Metal Roofing in Urbandale, Iowa

Urbandale's mature tree canopy is one of its greatest assets and one of its toughest challenges for roofing. Shaded roofs stay wetter longer, which shortens asphalt shingle life by 5-10 years compared to sun-exposed roofs. Moss, algae, and organic debris accumulate and eat asphalt from the surface down. Metal roofing solves all of this — it doesn't support moss or algae growth, it doesn't absorb moisture, and it lasts 50+ years regardless of shade exposure.

Bakeris Roofing has been installing metal roofs in Urbandale since 1990. We work across every Urbandale neighborhood, from the established areas along Aurora Avenue with their mature oaks and sweet gums, to the newer developments east of 86th and 100th, to the Walnut Creek area. The tree canopy question matters for shingle selection — under heavy canopy, metal dramatically outperforms any asphalt option on service life.

For Urbandale homes, stone-coated steel is often the best aesthetic match. It maintains the traditional architectural shingle appearance that blends with Urbandale's established neighborhoods while delivering metal's durability. Standing seam works well on modern builds but can look out of place on the older Urbandale housing stock. We help pick the right system for your roofline during the free estimate.

Urbandale's tree canopy also means more debris falling on the roof — branches, acorns, sweet gum balls. Metal handles impact from falling branches far better than asphalt. A branch strike that would break multiple asphalt shingles usually leaves nothing more than a minor surface scratch on stone-coated steel. Combined with Class 4 impact resistance for hail, metal is the most damage-resistant residential roof material you can install in Urbandale.

A full Urbandale metal roof install takes 3-5 days, 50-year material warranty, lifetime workmanship warranty. We also handle fascia repair if needed before installation. Call (515) 967-8199 or request a free Urbandale metal roof estimate.
