Iowa’s Storm Season Doesn’t Wait — Neither Should You

Central Iowa sits in one of the most severe weather corridors in the country. From late March through August, Des Moines metro homeowners deal with hail, straight-line winds, and multi-day storm complexes nearly every year. In 2026 alone, six major storm events have hit Central Iowa — including 2.75″ hail in West Des Moines, 88 mph winds across Urbandale and Clive, and a three-night severe outbreak that stripped siding and punctured roofs across Ankeny, Johnston, and Waukee.

The problem is that the worst damage hides. Shingle fractures, granule loss, and seal-strip failure don’t show from the ground — but they shorten your roof’s life and void its protection against the next storm. That’s why every Superstorm evaluation includes an HD drone flight that documents what you can’t see from a ladder.

HD Drone Documentation for Your Insurance Company

Every Superstorm evaluation includes a complete HD drone flight — capturing close-up imagery of every roof facet, flashing transition, and damage point from angles you’ll never see from a ladder.

We provide the detailed documentation and evaluation data homeowners need when working directly with their insurance company, though we are not public adjusters. This includes time-stamped aerial photography, written damage assessments, and scope-of-work estimates that insurance adjusters recognize and accept.

Many of the top 10 insurance carriers in Iowa already know and accept our work — we’re a vetted and preferred contractor for several of them.

What Happens After You Call

Why Central Iowa Homeowners Choose Superstorm After a Storm

After every major storm, out-of-state contractors flood Central Iowa. They knock on doors, offer fast quotes, and disappear when warranty work is needed. Our headquarters at 475 SE Alices Rd in Waukee has been here since 2012. We’re not driving in from Omaha or Kansas City — we’re already down the road.

Owner Chandler Steffy has been in construction since 1997 and formally established Superstorm Roofing & Siding in 2012. As a former Owens Corning National Platinum Advisory Board member — one of just 13 contractors selected nationally — Chandler has shaped roofing industry standards at the national level. That experience shows in every evaluation we deliver and every roof we install.

Impact-Resistant Shingles: Prevent the Next Storm’s Damage

If your roof needs replacement after storm damage, don’t just replace what you had — upgrade. We install Owens Corning Duration FLEX Class 4 impact-resistant shingles that are engineered to withstand the hail Central Iowa throws at your home. Class 4 is the highest impact rating available, and many Iowa insurance carriers offer premium discounts of up to 20% when you install them. That discount can pay for the upgrade within a few years — while protecting your home from the next storm.

Three Warranties — Not One

When you choose Superstorm, your roof is backed by three distinct layers of protection: Owens Corning’s 50-year non-prorated material warranty, Owens Corning’s 25-year labor warranty (available only through Platinum Preferred contractors), and Superstorm’s own 10-year workmanship warranty. No other Central Iowa roofer matches this combination.

Storm Damage Repair Questions

How do I know if my roof has storm damage?

Look for missing or cracked shingles, dents in gutters or downspouts, granule buildup at the base of downspouts, and water stains on interior ceilings. But the most dangerous damage — sub-surface mat fractures and seal-strip failure — doesn’t show from the ground. That’s why every Superstorm evaluation includes an HD drone flight. Our inspections are always free, and you keep the report no matter what. Learn what hail does to a roof →

Should I get my roof inspected even if I don’t see visible damage?

Yes. Hail fractures hide under shingles. Wind lifts seal strips without tearing them visibly. A professional evaluation with drone documentation catches what a visual scan from the ground misses — and gives you a baseline record for future storms. We’ve inspected over 14,500 properties across Central Iowa. Call (515) 225-4880 to schedule yours.

Can you help with insurance claims for storm damage?

We provide the detailed documentation and evaluation data homeowners need when working directly with their insurance company, though we are not public adjusters. This includes HD drone photography, written damage assessments, and scope-of-work estimates. Many of the top 10 insurance carriers in Iowa already know and accept our documentation.

How soon should I get storm damage repaired?

As soon as possible. Cracked shingles become leaks within weeks. Leaks cause mold, wood rot, and electrical hazards — all of which cost far more than the original repair. Most Iowa insurance policies require claims within one year of the damage, so documenting the damage promptly protects both your home and your filing window.

What if you inspect and find no damage?

That’s a good day. We’ll tell you your roof is in good shape, give you the drone report as a baseline for future comparison, and check back after the next storm season. There is no cost for the evaluation and no obligation to do anything. We’d rather tell you the truth than sell you a roof you don’t need — that’s how we’ve maintained a 4.9-star rating across hundreds of reviews.
