Total Exteriors | Roofing Services in Des Moines, IA 50309

Ice dams are a common local issue caused by heat escaping from your attic, melting snow on the roof, which then refreezes at the eaves. This can lead to water backing up under shingles and causing moisture damage to your insulation and structure. At Total Exteriors, we address this by first conducting a thorough roof and attic inspection. We look for inadequate insulation or ventilation that allows heat to escape. Our solution often involves improving attic ventilation, adding proper insulation, and ensuring your roof's underlayment and flashing are sealed correctly to prevent water intrusion, protecting your home from the inside out.

Our comprehensive roof inspection is designed to give you a clear picture of your roof's condition. We'll examine the shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, and the underlying structure for signs of wear, storm damage, or potential leaks. For Des Moines homes, we pay special attention to areas prone to ice dam formation and wind damage. After the inspection, we provide a detailed assessment and honest recommendation on whether a repair, partial replacement, or full reroofing is the most practical and durable solution for your specific situation, ensuring you have the information needed to make a confident decision.

Our siding installation begins with a consultation to discuss your goals, budget, and material options suitable for Iowa's climate. Our crew will carefully remove your old siding, inspect the underlying sheathing for any moisture damage or needed repairs, and prepare the surface. We then install your new siding with precision, paying close attention to sealing around windows, doors, and corners to ensure maximum weather protection and energy efficiency for your Des Moines home. We clean up thoroughly afterward, leaving you with a revitalized exterior that provides improved protection and curb appeal for years to come.
