Roof Installation & Replacement in Des Moines

Mighty Dog Roofing’s Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Roof Installer

Des Moines roofs take a beating. Hailstorms, high winds, and the freeze-thaw cycles that work moisture under aging shingles every spring can push a roof past its limit faster than most homeowners expect. At Mighty Dog Roofing, we handle roof installation and roof replacement for residential homeowners throughout Des Moines and the surrounding area. Our local owner, Nick OHara, was born and raised in West Des Moines and runs this location personally, so every project has an accountable name behind it.

Not sure whether you need a repair or a full replacement? That’s exactly what our free inspection is for. We assess the roof, document what we find, and give you a clear recommendation before you make any decisions.

Ready to find out what’s going on with your roof? Call (844) 942-4081 to schedule your free inspection with no obligation to move forward.

Why Des Moines Homeowners Choose Mighty Dog Roofing

Mighty Dog Roofing is an Owens Corning Roofing Platinum Preferred Contractor, a designation awarded to a select group of contractors who meet the manufacturer’s highest standards for installation quality and customer satisfaction. That credential means your new roof may include both our five year workmanship warranty and the Owens Corning Platinum Protection Limited Warranty, which covers material defects and workmanship backed directly by the manufacturer.

We bring technology to every inspection. Drone technology lets us safely document steep or hard-to-reach roof sections with photos you can actually see, so there’s no guesswork about what’s up there. Before you select materials, our curb appeal visualizers let you compare shingle colors and profiles against a model of your home so the finished result isn’t a surprise.

A few more things that set our team apart:

• Single-provider exterior services: We handle roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and skylights, so you don’t need to coordinate multiple contractors for related work.
• Flexible financing options: Roof replacement is rarely in the budget. Financing can help spread the cost, especially when a storm makes the decision for you.
• Clear communication on every project: We show up when we say we will, keep you updated throughout the day, and clean up completely when we’re done.

Signs Your Des Moines Home May Need a New Roof

Some signs are easy to spot from the ground. Others show up inside the house first, or only after a professional gets eyes on the surface. Here’s what to watch for.

Exterior Warning Signs

Shingles that are curling, cracking, or missing across multiple areas are a clear signal. Granules collecting in your gutters or near downspouts mean the surface layer is breaking down. Dark patches, moss, or algae growth point to moisture sitting where it shouldn’t.

Interior Warning Signs

Water stains on ceilings or near light fixtures, peeling paint along the roofline, soft spots in the attic, or a musty smell after rain can all indicate a roof that’s no longer keeping water out. Iowa’s freeze-thaw cycles can push water under aging shingles around valleys, chimneys, and vents in ways that don’t show up until the damage is already spreading. Hail can bruise or crack shingle surfaces that look fine from a ladder.

When Replacement Makes More Sense Than Repair

If repairs have been recurring without lasting results, or damage is widespread rather than limited to one area, a full roof replacement typically delivers better long-term value. We document inspection findings with photos and drone views so you can see the condition of your roof for yourself before deciding which direction to go.

Our Roof Installation Process in Des Moines

We walk every homeowner through the same clear process from first call to final walkthrough.

Free inspection & proposal
We examine the roof surface, flashing, and attic spaces, then review photo documentation with you, including drone technology views on steep or complex sections. If a new roof installation is the right call, we prepare a written proposal that lays out the scope of work, materials, and pricing in plain language.

Material selection
Asphalt shingles are the most common choice for Des Moines homes, offering durability, a range of profiles, and performance suited to Iowa’s climate. Curb appeal visualizers let you compare shingle tones and styles on a model of your home before you commit.

Installation day
We set up protective coverings to safeguard your landscaping, siding, and walkways before tear-off begins. Old roofing materials come off, the decking is inspected, and any damaged sections are repaired. Ice and water barrier underlayment goes in at valleys and roof edges, followed by flashing and shingles. A site lead stays in communication with you throughout the day. Most residential projects are completed in one to two days.

Final walkthrough & cleanup
The crew performs thorough nail removal and cleanup across the property, then walks the finished roof with you, reviews the warranty documentation, and helps you feel confident in what was done and why.
