Your roofer in Ankeny
Ankeny is about half an hour up the interstate from our Waukee base, and we're there regularly for inspections, repairs and full replacements. Many calls come after spring hail, when owners in newer neighborhoods notice dented gutters or downspouts and want to know whether the roof was hit too.
That's a fair question, because soft metal dents before shingles do. We check both, mark and photograph hits on each slope, and tell you plainly whether there's enough damage for a claim. If there isn't, you'll hear that too.
Ankeny homes and their roofs
Uptown, Ankeny's original downtown, is surrounded by houses from the early and middle 1900s. Most of the city has been built since the 1990s, though, including Prairie Trail, a large planned neighborhood on the south side with front porches, narrow lots and many garages off rear alleys.
Porch roofs, small gables and dormers on Prairie Trail homes add flashing details that a plain ranch doesn't have. Elsewhere in Ankeny, subdivisions from the 2000s are reaching the age when builder-grade shingles start to fail, and the flat, open ground lets wind find every loose tab.

What we see most on Ankeny roofs
- Porch roof tie-insWhere a porch roof meets the main wall, keeping water out depends on step flashing and siding clearance. When either is wrong, rot shows up in the porch ceiling or the wall behind it.
- Original shingles from the 2000sAnkeny homes from the late 1990s and 2000s often still have their first roof. Curling, granule loss and cracked tabs mean it's close to done, even if nothing is leaking yet.
- Townhome and association roofsAnkeny has many townhome associations where one roof spans several units. We can inspect and quote a whole building for the board and coordinate with residents on install day. Larger properties are covered under commercial roofing.

Roofing questions from Ankeny
Do you cover all of Ankeny?
Yes, from Prairie Trail on the south side to the newer subdivisions east of I-35 and the neighborhoods north of Uptown. Inspections and written estimates are free anywhere in the city.
How can I tell if my gutters were dented by hail or are just old?
Hail dents are round, look fresh and cluster on the side that faced the storm. Older dings are random and often dull or painted over. We outline soft-metal hits in chalk and photograph them so they read clearly in a claim file.
