Why Clive Chooses Hutch
Why do Clive homeowners choose Hutch Unlimited?
Straddling Polk and Dallas counties, Clive sits right in the path of the storm cells that roll across central Iowa each spring and summer. When wind and hail come through neighborhoods off Hickman Road and along Walnut Creek, homeowners want a roofer who answers, shows up on time and does honest work — not a stranger who knocked on the door after the storm. That's where owner Scott and the Hutch team have built their reputation.

- Owner Scott is on-site and reachable, start to finish
- Free, no-pressure roof inspections and written estimates
- Written damage reports you can hand to your insurer
- BBB A+ accredited with a 5.0-star, 63-review track record
- Financing available so a new roof fits your budget
Check This From The Ground
How do I know if my Clive roof needs repair?
You do not need a ladder for most of these. Stand across the street on a bright morning and look at your roof against the light.
- Patches that look darker or shinier — exposed asphalt where granules blew off
- Granules collecting in gutters, splash blocks or the flowerbed below
- Tabs curling at the corners, or a whole course lifting in wind
- Dented or torn ridge caps — the first thing hail and wind take
- Cracked rubber pipe boots, the single most common leak source
- Rust or gaps in step flashing where the roof meets a chimney
- Any stain, bubble or soft spot on an upstairs ceiling
- Daylight, damp sheathing or a musty attic smell after heavy rain
- Dented gutters, garage doors or AC fins — hail rarely hits only the roof
If you see two or more, get eyes on it. An instant roof estimate takes a minute online, or call for a free inspection.
Straight Numbers, No Games
How much does a roof replacement cost in Clive, IA?
Most Clive 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. Compare our detailed roof replacement cost guide for Central Iowa, or read whether to repair or replace your roof.
Polk County Weather Reality
How often does Clive get roof-damaging storms and hail?
Central Iowa roofs take a beating on a schedule. These are the metro events on the record that Clive homeowners still call us about.
August 10, 2020 — the derecho
75 mph measured at Des Moines International, with gusts of roughly 70 to 85 mph across Polk County. Costliest thunderstorm event on record nationally.
July 9, 2021 — Polk County hail
3.25-inch hail logged in Polk County, with two-inch hail at Polk City the same evening. Hail that size bruises and fractures shingles even when the roof looks fine from the driveway.
August 19, 2022 — metro hail
Golf-ball hail across the Des Moines metro. Bruised shingles from this storm are still turning up as leaks two and three winters later.
July 20–21, 2026 — rain and wind
NWS Des Moines logged more than four inches of rain at east-metro report points, with shingles blown off roofs across Polk County.
Storm damage is on a clock
Iowa homeowners policies commonly set a time limit for reporting hail damage, often twelve months from the storm date, and that clock runs whether or not you knew you had damage. The Iowa Insurance Division publishes plain-English guidance at iid.iowa.gov. Our part is simple: we document the damage with photos and a written report, promptly, so you have a clear record whatever you decide to do with it.

Clive roofing questions, answered
How much does a new roof cost in Clive, IA?
Roof replacement cost in Clive depends on your home's size, roof pitch, material and any storm damage. Given the larger, higher-value homes common near the Country Club and 128th Street, projects vary widely — which is why we give every Clive homeowner a free inspection and a clear written estimate. Financing is available, and your homeowners policy may cover part of the cost after a storm.
Can you document storm and hail damage in Clive?
Yes. Clive sits in the path of Central Iowa's spring and summer storm cells, and hail is common. We provide a free post-storm inspection, fully document the damage with photos, and give you a written report and estimate you can share with your insurance company.
How fast can you inspect my Clive roof after a storm?
We prioritize storm-damage calls in Clive and the surrounding metro. Call (515) 313-7355 and we'll get you on the schedule quickly — often within a day or two — so a small leak near Walnut Creek doesn't turn into ceiling and drywall damage.
Do you install metal roofing in Clive?
We do. Standing-seam and metal roof systems are a durable, low-maintenance option that looks especially sharp on Clive's modern and custom builds. We'll walk you through metal versus architectural shingles so you can pick what fits your home and budget.
Are you a local Clive roofer or a storm chaser?
We're locally owned and have served the Des Moines metro since 2021, based out of nearby Grimes. Owner Scott is on every project and reachable directly — no out-of-state door-knockers who vanish after the check clears. That's a big part of our 5.0-star, 63-review reputation.
Do you offer free estimates in Clive?
Always. Every roof inspection and estimate in Clive is free and no-pressure. Request yours online or call and we'll set up a time that works for you.
How much does roof repair cost in Clive?
Small repairs such as a cracked pipe boot, a few wind-lifted shingles or resealed flashing are usually a few hundred dollars. Larger repairs involving decking, valley metal or a whole slope run higher, and at some point a full replacement makes more sense. The inspection and the written estimate are free, so you get a real number before deciding anything.
