Your Full-Service General Contractor in Altoona, Iowa — Trusted by 200+ Homeowners

Your Trusted Exterior Contractor in Altoona, Iowa

Altoona has grown from a small town to a thriving suburb. Homes throughout Altoona — from the Adventureland area to Spring Creek — benefit from our expert roofing, siding, gutter, and concrete services. We bring the same quality to Altoona that we deliver in our hometown of Ankeny.

We handle your home inside and out: roofing, siding, gutters, concrete, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, and interior painting. Every project comes with a free estimate, honest pricing, and a clean job site. That is the Black Ridge promise — whether you are in Altoona or anywhere else in Central Iowa.

If you live near the Adventureland area, along the Bass Pro Drive corridor, or in the Spring Creek neighborhood, you probably know that Altoona has changed a lot over the past 30 years. What used to be a small town east of Des Moines is now one of the metro's most popular suburbs. That growth means a wide mix of housing — from homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s to brand-new construction going up right now. The older homes in Altoona are hitting the age where big projects start stacking up. After 25-plus years of Iowa freeze-thaw cycles, roofs wear out, gutters start pulling away from the fascia, and concrete driveways crack and heave. We see it all the time, and we know how to fix it right the first time.

Inside those 90s and 2000s-era Altoona homes, homeowners are ready for a refresh. Interior painting is one of the most popular projects we do here — replacing outdated color schemes with clean, modern tones can completely change the feel of a home. Many homeowners also come to us for kitchen remodeling because the original builder-grade cabinets and laminate countertops are showing their age. A new kitchen with solid countertops, updated cabinets, and fresh flooring adds real value and makes daily life better. Bathroom remodels are another common request, especially in homes where the original tile, vanities, and fixtures are starting to look tired.

Altoona's newer homes come with their own set of needs too. Builders often leave basements unfinished, which means a lot of square footage just sitting there unused. Our basement finishing team turns that empty concrete space into a family room, home office, guest bedroom, or whatever your family needs most. We also handle siding upgrades for homeowners who want something more durable than what the builder installed. Whether your Altoona home needs one project or a full overhaul inside and out, Black Ridge Contracting is the team to call.
