At a glance
The short version, for Des Moines homeowners comparing roofers.
Signs you need a roof replacement in Des Moines
Most Des Moines roofs fail the same handful of ways. If you spot two or more of these on your home, get eyes on it — a free inspection takes less than an hour.
Builder-grade shingles typically last 20 to 25 years in Iowa. If your Des Moines roof is original to a home built before 2005, it is in the replacement window — even with no leaks yet.
Tabs curling at the corners or whole courses lifting in the wind mean the shingles are failing across the roof, not just in one spot.
Water stains, drips or damp attic insulation that keep coming back. When repairs stop holding, a full replacement is the honest answer.
Bruised shingles, creased ridge caps and lifted tabs after Central Iowa hail and wind. We photograph every slope and give you a written report and replacement estimate.
Dark or shiny patches where granules wore off, and granules collecting at the downspout splash block — the shingles are shedding their protective layer.
Spongy spots underfoot or a visible sag mean the sheathing has rotted under old layers. We cut out and replace bad decking as part of every replacement.
What's included
We strip every old layer down to the deck. Des Moines is a city of tear-offs, not layovers.
Soft or rotted sheathing is cut out and replaced before anything new goes on — you see the photos first.
A full protective underlayment layer over the entire deck.
Chimneys, valleys, skylights and wall junctions get proper new metal, not smeared sealant.
Architectural asphalt, impact-resistant Class 4 shingles or standing-seam metal — with ventilation upgrades, then a magnet-sweep of every nail off your lawn.
Des Moines roofing materials
We install three proven roof systems on Des Moines homes — and we will tell you honestly which one fits your house and budget.
Straight numbers
Most Des Moines roof replacements land between roughly $9,000 and $28,000 for architectural asphalt shingles, driven by roof size, pitch, how many layers come off and how complicated the rooflines are. Impact-resistant shingles and standing-seam metal cost more. These are typical Central Iowa planning ranges — not a quote. Your real number comes from a measurement and a written estimate, and both are free.
| Home / roof size | Architectural asphalt | Impact-resistant asphalt | Standing-seam metal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small ranch (about 15–20 squares) | $9,000 – $14,000 | $12,000 – $18,000 | $22,000 – $34,000 |
| Typical two-story (about 20–28 squares) | $13,000 – $19,500 | $17,000 – $25,000 | $30,000 – $46,000 |
| Large or acreage home (about 28–40 squares) | $18,000 – $28,000 | $24,000 – $35,000 | $42,000 – $65,000 |
| Steep pitch, multiple layers or complex valleys | Typically adds 10–25% to any range above | ||
A “square” is 100 square feet of roof surface. Ranges assume tear-off, underlayment, ventilation and clean-up. Financing is available through Acorn Finance for larger replacements — see our financing page.

Kristen PohlmanAnswers before you call

Des Moines is a city of tear-offs, not layovers. With decades of re-roofing, many Des Moines homes carry two or three shingle layers that hide soft decking — and those almost always require a full tear-off. Your free inspection tells you honestly which approach your roof needs.
Yes. We inspect free, photograph every point of hail and wind damage, and give you a written report you can share with your insurer. One thing to know: Iowa homeowners policies commonly set a time limit for reporting hail damage, often twelve months from the storm date — so don't wait on a free inspection.
Yes. Every inspection is free and ends with photos and a written report, followed by a clear written estimate with no surprise add-ons.
