The program is open to homeowners facing financial hardship or extenuating circumstances who can’t afford the roof repairs they need.

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.

Our plans cover scheduled inspections, cleaning, gutter checks, sealing, minor repairs, and a clear report after every visit. You’ll also enjoy member benefits like priority scheduling and savings on larger projects in the future. We’re happy to walk you through the plan options so you can choose the one that fits your home and budget best—with no fine print and no surprises.

It’s simple. Just reach out to our team, and we’ll get you set up with care. We’ll review your roof’s current condition, recommend the right plan for your needs, and schedule your first visit at a time that works for you.

We offer a range of flexible financing plans designed to fit different budgets and project sizes, from roof replacements to full exterior restoration.

Start by scheduling a free inspection with our team. We’ll carefully examine your roof for damage, including the kind that’s hard to spot from the ground, and explain exactly what we find in plain language. From there, we’ll walk you through your options from start to finish. Many homeowners tell us we took the stress right out of the process, and that’s exactly our goal.

We combine expert craftsmanship with a sincere commitment to serving people well.

With First Fruits, you get dependable service and a team that genuinely cares.

A few clear signs point to replacement. If you feel drafts, notice rising energy bills, struggle to open or close your windows, or see condensation forming between the panes, it’s likely time for an upgrade. Older single-pane windows also let in far more heat and cold than modern options. We’re happy to take a look and give you an honest assessment, so you can decide what’s right for your home with confidence.
