Roof Repair & Replacement in Altoona, IA
Every roof eventually reaches the question of whether to repair it or replace it. We inspect your Altoona home at no cost and give you a straight answer based on what we find on your roof, with a clear plan and no pressure to buy more than you need.
Roof Repair
Repair is often the right call when the damage is limited: a section of missing or creased shingles after a windstorm, a leak around a chimney, vent, or skylight, worn flashing, or isolated hail bruising. We match your existing materials as closely as possible and fix the problem at its source so water stops working its way in. If you have an active leak, our emergency repair crew can protect your home until permanent repairs are complete.
Roof Replacement
Replacement is usually the better investment when the damage is widespread, the roof is near the end of its service life, or repeated repairs are costing more than they save. Our in-house crew handles the full project, from tear-off and deck inspection to new underlayment, flashing, installation, and a thorough cleanup with a final walkthrough.
Roofing Materials We Install on Altoona Homes
Brava
SyntheticBrava recreates cedar shake, Spanish barrel tile, and slate in a synthetic material that won't rot, split, curl, or absorb water. You get the character and texture of a premium roof without the weight, the cost, or the ongoing upkeep those materials usually demand. Available in a wide range of colors, and a strong fit for homes with distinctive architecture.
Decra
ShakeDecra makes stone-coated steel roofing that gives you the look of cedar shake or clay tile with the strength of steel underneath. We install the Shingle XD, Shake, and Shake XD profiles, all built to handle Iowa hail and wind while staying light enough for most existing structures. If you want a roof you can stop thinking about, this is one of the longest-lasting options we offer.
Owens Corning
AsphaltAs an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we install their Duration, Designer, and Flex shingle lines. Duration is our go-to for durability and wind resistance, Designer brings dimensional color options, and Flex handles tighter installations. If your home currently has 3-tab shingles, restoration work includes a free upgrade to Duration.
Customer Reviews

They were very responsive when I reached out. They worked around my schedule, showed up when they said they would be there. Very nice and did excellent work in a timely manner.
The First Fruits crew was quick, professional and courteous!. Service was completed in less than a day with an amazing clean up. The owners were knowledgeable with a great deal of experience. I love using local companies and small businesses, especially with a Christian base.
First Fruits has been an answer to prayer. They came out and took care of my issue quickly. They did an excellent job. I will being using them for all my home needs. They have honesty, integrity, and truly desire to be a blessing to others! Thank you Zack!
First Fruits put a new roof on our home a week ago and it was a delightful experience. Not only was the sales person Carly friendly and knowledgeable, but the entire team showed respect, interest, and care during the entire process. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. Five out of five stars…… if I could give them more, I sure would🤗
On a personal note, I appreciate how respectful of my wife and I Derrick was. I'm sure it took some courage to approach our little queer household as a Christian company, but I am glad that he did. He and his company embody the values of kindness and loving thy neighbor, and that is something we needed to see and be reminded of in these times, so thank you.
We are so grateful for the team at First Fruits Construction! When we needed new siding after a tornado, we checked into a few siding companies. If you’re looking for siding in Des Moines, save yourself some time and call First Fruits Construction first!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Altoona?
Permit requirements in Altoona are set by the City of Altoona Building Department and can change as ordinances are updated. Work that involves structural changes requires a permit, and all permits must be issued before work begins. Before your project starts, our team confirms what your specific roof requires, so you don’t have to sort it out yourself.
What does the inspection process look like?
Think of it as a health check for your home. One of our experienced team members comes out, takes a careful look at your exterior, and explains everything we find in simple, straightforward terms. You’ll get honest advice and a simple plan to keep your home strong and looking great. From there, the choice is always yours—we’re here to educate, not pressure.
What roofing materials hold up best to Iowa weather?
We install Owens Corning shingles, Decra stone-coated steel, Brava synthetic roofing, and custom-fabricated standing seam metal. Each is built to handle hail, wind, and freeze-thaw cycles. The best fit depends on your budget, your home’s style, and how long you plan to stay.
Do you offer roof financing?
Yes. We offer financing options to help Altoona homeowners spread out the cost of a new roof.
How often does my roof need maintenance?
For most homes, a professional checkup once or twice a year is ideal, usually in spring and fall. Iowa weather can be hard on a roof, so regular visits help it recover from summer storms and winter freeze-thaw cycles. With a First Fruits Maintenance Plan, we keep track of the timing for you, so it’s one less thing on your mind.
