Local Roofing Company in Des Moines, Iowa

Blustery Iowa winters are hard on everything, from the cars we drive to the noses on our faces. We don’t realize that our roofs are feeling the effects of the cold too. High speed, long-lasting winds regularly blow the shingles from roofs, exposing the structure of the roof to the elements. Frequent snowstorms cause snow to accumulate on top of your roof without properly melting. The snow melts and runs off wherever it is able, typically under shingles and flashing, damaging roofs.

The leading cause of damage in Iowa in the winter is due to improperly installed or damaged roofs and gutters leaving water nowhere to go, leading it to freeze prior to running through the gutter system and causing an “ice dam”. These ice dams allow water to leak into attics and crawl spaces, which produces mold and other water damage to the interior of homes.

Our Des Moines roofers can provide you insight into how to best protect your home from the elements. Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the damaging effects of mother nature – let us help keep your Iowa home safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether to repair or replace your roof depends on a variety of factors. A comprehensive inspection by Apple Roofing will help answer that question. Roofing systems in Des Moines are frequently impacted by storms so checking for visible signs of interior damage such as leaking water or discoloration from improperly drained water is helpful. Our trained roofing contractors are happy to assess your roof and look for all types of damage.

A roof built with quality materials can last for decades. However, a roof in Des Moines is required to withstand a great number of storms with high-speed winds and may need more attention. From shingles being blown from roofs to impact from debris, damage gone unchecked over time can lead to a necessary roof replacement. Ice damming, a common Iowa occurrence, drastically shortens the lifespan of your roof.  Consequently, depending on materials, a roof in Des Moines needs to be replaced every 12 to 30 years.

Working around mother nature is important when considering a roof replacement in Des Moines. Between the frequent fall rains and extreme summer heat, it can be difficult to find the best time to schedule work. Our roofing specialists recommend getting your replacement taken care of in the Spring or early Summer in order to best beat the elements and provide the best circumstances for both your roof and your roofing team.

It’s important to choose a roofing material that suits both your functional and aesthetic needs. Our skilled team can help you! In Des Moines, the best type of roofing material is often asphalt due to its versatility and affordability. Asphalt shingles also have the benefit of being energy efficient, an important factor when considering the variable weather conditions in your area. Some homeowners may prefer a metal roof, which is also excellent as it can withstand the damage brought on by frequent and heavy winds.

Duration of roof replacement varies depending on the roofing material and the size of the home in question. The most common roof type is asphalt shingles, which are typically the fastest to install, taking only 1-2 days to complete. Metal roofs can take anywhere from 3-5 days. However, due to weather conditions throughout the installation and the complexity of your home, the replacement could take up to three weeks.

For most homeowners in Iowa, there are two paths to pay for a new roof: Out-of-pocket and insurance. If you decide to file a claim, the cost to you will depend on your policy, deductible and any upgrades. That said, you can rest easy knowing that Apple Roofing will work with you throughout the claims process. The out-of-pocket cost of replacing a roof in Des Moines varies based on the type of material and the size of the home in question. Pre-existing damage to your roof is also a factor. An average roof usually costs $7,500 – $14,000 to replace, with an asphalt shingle roof being the more affordable option and metal or concrete roofs being priced higher. Our skilled roofing contractors are more than happy to provide a comprehensive inspection and estimate to help you determine the best path for you and your home.

"My husband and I recently had our roof and gutters replaced by Apple Roofing. The management, sales people, and workers were responsive, professional, helpful, and easy to work with. We especially appreciated the service and ongoing communication we received from our sales rep, Justin M.. Justin was always open to questions and was extremely helpful when picking out roof and gutter products. Our roof looks terrific! We would recommend talking to Justin at Apple if you are in the market for a new roof and gutters."
"Apple roofing was very transparent and friendly throughout the whole process. Zach is a great project manager! He's onsite during the re-roofing process and communicates very well. Dave, the regional manager, answered all my questions and delivered when a few small issues arose. These people actually care about doing things the right way!"
"Adam C. at Apple Roofing is amazing. After a summer hailstorm he helped step us through the insurance process and was as advocate for our cause. His communication skills are excellent. When the roof was replaced, the installers were quick & efficient. When the job was completed, there was no trace that there had been hail here. Why has it taken me so long to write this review? It’s been on my to do list for over 6 months. Sorry Adam!"
"In my line of work I deal with contractors and roofing companies daily. I hate to say that every experience isn’t the greatest, BUT Apple Roofing is TOP in their field. Not only do they provide quality work with top-grade materials, their customer service and communication with all parties, most importantly the customer is superior! I absolutely cannot thank Dave Kluender and his team enough for the care, effort, education, and hard work they put into every job! I most definitely recommend Apple Roofing Des Moines!"
