Storm & Hail Damage in Johnston, Iowa

Johnston roofs sit in one of the most storm-exposed corners of the Des Moines metro. Wind events coming off Saylorville Lake to the north and west arrive largely unobstructed, and the city's mix of newer subdivisions and older neighborhoods means storm damage patterns vary block by block. The August 2020 derecho pushed 100+ mph sustained winds through Johnston. Many roofs still carry damage from that event that was never filed on insurance.

Bakeris Roofing has been repairing storm damage in Johnston since 1990. We've worked the older neighborhoods near NW 62nd Avenue and Merle Hay Road, the newer developments north toward Saylorville, and the subdivisions around Camp Dodge. The 2022-2024 hail cycles added multiple new waves of damage on top of the derecho, and many Johnston homeowners only discover the damage years later when a leak appears.

Our Johnston storm inspections are hands-on. We chalk and photograph every impact on the field shingles, document wind-lift on ridges and rake edges, measure hail dents on gutter aprons and soft metals, and test all pipe boots and flashing. Every finding goes into a documented construction report for the adjuster inspection. We document every safely accessible roof plane, including the back slope.

For Johnston homeowners going through an insurance claim, we document every impact with photos and measurements you can share with your insurance company. That construction record gives the homeowner and carrier clear evidence to evaluate. Because we're Iowa-local and have a 36-year track record here. Not a storm-chasing crew that disappears after the check clears. Our workmanship warranty actually gets honored.

Emergency tarping may be available the same day across Johnston. Our trucks run out of Runnells and Des Moines, so Johnston is a 15-20 minute drive. Call (515) 967-8199 or request a free storm inspection online.
