It depends on the extent of the damage. We recommend a professional inspection. For minor, isolated granule loss or a few cracked shingles, a repair is often sufficient. However, widespread bruising, significant granule loss exposing the matting, or damage across multiple roof slopes often indicates a replacement is more cost-effective for long-term protection. We'll provide a detailed assessment and transparent recommendation.

Absolutely. Clogged gutters are a leading cause of roof issues in Des Moines. When water can't flow freely, it backs up under the roof edge (fascia and soffit), leading to wood rot, ice dams in winter, and water intrusion into your attic or walls. Our routine gutter cleaning service is a proactive, affordable measure that protects your entire roofing system from preventable water damage.

After high winds common in our area, check for visible signs from the ground: missing, lifted, or creased shingles; granules in your gutters or downspouts; and damaged flashing around chimneys or vents. Inside your home, look for new water stains on ceilings or in the attic. If you notice any of these, contact us promptly for a repair assessment to prevent minor issues from becoming major leaks.
