Historic & Custom Roof Replacement
From steep Tudor gables in Beaverdale to Victorian pitch work in Sherman Hill, we handle the roof geometries that Des Moines’ historic homes demand. Precision chimney flashing, proper dormer integration, and Owens Corning Duration or Duration FLEX shingles with 50-year non-prorated warranties.
Storm & Hail Damage Restoration
Central Iowa storm cells track right along the I-235 corridor, delivering heavy hail and high winds across Des Moines neighborhoods. We provide expert inspections and the detailed documentation homeowners need when working with their insurance company. We are not public adjusters — we are build and documentation experts.
Siding, Gutters & Full Exteriors
Des Moines’ river valley humidity and severe freeze-thaw cycles demand premium siding engineered for Iowa conditions. We install James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide engineered wood, and vinyl siding — plus gutter systems, soffit, and fascia. From replacing aging lap siding in Drake to full exterior restoration on the south side, we match the right material to your home and climate.
From Frontier Fort to Insurance Capital — We Know Every Roof in This City
Des Moines was founded in 1843 at the confluence of the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers, became Iowa’s state capital in 1857, and grew into one of the world’s leading insurance centers. That financial strength created stable, high-value residential pockets across every era of construction — from the grand Victorians of the 1880s to the mid-century brick Tudors of the 1940s to the modern builds going up on the south side today. Every era built differently, and every era needs a roofing contractor who understands the differences.
Waterbury & the Salisbury House Corridor
Des Moines’ most exclusive residential pocket sits along the Waterbury corridor near Salisbury House & Gardens and Terrace Hill (the Governor’s Mansion). These historic, high-end estates feature intricate brickwork, steep multi-faceted roof pitches, complex flashing details, and custom architectural trim. Roofing and siding work on these homes demands precision — every valley, dormer, and chimney transition has to be right. We bring the Owens Corning Platinum Preferred standard of installation to every Waterbury project.
Sherman Hill Historic District
Sherman Hill is Des Moines’ oldest neighborhood and a National Register Historic District — 80 acres of late-1800s Victorian, Queen Anne, and Italianate architecture with steep roof pitches, ornate dormers, and detailed cornice work. Restoring or updating exteriors here means matching historic aesthetic guidelines while modernizing thermal protection and weather resilience. Hoyt Sherman Place, the neighborhood’s performing arts landmark, anchors the district.
Beaverdale
Built predominantly in the 1920s through 1940s, Beaverdale is famous for its iconic “Beaverdale Brick” Tudor Revival homes — steep gabled rooflines, arched doorways, and original brick chimneys. Roofing these homes requires expertise in steep-pitch gables, historic dormer integration, and precision flashing around masonry that’s approaching 100 years old. The neighborhood’s mature tree canopy traps moisture and debris, making regular inspection critical.
Drake, Union Park & Waveland
Surrounding Drake University (founded 1881) and extending through Union Park and Waveland Park, these neighborhoods feature classic Craftsman bungalows and two-story homes with grand front porches. Common exterior projects include replacing aging original lap siding, upgrading soffit ventilation, and installing heavy architectural shingles that match the period character of these early-1900s homes.
Downtown, East Village & Capitol District
The East Village — immediately east of the 23-karat gold-domed Iowa State Capitol — blends Italianate and Romanesque commercial architecture with loft conversions and modern mixed-use development. Nearby, the Pappajohn Sculpture Park anchors the western gateway with a 4.4-acre, $40-million collection of world-class contemporary art. The Court Avenue District rounds out downtown’s core with restaurants, breweries, and live venues.
South Side & Easter Lake Area
South of Grand Avenue and extending to the Easter Lake area, Des Moines’ south side features a blend of mid-century ranches, split-levels, and newer construction. These homes have high demand for durable, low-maintenance siding — James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide, and vinyl — paired with impact-resistant shingles. Our Owens Corning Duration FLEX Class 4 shingles are engineered exactly for this, qualifying homeowners for up to a 20% insurance premium discount.
River Valley Weather & Storm Exposure
Des Moines’ geography at the confluence of two rivers creates weather patterns that shorten the life of poorly installed roofs and siding. Homes near the Raccoon and Des Moines River valleys experience high humidity in summer and severe freeze-thaw cycles in winter, accelerating ice damming along eaves and moisture intrusion behind aging siding. Dense urban roofs absorb massive heat in July and August, aging asphalt shingles prematurely when attic ventilation is inadequate.
Severe storm cells coming off the western plains frequently track along the I-235 corridor, delivering heavy hail and high winds across central neighborhoods. The August 2020 derecho — the costliest thunderstorm in U.S. history at $11.2 billion — hit the Des Moines metro with 70–80 mph winds and 100+ mph gusts between the city and Ames. Polk County has logged dozens of additional hail events since, including quarter-size hail in April 2026. Many pre-2020 roofs still carry unrepaired damage.
Superstorm Roofing & Siding was born after a 2011 hailstorm damaged founder Chandler Steffy’s own family home in Urbandale. When we say we understand what Des Moines homeowners go through after a storm, it’s personal. We provide free, detailed inspections of your roof, siding, gutters, and full exterior. We document every finding so you have the evaluation data you need when working directly with your insurance company — though we are not public adjusters. FNBO financing is available for projects not covered by insurance.

Des Moines Roofing — Common Questions
How do I know if my Des Moines home has storm damage?
After a hailstorm or high winds, look for dented gutters, cracked or missing shingles, dented siding, and granules collecting in your downspouts. Many types of roof damage aren’t visible from the ground — especially on the steep pitches common in Beaverdale and Sherman Hill. We offer a free, no-obligation roof and exterior inspection and provide a written report so you know exactly where you stand.
What does a roof replacement cost in Des Moines?
Cost depends on the size of your roof, the materials you choose, and whether insurance is involved. Across our 3,100+ completed projects, the average homeowner out-of-pocket cost is $1,800 or less. We provide a detailed written estimate within 24 hours of your inspection, and FNBO financing is available for projects not covered by insurance.
Does Superstorm help with insurance claims?
We provide the detailed documentation and evaluation data homeowners need when working directly with their insurance company, though we are not public adjusters. Our thorough inspection reports — with measurements, photos, and itemized findings — give you the information to have a productive conversation with your carrier.
What is an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor?
Owens Corning Platinum Preferred is the highest designation Owens Corning awards — reserved for the top 1% of roofing contractors nationally. Only eight Iowa companies hold this status. It means factory-trained installers, access to the full Owens Corning product line, and the strongest warranty Owens Corning offers. Our owner Chandler Steffy also served on the Owens Corning Platinum Advisory Board as one of just 13 members nationally.
Why do Des Moines homes near the rivers age faster?
Homes near the Raccoon and Des Moines River valleys experience higher humidity in summer and more severe freeze-thaw cycles in winter. This accelerates ice damming along eaves and moisture intrusion behind aging siding. If your home is in a river-adjacent neighborhood, a regular roof and siding inspection is especially important — damage accumulates even in years without a major storm. Schedule your free inspection.
