. Original roofs on 2000s buildings are due for a look.
Grimes is on the northwest edge of the metro where storms arrive first. A free inspection after hail is the cheapest insurance there is.
Straight numbers
Typical Central Iowa planning ranges, not a quote. The inspection and the written estimate are free.
| Repair | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Residential pipe boot or flashing reseal | $150 – $450 | The most common leak on newer Grimes homes |
| Residential wind or hail repair, one slope | $500 – $3,000 | Depends on slope, access and shingle match |
| Residential full replacement | See the cost guide | Architectural, Class 4 or metal |
| Commercial leak repair, seam or flashing | $400 – $2,500 | TPO, EPDM or metal; includes leak tracing |
| Commercial coating or restoration | $3 – $8 per sq ft | When the membrane is sound but aging |
| Commercial re-roof, TPO or EPDM | $6 – $12 per sq ft | Depends on insulation, tear-off and drains |
Ranges reflect what we commonly see across the Des Moines metro. Steep pitch, multiple layers, insulation and hard access move the number. Financing is available for larger projects.

Commercial seam and flashing repairs typically run a few hundred to a couple of thousand. Larger work and full replacements are quoted after a free inspection with photos.
Yes. Grimes took two-inch hail on July 14, 2020 and sits in the path of every northwest-metro storm. Hail bruises shingles without breaking them, and wind creases ridge caps on brand-new roofs. A free inspection settles it.
Yes. A scheduled inspection each spring and fall, with drains cleared, seams checked and a photo report each visit, catches small problems before they close your doors. Ask for the plan when we do the free assessment.
Most Iowa homeowners and commercial property policies cover sudden storm, hail and wind damage, but that is a question for your insurer. We document everything with photos and a written estimate so you have clear records to share with them.
Iowa homeowners policies commonly set a reporting window, often twelve months from the storm date, so an older event may fall outside it while a recent one does not. That is a question for your insurer; the Iowa Insurance Division's guidance at iid.iowa.gov explains the basics. Our job is to get the damage documented quickly and clearly.
Yes. For active leaks we prioritize same-day tarp and secure, and Grimes is first in line because it is home. See our emergency roof repair page or call (515) 313-7355.
We do. Hutch Unlimited works with Acorn Finance so you can spread the cost rather than paying in one hit. See our financing page for the options, and ask about it when you book the free inspection.
Yes. Hutch Unlimited LLC has been headquartered at 2407 NE 12th St in Grimes since 2021. Owner Scott lives and works here, inspects the roof himself and is the person who answers the phone.
