Grander Roofing and Construction | Roofing Services in Des Moines, IA 50317

Proper ventilation is key to preventing frost buildup in your attic, which can lead to ice dams and water damage. During a new roof installation or reroofing, we assess and upgrade your ventilation system to meet Iowa's specific climate needs. For ridge cap damage—a common issue here—we use reinforced, high-wind rated caps and superior sealing techniques during installation to protect this critical seam from our seasonal temperature swings and storms, ensuring a longer-lasting roof.

Absolutely. In Des Moines, clogged or improperly sized gutters can contribute to ice dam formation, especially if poor roof ventilation is causing heat loss and uneven snow melt. We recommend a professional gutter cleaning and inspection. If needed, our gutter installation or replacement service includes sizing calculations for Iowa's rainfall and integrating solutions like heated cables to manage meltwater, working in tandem with your roofing system to protect your home's foundation and prevent interior water damage.

We recommend a coordinated assessment. In our Des Moines area, high winds or fallen branches often damage both the roof's edge (like the ridge cap) and the siding below. Addressing them separately might miss underlying structural issues or compromise the weather-tight seal between materials. Our team can efficiently handle both siding repair or replacement and roof repair in one project, ensuring seamless protection and often saving you time and money while restoring your home's defense against the elements.
