Siding Installation and Repair in Ankeny
Cracked panels after a hailstorm, faded walls on the sunny side, soft trim by the garage. We replace and repair siding in Ankeny with vinyl and LP SmartSide, and we tie it into your gutters and trim so water stays out.
New siding and siding repair for Ankeny homes
A siding problem usually starts small. One cracked piece by the patio, a corner that rattles in the wind, a strip of trim gone soft near the ground. Left alone, water gets behind it and the wall sheathing takes the damage. In Ankeny we get called for both kinds of job: a few panels after a storm, or a whole house that is ready for a fresh look.
We install vinyl siding and LP SmartSide lap siding and trim, plus aluminum and vinyl soffit and fascia. On a full job we strip the old siding, check the sheathing, put up house wrap and flashing tape around windows and doors, then run new J-channel, corners and laps. See our siding installation and repair page, or compare materials in LP SmartSide vs vinyl siding.
Our shop is in Mitchellville, also on the east side of Polk County, so Ankeny is close to home. Luke does every estimate himself. He will measure, look over the trim and gutters, and lay out your options, and you can ask him about other materials too. Call (515) 901-3646 or text a few photos to get started.

Siding and Ankeny weather
After the 2026 hail
Hail reports from Ankeny this year include quarter-size stones on March 30, 2026 and a 2.25-inch report on September 8, 2026. Vinyl can crack or hole from hail like that, and painted trim can chip. We can walk the house with you, mark what we find and give you a written estimate you can use. Iowa law keeps contractors out of your insurance claim, so the claim stays between you and your insurer.
Matching siding in a fast-growing city
Ankeny has grown quickly around landmarks like the DMACC Ankeny campus, which opened in 1967, and John Deere Des Moines Works, which began as a World War II ordnance plant. On a street of similar houses, a repair has to blend in. If your siding profile is still made, we match it. If it is not, we talk through options, like re-siding one full wall so the change lands at a corner instead of mid-wall.
Permits and paperwork in Ankeny
The City of Ankeny's Community Development department handles building permits, and its permit guidelines page sorts handouts by project type. Rules for re-siding can depend on the wall and what is behind it, so check with the city before work starts. We will share what we know and plan the job around whatever the city requires, so nothing surprises you halfway through.

Can you replace just a few hail-damaged siding panels in Ankeny?
Often, yes. If the profile and color are still made, we pull the damaged pieces and weave in new ones. Older or faded siding may not match exactly, so we hold a sample against the wall before you decide. If a match is not possible, we talk about re-siding one full side.
Do I need a permit for new siding in Ankeny?
Check with the City of Ankeny Community Development department before work starts. Requirements can depend on the wall, the sheathing and the scope of the job, and we will not guess for you. We plan the work around what the city tells you and keep any paperwork with the job file.
Is LP SmartSide or vinyl a better fit for an Ankeny house?
Neither is right for every house. Vinyl is low upkeep and comes in a wide range of colors. LP SmartSide is an engineered wood product with a deeper, wood-like lap. Luke can bring samples of both to your kitchen table and talk through looks, upkeep and how each handles hail.
Should I replace gutters when I re-side my Ankeny home?
It is often the easiest time. The gutters come down anyway when the fascia and trim are redone. Doing both in one job means the new gutters hang on fresh fascia and the downspouts line up with the new siding. We price them as separate lines so you can choose.
