Best Roofing Companies in Waukee, Iowa (2026)

Waukee's exploded over the last decade. New subdivisions south of Hickman, the Kettlestone development, neighborhoods going up faster than the school district can build schools. Most of these homes are 5-20 years old, which means the original builder-grade shingles are starting to fail, and the first wave of insurance-claim re-roofs from the 2020 derecho and the hail seasons since are still working their way through.

Here's who's doing good roofing work in Waukee in 2026.

How we ranked these

Same four criteria across the board: Google review volume and rating, manufacturer certifications (the meaningful ones like Owens Corning Platinum or GAF Master Elite), years operating in central Iowa, and whether the company actively services Waukee. We didn't weight Google Ads spend or radio jingles. Just who's showing up and doing the work.

The list

1. Bakeris Roofing

Address: Main office Runnells, IA / Satellite at 1809 Park Ave, Des Moines Reviews: 550+ five-star Google reviews Certifications: Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, BBB A+

Bakeris has been on Iowa roofs since 1990. 36 years of working in this exact climate (hail, derechos, ice dams, the freeze-thaw that destroys cheap shingles by year ten) is the kind of experience you can't fake or buy. Family-owned the whole stretch.

For Waukee homeowners specifically, the Owens Corning Platinum Preferred designation is worth paying attention to. A lot of these newer builds came with builder-grade shingles that weren't installed by certified contractors, which means the manufacturer warranty is limited at best. When you re-roof with a Platinum Preferred installer, you unlock extended warranties (the SureNail Platinum Protection warranty covers 50 years on materials plus workmanship) that you literally can't get any other way. Only the top 1% of Owens Corning contractors carry that status.

550+ five-star Google reviews and a BBB A+ rating back up the certifications. Free estimates on roof replacements and any storm-damage situation. The $98 service-call fee for repair visits is upfront, and it credits toward any work that gets ordered. No high-pressure sales, no chasing storms door-to-door. They show up, look at it honestly, and tell you what you actually need.

2. Heartland Roofing, Siding, Solar

Address: Des Moines, IA Reviews: 653+ Known for: Solar integration

Heartland brings roofing, siding, and solar under one company, which makes them a good fit for newer Waukee homes where homeowners are thinking long-term about energy costs. South-facing roofs in Waukee subdivisions are often great solar candidates, and pairing solar with a re-roof avoids paying twice for panel removal later. Solid review count and metro-wide presence.

3. Right Roofing & Siding

Address: Urbandale, IA Reviews: 339+ Certifications: GAF Master Elite

Right Roofing's GAF Master Elite status puts them in roughly the top 2% of GAF-certified contractors. They're based in Urbandale, so the drive to Waukee is short. If you've researched and landed on GAF Timberline as your shingle choice, Right is a strong call. The Master Elite cert also unlocks GAF's Golden Pledge warranty, which is GAF's top consumer warranty product.

4. Waddle Exteriors

Address: Story City, IA Reviews: 262+ Certifications: GAF, CertainTeed, Pella Platinum

Waddle covers central Iowa from Story City. The longer drive is the trade-off, but they carry three meaningful certifications: GAF, CertainTeed, and Pella Platinum. That range lets homeowners choose between different shingle lines and bundle window work if it's needed. For Waukee homes that need roof and window work together, the Pella connection is useful.

Getting a roof inspection in Waukee

A lot of Waukee homes are hitting that 10-20 year mark where the original builder-grade shingles start failing, and a lot of newer homeowners don't realize their existing roof might already qualify for an insurance claim from past hail. If you bought your house in the last few years and never had a roof inspection done, it's worth getting one. You might have damage that's still claimable.
