West Des Moines Homes and Storm Damage
West Des Moines has about 34,006 homes. The median home was built in 1994, roughly 28% were built before 1980 and 39% in 2000 or later, and the median home value is $309,000.
The older homes around Valley Junction and the original east side often have steeper roofs, older flashing and tall trees, so wind and falling limbs are a bigger risk there. The newer neighborhoods to the south and west have larger, more complex roofs with many valleys and hips, which means more places for hail to do damage and more square footage to inspect.
Many West Des Moines neighborhoods have HOA standards for shingle style and color, especially in the newer developments. Check yours before choosing a replacement shingle.
Housing figures: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 5-year estimates.
How to Spot Hail Damage on a West Des Moines Roof
Look for these signs after a storm, from the ground only:
- Dented gutters, downspouts and roof vents, the easiest clue that hail was large enough to matter.
- Dark spots or shiny patches on shingles where granules are gone, often clearest on the side that faced the storm.
- Damage along valleys and ridges on larger, cut-up roofs, where water collects and shingles overlap.
- Broken limbs, scraped shingles or missing tabs under mature trees.

Inside a West Des Moines Storm Inspection
Larger West Des Moines roofs can have dozens of facets, so we rely on drone photos to cover every slope, then photograph and date individual hail hits. We also check flashing around chimneys and walls, skylights, vents and gutters, and the siding on the storm side of the house.
Your written report explains what we found and what we recommend. It is free, and if the storm did not damage your roof, we will tell you that.
How Does a Hail Claim Work in West Des Moines?
Homeowners file the claim directly with their insurance company. Your insurer’s adjuster inspects the roof. We are not public adjusters; your policy and insurer decide coverage.
When several storms hit in one season, it helps to know which date caused the damage. Our dated photos and the storm table above help you give your insurer the right date. We never offer to pay, cover or waive a deductible.
Should I Repair or Replace My West Des Moines Roof After Hail?
Repairs work well for limited damage, such as a few shingles around a vent or along a ridge, when the same shingle is still available.
On large, complex roofs with hits spread across many slopes, or where older and newer shingles would not match, replacement is usually the better long-term choice. We will lay out both options with photos and a written estimate.

Impact-Resistant Shingles for West Des Moines Homes
Homeowners replacing a roof in West Des Moines often ask about impact-resistant shingles. Class 4 is the top rating under the UL 2218 test, and Owens Corning offers Class 4 shingles that we install as a Platinum Preferred contractor. The photo above shows hail damage on a Class 3 shingle: impact-resistant does not mean hail-proof.
Some insurers offer a discount for Class 4 roofs. Ask your insurer about any discount before you decide.

West Des Moines Hail & Storm Damage FAQ
How do I know if the latest storm damaged my West Des Moines roof?
Start with the storm table on this page. It updates automatically from National Weather Service reports and shows the most recent severe hail and wind near West Des Moines. A report nearby does not mean your roof was damaged, and damage can happen where nothing was reported, so a free inspection with drone photos is the only way to know.
My home is on the south side near Cumming. Does hail there affect me?
It can. Hail is often reported around Cumming and Waukee, close to the newer south and west sides of West Des Moines, and the storm table on this page includes those nearby reports. An inspection is the only reliable way to check your roof.
How can I tell which storm damaged my roof?
Dated photos help. We document the condition of your roof and can compare it with the storm reports listed on this page, which gives you clear information to share with your insurer about when the damage likely happened.
Do larger roofs cost more to inspect?
No. Our storm damage inspection is free for any size home, including large roofs with many slopes. The drone lets us photograph every section.
Can hail damage be hidden on a complex roof?
Yes. Valleys, back slopes and upper sections are hard to see from the ground or even from a ladder. That is why our inspection uses drone photos of every facet of the roof.
Does my West Des Moines HOA need to approve a new roof?
Many West Des Moines neighborhoods, especially newer developments, have HOA rules for shingle color and style. Check with your HOA before choosing. We will work within those standards.
Can Class 3 or Class 4 shingles still get hail damage?
Yes. Class 4 and Class 3 impact-resistant shingles resist hail better than standard shingles, but large hail can still damage them. Some insurers offer a discount for Class 4 roofs; ask yours about any discount.
My older home near Valley Junction has big trees. What should I watch for?
After wind, look for missing or lifted shingles, scraped areas where limbs rubbed the roof, and dented gutters. Branches over the roof can also hold moisture. We check all of this during the inspection.
Do you have recent jobs in West Des Moines?
Yes. Every job is checked in on NearbyNow, and the live map on this page shows our most recent West Des Moines work. More projects and reviews are on our West Des Moines roofing and siding page.
