Terms of using this site

No. The figures on our service and cost pages are 2026 planning ranges for homes around Des Moines. What you actually pay is the written, itemized price you get after the roof is inspected. That price holds for the period printed on it, normally 30 days, and it only becomes an agreement once you say yes to it.

Independent roofing contractors we work with in the Des Moines area, each carrying general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Iowa doesn't issue a state roofing licence; contractors earning $2,000 or more a year in Iowa register with the Iowa Division of Labor. You're told which contractor is coming before anything is scheduled.

Replacements in Des Moines need a City building permit, and the suburbs each have a building department of their own. The permit for your address is applied for as part of the job and shows up as its own line on your price.

Repairs are paid when the work is finished, by card, check or bank transfer. Larger projects may call for a materials deposit, and if so the amount is printed on your written price. On insurance jobs, the timing of payments follows when your insurer releases funds.

No. Roofs are high, steep and slippery, and nothing on this site tells you to climb one, remove shingles, or work near power lines. We aren't responsible for injuries or damage from anyone attempting that.

We try hard to keep it right, but it's general information about roofing around Des Moines, not an inspection, an engineering finding, legal advice or an insurance coverage decision. Codes, permit rules and policies change, and the current versions from the city, the state and your insurer are what count.

Call (515) 420-1811 or write to hello@capitolroofco.com. We'd much rather answer a question before a job than argue about it after.
