Gutters, Siding & Windows in Altoona
Altoona got its name from the Latin word altus, meaning high, because it was the highest point on the Des Moines Valley Railroad between Des Moines and Keokuk. Today it is known for Adventureland and Prairie Meadows, and it is the closest large town to our shop in Mitchellville. That puts it close to home for our crew. When you call about a leaking gutter or a loose siding panel, help is not far away.
Altoona grew by about 35 percent from 2010 to 2020, going from 14,541 people to 19,565. Growth like that brings a lot of homes, rentals and small businesses that all need water handled right. We hang seamless gutters on hidden hangers, fit guards, and replace siding, soffit, fascia, windows and doors. Read our page on gutter guards in Altoona if leaves are your main headache.
Southeast Polk families and busy weekends
Altoona is a Polk County city in the Southeast Polk school district, and its kids go on to Southeast Polk High School. Between ballgames, Haines Park and the Sam Wise Youth Complex, nobody in Altoona wants to spend a Saturday on a ladder. That is the case for leaf guards. A micro-mesh guard keeps maple seeds and leaves out, and the water keeps moving into the downspout. We install LeafFX and Gutter Topper leaf protection along with mesh guards.
Trails, trees and gutter cleanouts
The Gay Lea Wilson Trail links Altoona with Pleasant Hill and Des Moines, and trails like that follow creeks lined with trees. Iowa State University Extension says silver maple is the most common native maple in Iowa, and cottonwood seeds fly from May through August. Both end up in your gutters. If you are not ready for guards, our gutter cleaning crew will clear the troughs, flush the downspouts and tell you what else needs attention.
Siding and windows on Altoona homes
Gutters are only half the job when water has been running down a wall for a while. We look at the fascia board, soffit and siding behind the gutter. If the boards are soft, we replace them before the new gutter goes up. If your Altoona siding is faded, cracked or hail-dented, we re-side in vinyl or LP SmartSide over fresh house wrap. Drafty windows get Alside or Marvin replacements with a low U-factor for Iowa winters.
