Storm & Hail Damage in Grimes, Iowa

Grimes sits in the northwestern Des Moines metro where open farmland to the north and west means storm systems arrive with nearly full force. Wind and hail events are common, and the city's rapid growth along the Highway 141 corridor means a lot of newer housing stock has taken multiple storm events in just its first decade. The August 2020 derecho pushed 100+ mph winds across Grimes, and hail events in 2022-2024 added new damage on top.

Bakeris Roofing has been roofing Grimes since 1990. We cover the older neighborhoods near Main Street, the newer subdivisions along the 141 corridor, and the developments in the Dallas Center-Grimes school district. Grimes roofs see some of the strongest wind exposure in the metro because of the open terrain to the north — wind-lift on ridge caps and rake edges is one of the most common damage modes we find here.

Our Grimes storm inspections are hands-on: we chalk every hail impact, measure dent diameters on soft metals and gutter aprons (which tell us storm direction and intensity), check every pipe boot and flashing component, and photograph all damage for your insurance file. The claim-ready report we produce includes impact measurements, scope of repair, and photos — everything your adjuster needs to approve a clean claim.

For Grimes homeowners filing insurance claims, we meet your adjuster on site and walk the roof with them. This single step is what separates a full-scope approval from a partial or denied claim. Because Bakeris is Iowa-local and 36 years deep in this metro — not a storm chaser — our workmanship warranty stays honored for the life of the roof.

Emergency tarping is available same-day across Grimes. Our trucks run from Runnells and Des Moines, with Grimes about 20-25 minutes away. Call (515) 967-8199 or request a free inspection online.
