Waukee grew up fast, and you can see it in the rooftops: two-story vinyl-and-brick homes in subdivisions off University Avenue and Highway 6, newer builds near the Waukee Community School District campuses, and older farmhouses out toward the county line. Most of these roofs are architectural shingles, and after a few Iowa hail seasons they start to show it.
We are Des Moines Metal Roofing, and we work Waukee (50263) every week. Homeowners call us when their shingles are getting chewed up by hail, when wind peels back a ridge cap, or when they are ready to stop replacing asphalt every 15 years. We install standing seam and stone-coated steel that stand up to the same storms that roll across Dallas County.
Metal Roofing in Waukee (50263)
Waukee sits on gently rolling ground with heavy black prairie soil, and that matters for roofing. Newer subdivisions off Ashworth Road and Southeast Waukee Boulevard have tight lots with mature landscaping, so we plan panel staging and dumpster placement carefully to avoid ruts and damaged shrubs. The grade on some of the walkout lots near the Waukee trails means we are often working off ladders on a slope, not a flat driveway. And because most of these homes are 10 to 25 years old, we frequently find the original shingles are at the end of their life while the decking underneath is still solid, which makes a metal roof over shingles a practical option.
Our team has installed and repaired metal roofs across the Des Moines metro, from the older neighborhoods in Beaverdale and Sherman Hill to the newer subdivisions in Waukee, Urbandale, and Ankeny. We know how hail hits here, how ice dams form at the eaves, and how fast a spring derecho can peel back a poorly fastened panel.

How a Job Works in Waukee
Step 1: You call (515) 461-7188 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment, usually within a few days, and walk the roof with you. We check fasteners, seams, flashing, and attic ventilation, and we give you a written scope with pricing before any work starts.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the roofing permit through the City of Waukee building department and coordinate any HOA design review if your subdivision requires it. On install day we protect landscaping, stage materials on the driveway or street per city rules, and keep the site secure. For a typical Waukee subdivision home, a standing seam or stone-coated steel install takes several days depending on roof complexity and weather.
Step 3: We clean up completely, magnet-sweep the yard and driveway for nails, and walk the finished roof with you. We do not leave until you have seen the work, understand the warranty, and have our contact info for any follow-up.
Pricing in Waukee depends on roof size, pitch, access, and the condition of the existing roof. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts around $8 per square foot, standing seam starts around $10, metal roof replacement starts around $9, and a retrofit over existing shingles starts around $7. Smaller jobs like metal roof repair or leak repair start around $450, screw replacement and re-fastening starts around $750, and flashing or chimney repair starts around $600. Stone-coated steel and metal shingle roofs start around $9 per square foot. Every roof is different, so we give you a firm written estimate after we see the property.
