Stop Juggling Three Contractors After One Storm
When a storm moves through Ankeny, it seldom stops at the shingles. Hail and wind can crack siding, break window glass and dent gutters in the same few minutes. One Legacy project manager runs the whole exterior job, so roofing, siding, windows and doors are scheduled together and fit together.
Hail Hit Ankeny Three Times in 2026.
Is Your Roof Hiding Damage?
On the evening of September 8, 2026, a storm dropped hail up to 2.25 inches, about the size of a tennis ball, near the center of Ankeny. Spotters reported ping-pong-ball hail just east of town and golf-ball hail near Bondurant, and one trained spotter noted siding damage (NWS Des Moines reports via Hail.org). It was Ankeny’s third hail day this year, after quarter-size hail on March 30 and April 17 (StormerSite). Hail like this can crack shingles and dent siding and gutters in places you can’t see from the ground. Because our team is based in town, we can inspect your roof quickly after storms like these.
Emergency Stabilization
When hail or wind punches through shingles, cracks a window or tears siding loose, water can reach your attic, insulation and drywall within hours. Our Ankeny crew moves fast to tarp the roof, board up broken glass and seal any openings so the next rain doesn’t add to the problem. Then we inspect your whole exterior and give you a clear, written plan for repairs.
Insurance Support
An insurance claim can feel like a second job when your home is already damaged. We photograph and measure every damaged area, prepare an itemized estimate your insurer can review, and meet your adjuster at your home so nothing is overlooked. Afterward, we explain the adjuster’s findings in plain language and keep you updated until the work is done. The decisions on your claim stay between you and your insurer.
Before You Sign Anything After a Storm.
Out-of-town storm crews can be knocking on Ankeny doors within days of a hailstorm, pushing you to sign on the spot. A rushed signature can put your claim, your deductible and your roof in the wrong hands. Protect yourself first:
- Never accept a deductible deal. Iowa law bars contractors from promising to pay, waive or rebate your insurance deductible (Iowa Code § 103A.71). If they do, the contract is void.
- Look for the required notice. For storm repair, Iowa requires contractors to give you a signed "Notice of Contract Obligations and Rights" before or when you sign. No notice is a red flag.
- Check the registration. Search any contractor in the Iowa contractor registration lookup. It takes about a minute.
- Don't hand over your claim. Iowa law doesn't allow a roofing or exterior contractor to negotiate your insurance claim for you.
- Track incoming storms with the National Weather Service, Des Moines office, which covers Polk County.
What Ankeny Weather Is Doing to Your Home
Ankeny homes take hail and straight-line wind every spring and summer, and a lot of the city’s roofs are reaching the age where storms do the most harm.
19
Hail Reports in 2026
Spotters and residents logged 19 hail reports within 10 miles of Ankeny this year, up from just 2 in all of 2025. Six came from the September 8 storm alone, including tennis-ball hail in town. Hail damage often hides in bruised shingles and dented flashing you can’t see from the ground. A free inspection tells you whether you have a claim, and we help you document it for your insurer.
61%
Ankeny Homes Built Since 2000
About 61% of homes in the Ankeny school district were built in 2000 or later. Three-tab shingles last about 20 years and architectural shingles about 30, so many roofs from Ankeny’s early building boom are reaching the end of their life. If your roof is original to a 2000s home, have it checked before the next hail season.
28%
Increase in Premiums
Iowa homeowners’ insurance premiums rose 28% in 2025, the third-largest increase in the country, as hail and severe storms drove up claims. Some insurers now cover roofs in hail-prone areas at depreciated value instead of full replacement cost, which can leave you paying more after a storm. A free inspection shows where your roof stands before the next claim.
Ankeny Permits, Handled for You
The City of Ankeny handles permits through Development Services at 1210 NW Prairie Ridge Drive (515-963-3550), and applications go through the city’s Ankeny One Stop online portal. Ankeny enforces the 2024 International Residential Code, which requires an ice barrier at the eaves and a full tear-off when a roof already has two layers (City of Ankeny reroof guidance).
Legacy confirms what your re-roof, siding or window project needs, submits any permit through the portal and schedules inspections. If your home is in Bondurant, Polk City or unincorporated Polk County, we check that jurisdiction’s rules instead.

Roofing That Stands Up to Iowa Hail
Hail damage rarely looks like much from the driveway. A few dark spots, granules in the gutters or a dented vent cap can mean bruised shingles that start leaking a season or two later, often after the window to file a claim has closed.
Â
We inspect the whole roof system, including decking, flashing, ventilation and the ice barrier at the eaves, then install impact-resistant and standard shingle options built for central Iowa storms. We handle the Ankeny permit, so you don’t have to.
Siding That Shrugs Off Hail and Holds In Heat
Vinyl siding that’s cracked, chipped or punched through by hail does more than hurt curb appeal. Once panels split or loosen, water can reach the wall behind them, and cold air finds its way in all winter.
Â
We install durable siding over continuous insulation, which the Department of Energy notes cuts heat loss through the wall studs. Your home looks new, stays drier and feels warmer, and it’s ready for the next storm.
Windows That Cut Drafts and Energy Bills
Fog between the panes, sticky sashes or a chill near the glass on a January night mean your windows are costing you money. Builder-grade windows from the 2000s are often the first thing to go.
Â
Heat gain and loss through windows account for 25%–30% of residential heating and cooling energy use. We help you choose energy-efficient windows rated for Iowa’s hot summers and cold winters and seal them properly, so your rooms stay comfortable year-round.
Entry Doors That Seal Out the Weather
A drafty or warped entry door lets the wind in every time it blows, and a worn or dated door is the first thing guests and buyers notice.
Â
We replace tired exterior doors with ENERGY STAR certified models rated for Iowa’s climate zone. You pick the style and color, and we handle the fit, weatherstripping and trim for a tight seal that lasts.
