Storm & Hail Damage in Ankeny, Iowa

Ankeny is one of the fastest-growing cities in Iowa, which means a huge percentage of the housing stock is under 20 years old. Homeowners assume a newer roof means no storm damage, and that's one of the most expensive mistakes we see in Ankeny. A brand-new asphalt shingle will crack and bruise from the same hail that damages a 15-year-old roof — it just hides the damage better, which is why Ankeny has thousands of unfiled claims sitting on roofs right now.

Bakeris Roofing has been working in Ankeny since 1990, long before Prairie Trail was built. We have roofed homes in every neighborhood from the older stretches near DMACC out to the newest subdivisions off Oralabor and 18th Street. The August 2020 derecho hit Ankeny hard — sustained 100+ mph winds across the entire city — and a hail line in 2023 added another wave of damage that many homeowners still haven't addressed.

Our Ankeny storm inspections look for the damage your ground-level view misses: hail impact bruising on the field shingles (which softens the mat and shortens the roof's life by 5-10 years), wind-lifted shingles along ridges and edges, torn pipe boots, and hail-dented gutter aprons and soft metals. Every finding gets photographed with impact measurements for your insurance file.

For Ankeny homeowners filing an insurance claim, we meet the adjuster on site, walk the roof with them, and make sure nothing gets missed. That one step is the difference between a full approval and a denied or partial claim. Because we're local and licensed in Iowa — not a storm chaser who will vanish before warranty season — we can also honor the claim long after the check clears.

Same-day emergency tarping is available across Ankeny. Call (515) 967-8199 or request a free inspection.
