Storm & Hail Damage in Urbandale, Iowa

Urbandale stretches from the older central grid near Living History Farms all the way west past 156th Street into the newer subdivisions, and the storm damage patterns change every few miles. The older Urbandale ranches from the 1960s and 70s have short, aging roofs that hail cracks cleanly through. The newer west-side homes have larger, more exposed roof surfaces that catch wind uplift from every Iowa storm that rolls across the open fields to the north.

Bakeris Roofing has been roofing Urbandale since 1990. We've worked on homes near Walnut Creek, along the Meredith Drive corridor, in the older neighborhoods off 86th Street, and in every new development that has gone up west of 128th. The August 2020 derecho and a string of hail events from 2022 through 2024 left thousands of Urbandale roofs with unresolved storm damage.

What makes Urbandale storm inspections tricky is the sheer range of roof ages across the city. A 1970s ranch on Aurora Avenue has completely different failure modes than a 2020 two-story in the far western neighborhoods. We inspect for hail bruising on the field shingles, wind-lift along the ridges and rakes, gutter apron dents (which tell us the direction and severity of the hail), and soft-metal damage on turbine vents, A/C fins, and flashing. All findings are documented with photos for your insurance file.

We handle the insurance claim process end-to-end for Urbandale homeowners. We'll meet your adjuster on site, walk the roof with them, and protect your scope of work. Because we're a 36-year local contractor — not a storm chaser passing through — our workmanship warranty is tied to the house and stays honored for decades, not days.

Emergency tarping is available same-day across Urbandale. Call (515) 967-8199 or request a free inspection.
