Elite Exteriors of Iowa | Gutter Services & Roofing in Des Moines, IA 50316

Ice blockages in gutters and at the roof edge, often called ice dams, are a common issue in our Iowa winters and can lead to water backing up under your shingles. It's important to address this promptly to prevent interior water damage. We recommend a professional assessment of your gutter system and roof ventilation. Our team can install heated gutter cables, improve attic insulation to prevent snow melt, and ensure your gutters and downspouts are properly sized and sloped to handle our seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, protecting your home's exterior and foundation.

The need for repair versus replacement depends on the condition and age of your current system. We typically recommend repair for isolated issues like a single leak, a loose section, or a clogged downspout. However, if your gutters are sagging, pulling away from the fascia, have multiple leaks, or show significant rust and corrosion (common with older systems), a full replacement is often a more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution. During our free estimate, we'll inspect your gutters, explain the options, and help you make the best decision for your home.

Our siding replacement process is designed to be thorough and minimally disruptive. It begins with a detailed consultation to discuss material options like vinyl, fiber cement, or engineered wood, tailored to your budget and Des Moines's climate. Our skilled crew then carefully removes the old siding, inspects and repairs the underlying sheathing for any moisture damage, and installs a proper weather-resistant barrier. We perform precise, secure installation with attention to flashing details around windows and doors. We handle all cleanup, leaving your property tidy and your home with a durable, beautiful new exterior built to last.
