Gutters, Siding & Windows in Ankeny, IA
Ankeny is one of the fastest-growing cities in Iowa, and its homes need gutters, siding and windows that keep up. Our family crew works in Ankeny often and is close to home here.
Gutters, Siding & Windows in Ankeny
Few cities in Iowa have grown like Ankeny. It counted 67,887 people in 2020 and an estimated 77,833 in 2025, which makes it the fifth-largest city in the state. The city sits in north-central Polk County with Interstate 35 along its east side, and it is close to home for our crew. Big new roofs, big new yards and a lot of rain mean gutters and downspouts have real work to do here, and we build them to handle it.
Luke runs every estimate. He measures the roof, checks the pitch and outlets, and tells you plainly whether your gutters can carry the water or need to go to 6-inch. We hang seamless gutters in Ankeny, fit guards and add downspouts. We also install siding in Ankeny, windows, doors and egress windows, and we frame decks and 3-season rooms. Call or text (515) 901-3646.
From the Deere works to Prairie Trail
Ankeny was founded in 1875 by John Fletcher and Sarah Ankeny. A World War II ordnance plant here became a John Deere factory in 1947, and Deere still employs about 1,900 people there. In 2005 Iowa State sold its old research land to the city, and it became the Prairie Trail district. If your home came with the gutters the builder hung, it pays to check that they are big enough for the roof.
Ankeny storms and big roofs
In June 1974 an F4 tornado struck Ankeny, killing two people and injuring 50. Most storms are smaller, but hail and wind still dent gutters and crack siding. A large two-story roof can dump more water in a summer downpour than a 5-inch gutter carries, so it spills over the front edge. Moving to 6-inch gutters and 4-inch round downspouts fixes that. After a storm we can give you a written estimate you can use with your insurer.
Check with Ankeny before you build
The City of Ankeny's building permit handout lists decks and egress windows among work that needs a permit, along with repair from fire and natural damage. It also says a permit is needed for construction that changes or adds structure. If you are adding a deck or cutting in an egress window for a basement bedroom, call the city's building office first. Luke will plan the job around what the city asks for.

More about our work in Ankeny
Should I upgrade to 6-inch gutters on my Ankeny house?
If water pours over the front of your gutters in a hard rain, often yes. A big two-story roof in Ankeny sends a lot of water to each outlet, and a 6-inch gutter with 4-inch round downspouts carries much more than a 5-inch one. Luke will measure your roof and tell you plainly on a free estimate.
Do I need a permit for an egress window in Ankeny, Iowa?
The City of Ankeny's building permit handout lists egress windows among work that needs a permit, along with decks and structural remodeling. Check with the city's building office before work starts. We install egress windows and wells and will plan the job around what Ankeny asks for. Call or text (515) 901-3646.
Does Flow Right install gutter guards in Ankeny?
Yes. We install LeafFX and Gutter Topper leaf protection and fine mesh guards on Ankeny homes. Mesh keeps out maple seeds and leaves so the gutter keeps draining. Guards do not stop ice dams, and Luke will tell you that up front. Call or text (515) 901-3646 for a free estimate.
