Your Trusted Exterior Contractor in Des Moines, Iowa

Des Moines is Iowa's capital, and it has the most diverse housing stock in the entire metro. Every neighborhood tells a different story, and we have worked in enough of them to understand exactly what each one demands. In Beaverdale, you will find rows of charming 1940s bungalows with original cedar shake roofs that are decades past their useful life. The siding on these homes has been patched and painted so many times that moisture is getting behind the panels. We do full roofing replacements with modern architectural shingles and proper ice-and-water shield underlayment, then install fiber cement or vinyl siding that will actually last another 30 years in this climate.

Sherman Hill is a different challenge entirely. It is a designated historic district, which means renovation work has to respect the character and architectural details of these century-old homes. You cannot just throw up any material. We work carefully on siding, roofing, and interior painting projects in Sherman Hill to preserve what makes these homes special while still protecting the structure from Iowa's brutal weather. Over in East Village, it is a similar mix — historic homes alongside modern infill, where kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling bring outdated floor plans into the current era without destroying the original charm.

The Ingersoll area is full of established homes from the 1920s through the 1950s that are solid but showing their age. Gutters that have failed, exterior paint peeling off the wood trim, and basements begging to be finished into usable living space. Along the South Side, the needs are even more straightforward. Affordable homes from the 1950s through 1970s often require complete exterior overhauls — roofing, siding, gutters, and concrete all at once. The original driveways and sidewalks have cracked and heaved after decades of Central Iowa freeze-thaw punishment, where a single Iowa winter can cycle above and below freezing dozens of times.

Storm damage is another reality of owning a home in Des Moines. Hail and straight-line wind events hit the metro hard, and we respond fast with emergency roof tarping and full storm damage repairs. Beyond the exterior, basement finishing is one of our most popular interior projects across Des Moines. Older homes with dry, empty basements are sitting on hundreds of square feet of unused space. We frame, drywall, and paint those lower levels into family rooms, home offices, and guest suites. Our painting crews also stay busy refreshing interiors all over the city.

We are based just up I-35 in Ankeny, which puts us about 15 minutes from most Des Moines neighborhoods. We know this city block by block, and we know what it takes to keep these homes standing strong against everything Iowa weather throws at them.
