Gutters, Siding & Windows in Clive, IA
Clive is known for its Greenbelt Park and trail system. Our crew works here as part of our normal run, fixing the gutters, soffit, fascia and siding that keep Iowa weather off your house.
Gutters, Siding & Windows in Clive
Clive began as a coal mining town and a railroad shipping point, platted in 1882. The 1882 depot has been restored, and the 1911 Swanson House beside it is home to the Clive Historical Society. The city did not incorporate until August 18, 1956. Whatever year your house went up, the roof edge fails in familiar ways: gutters full of leaves, fascia boards soft from years of overflow, and soffit vents clogged or torn.
We work in Clive all the time. The city sits in Polk and Dallas counties, and our crew covers both from our shop in Mitchellville. Luke will come out, look over the gutters, soffit and fascia, and talk you through what needs fixing now and what can wait. The estimate is free. Call or text (515) 901-3646.
Living near the Greenbelt
Clive's Greenbelt Park and trail system runs right through the community, and if your house in Clive backs up to the trees along it, your gutters probably fill faster than you would like. A micro-mesh gutter guard lets water in while leaves, seeds and twigs stay on top. For homes where guards are not the answer, we also clean gutters and flush the downspouts.
Rotted fascia behind old gutters
When a gutter overflows for years, the fascia board behind it soaks up water and starts to rot. Hangers lose their bite and the gutter sags, which makes the overflow worse. In Clive we replace soft fascia, wrap or cover it, add vented aluminum or vinyl soffit where the attic needs air, and then hang new seamless gutters on hidden hangers. See our soffit and fascia page.
Vinyl or LP SmartSide
For a house in Clive, the siding choice usually comes down to two materials. Vinyl is light, low upkeep and comes in many colors. LP SmartSide is an engineered wood lap with a deeper look that takes paint. Both go on over house wrap with flashing tape at every window. Our guide on LP SmartSide vs. vinyl siding lays out the trade-offs.

What gutter guard works for a Clive home that backs up to the Greenbelt?
For houses under heavy tree cover, a fine micro-mesh guard works well, because it stops small seeds and bits of leaf as well as whole leaves. It slides under the shingles and fastens to the gutter, so it stays put in wind. Luke can show you LeafFX and Gutter Topper on his visit.
Can you replace rotted fascia when you put new gutters on in Clive?
Yes, and we would rather do it then. Hanging new gutters on a soft fascia board means the hangers will not hold for long. We pull the old gutter, replace any rotted board, cover the fascia, and then hang the new seamless gutter. Luke will point out any soft spots when he visits.
Does Clive require a permit for new siding?
We have not confirmed Clive's rules, and each city sets its own. In the City of Des Moines, some residing jobs are exempt, but that does not apply in Clive. Call the City of Clive before work begins and ask. If the job touches sheathing or framing, ask about that too.
