Professional storm damage restoration serving Des Moines and surrounding areas.
A storm damages a building once and rains on it twice — the event, then the weather that follows through the opening it left. Storm damage restoration in Des Moines, Iowa closes that sequence: tarping tonight, extraction and drying this week, envelope repair and rebuild before the season’s next system crosses the metro.

The claim is won in the first 48 hours. The photos taken before the tarp, the moisture readings before the drying, the tarp invoice in the file — that’s what the adjuster pays from. The homeowner who cleans up first and calls later has a story; the one who calls first has a file. Storm season compresses everything — crews, adjusters, materials — and the documentation is the part that survives the rush.
Des Moines sits squarely in the derecho corridor — the 2020-class events that cross the whole metro in an hour, plus the June and July severe seasons that do the steady work cell by cell. The metro’s housing takes it in layers: century steep-slopes and masonry that shed wind until the flashing details fail, mid-century siding that unzips in 80-mph gusts, and the suburbs where builder-grade shingles age out exactly as the wind seasons peak. The commercial sector adds flat roofs that pond and membranes that split. And the tree canopy — mature, beautiful, and over every street — turns every severe season into a limb-impact season. The restoration that knows the metro tarps first and documents second.

The full chain from the gust to the finished room: emergency tarping and closure, water extraction where rain entered, structural drying, envelope repair (roof, siding, windows), and interior rebuild. Storm losses compound — the wind opens the envelope, the rain does the damage — so the restoration treats the building as one system, not two claims.
Same day, before the next weather system. The tarp that goes on tonight keeps the next rain out of an already-opened roof; the crew that arrives first documents the damage before it's disturbed. After major metro storms, crews work through the call list — the early calls get the fast closures.
Tarping $300 to $1,200; roof section repair $1,500 to $8,000; siding repair $500 to $4,000; interior drying and rebuild $2,000 to $20,000 by scope. Commercial and multi-unit losses quoted by scope.
