Exterior Restoration and Roofing

Roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and ventilation all work together. Andrew's Roofing helps West Des Moines homeowners protect the full exterior of the home with smart water diversion and complete restoration solutions.

Our focus is helping homeowners understand how every part of the exterior connects and how water should be directed away from the home correctly.

Whether you need roofing, siding, gutters, windows, ventilation improvements, or full exterior restoration after a storm, our team works to create a complete solution rather than treating each issue in isolation.

Why Homeowners Choose Us

Protecting the Entire Exterior of the Home

If you’re looking for help with the outside of your home in West Des Moines, 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 West Des Moines

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.

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.

Siding

Siding plays a major role in protecting the home from moisture and weather exposure.

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 THIS WORKS TOGETHER

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 West Des Moines 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. In West Des Moines, this matters especially in two distinct situations. Older homes near Historic Valley Junction and Ashworth Road often have aging systems where one deferred repair compounds into several. And higher-value homes near Jordan Creek represent significant investment where protecting the exterior correctly the first time is far less expensive than addressing water damage after the fact.

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

  • Foundation moisture concerns in low-lying areas near Raccoon River

Storm Restoration

Helping West Des Moines 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. West Des Moines homeowners should also be aware of Iowa's line of sight rule under Administrative Code 191-15.44. If storm damage requires partial replacement and matching materials are no longer available, your insurer may be required to replace enough material for a uniform appearance — a protection that matters especially in higher-value homes where aesthetic consistency directly affects property value.

Chris and Amy Martin — West Des Moines, Iowa

This returning customer needed a custom high-temperature ventilation system routed through the attic and roof for a working forge in their detached garage. We designed and installed a complete fire-rated exhaust solution with a suspended hood vent and double-insulated piping, ensuring safe operation and full structural protection.

Legacy at Bridgewood — West Des Moines, Iowa

After five years of ongoing repairs across this townhome community, we conducted a full drone inspection and developed a property-wide maintenance plan that replaced pipe boots, sealed exposed fasteners, and corrected ventilation issues across all buildings. Reported leaks dropped significantly following the work, extending the life of roofs that were 8 to 10 years old.

Roofing in West Des Moines's Unique Environment

Every community has its own roofing challenges. Here's what West Des Moines homeowners need to know.

A Wide Range of Homes Means a Wide Range of Roofing Needs West Des Moines has one of the most diverse housing stocks in the entire Des Moines metro. Historic Valley Junction is home to houses built in the early 1900s — many of which have original or aging roofing systems that require experienced assessment, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Moving west toward Jordan Creek and beyond, you find homes built across every decade from the 1970s through today, including luxury custom builds that require high-specification materials and installation. We work across all of these home types and understand what each one needs.

Iowa Storm Season Does Not Spare West Des Moines Central Iowa ranks in the top 10 states nationally for hail damage frequency and West Des Moines is no exception. The metro saw significant hail events in both 2011 and 2018 that prompted widespread roof replacements across the city. Many of those replacement roofs are now 7 to 15 years old and approaching the point where a professional inspection is a smart proactive step, regardless of whether visible damage is present.

Older Homes Require Careful Exterior Evaluation Homes in the Valley Junction area and along Ashworth Road often have systems that have aged together — original ventilation, aging flashing, and siding or windows that no longer perform the way they should. A roofing repair without addressing underlying ventilation or drainage issues is a short-term fix in a home like this. We look at the full exterior system and give homeowners an honest picture of where things stand.

Home Values Here Make Getting It Right the First Time Critical With a median home value over $384,000 and luxury properties well above $700,000 in some West Des Moines neighborhoods, the stakes for exterior restoration are higher than in most Iowa communities. Water infiltration that goes unaddressed in a high-value home compounds quickly into structural repair costs that far exceed the original roofing investment. Andrew's Roofing treats every West Des Moines home with the level of care and precision that protects both the structure and the investment behind it.
