Why Homeowners Choose Us
Protecting the Entire Exterior of the Home
If you’re looking for help with the outside of your home in Ankeny, the right solution is not always just a roofing fix. In many cases, the roof, siding, gutters, windows, and ventilation system all affect one another.
That is why Andrew’s Roofing focuses more on complete exterior solutions. Our goal is to help homeowners understand how the full exterior system works together, how water is supposed to move away from the home, and what improvements are needed to restore protection and performance.
For some homes, that means a targeted repair. For others, it means a larger restoration plan that addresses multiple exterior components at once.
Why this matters
The outside of the home functions as one connected system.
Roofing connects to gutters and ventilation
Siding and windows should support weather protection
Water diversion is vital to protecting your home longterm
Storm restoration is a full exterior scope, not just the roof
Services
Exterior Services We Provide in Ankeny
We focus on exterior systems that directly affect protection, weather resistance, and water management.
Roofing
We help homeowners with roof inspections, repairs, replacements, and storm-related roofing restoration.
Windows
Windows are an important part of the overall exterior envelope. When storm damage or aging affects the home, windows may need to be included in the restoration scope.
Siding
Siding plays a major role in protecting the home from moisture and weather exposure.
Ventilation
Ventilation affects the long-term performance of the roofing system. Poor airflow and trapped moisture can shorten roof life and contribute to problems that are not visible from the ground.
Gutters
Gutters are central to water diversion. If water is not being moved away from the roofline and foundation correctly, it can affect multiple parts of the home exterior.
Storm Restoration
During storm events, exterior damage may involve more than one area. We help homeowners evaluate the full scope of what needs to be restored so the home can be put back together correctly.
Why Homeowners Choose Us
Roofing, Siding, Gutters & Windows Working Together
Full Exterior Thinking
Instead of looking at one isolated problem, we look at how the entire exterior system is functioning and where water, weather, and wear are affecting the home.
Water Diversion Focus
Water management is connected through your roofing, gutters, siding, windows, and ventilation. This works together.
Exterior Restoration Support
When a storm affects multiple parts of the home, the repair should be include a complete exterior restoration, not just a single area.
Water Diversion
Why Water Diversion Matters for Ankeny Homes
Diverting water appropriately helps protect the integrity of your home.
Roofing helps shed water. Gutters help direct it away. Siding and windows help protect the envelope of the home. Ventilation helps support the health and performance of the roofing system over time.
When these components are installed and restored with the full system in mind, homeowners get a better long-term result than they would from a piecemeal approach.
Common exterior issues this helps address
Water moving where it should not
Roof edge and gutter-related wear
Siding damage after storms
Window-related exterior restoration needs
Ventilation problems affecting roof life
Storm Restoration
Helping Homeowners Document Full Exterior Damage
During storm events, we assist homeowners with full exterior restoration, including roofing, siding, gutters, and windows. Our goal is to provide a complete scope of work necessary to return the home to its pre-loss condition while also accounting for any required code upgrades.
As part of this process, we perform a detailed inspection and prepare a comprehensive scope of work. Many homeowners use this documentation when presenting their claim to their insurance adjuster.
We understand that not all adjusters specialize in exterior construction systems. Our team helps communicate what is required to properly restore the home by providing a clear scope of work along with a detailed estimate that can be easily reviewed and interpreted by the insurance company.

Roofing in Ankeny's
Unique Environment
Every community has its own roofing challenges. Here's what Ankeny homeowners need to know.
Iowa Storm Season Hits Ankeny Hard Central Iowa ranks in the top 10 states nationally for hail damage frequency and Ankeny sits directly in the path of storms that track northeast across the Des Moines metro from April through September. Hail as small as a dime can bruise shingles in ways that aren't visible from the ground — damage that quietly shortens your roof's life and can complicate insurance claims if left without inspection.
Ankeny's Growth Means a Wide Range of Roof Ages Ankeny's rapid expansion has created neighborhoods at very different stages of their roofing lifecycle. Homes in Prairie Trail, Deer Creek, and Otter Creek were largely built in the 2000s and 2010s and many are now 15 to 20 years old and approaching the age where a professional inspection is a smart proactive move, even without visible damage. Builder-grade materials vary in quality and installation issues don't always surface in the first few years.
Permits Are Required for Roof Replacements in Ankeny Unlike some surrounding communities, Ankeny requires a building permit for roof replacements. Andrew's Roofing handles the permitting process as part of every job so you don't need to navigate the city's building department on your own. Every installation also includes proper ice barrier underlayment, which is required under Iowa building code and critical for preventing ice dams during Central Iowa's freeze-thaw winters.
Your Insurance Claim Window Is Limited and Documentation Matters Iowa homeowner's insurance policies typically give you one to two years from the date of storm damage to file a claim but the sooner damage is professionally documented, the stronger your position with your adjuster. Under Iowa Administrative Code 191-15.44, the line of sight rule, if a storm damages part of your roof and matching shingles are no longer available, your insurer may be required to replace enough material for a uniform appearance at no extra cost to you beyond your deductible. Andrew's Roofing offers free post-storm inspections and can meet with your adjuster on-site.
We believe that transparency and honesty are essential in building trust with our clients. That's why we encourage all of our customers to leave honest reviews about their experience with us. We take all feedback seriously and use it to improve our services and ensure that we continue to meet and exceed our clients' expectations.
