Roof Replacement for West Des Moines Homes

Much of West Des Moines was built in the 1990s and early 2000s, putting a large share of homes 20–30 years into a typical 25–30 year shingle lifespan. Neighborhoods around Valley Junction, Jordan Creek, and the Westown corridor also have a high proportion of hip-and-valley rooflines — more complex geometry that adds labor time and material.

A full replacement starts with a complete tear-off — every layer of old shingles and underlayment comes down so we can inspect the deck. Any rotted decking gets replaced before we install ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the field, and architectural shingles rated for Iowa's hail and wind loads. Ridge ventilation is part of the system, not an afterthought.

If your roof is 20+ years old, showing granule loss, or has recurring issues, full roof replacement is usually the better investment. We price complex rooflines accurately upfront so there are no surprises mid-job. We do similar work for homes in nearby Waukee and Clive — see completed work on our projects page.
