Your Trusted Exterior Contractor in Carlisle, Iowa

Carlisle may be smaller, but its homeowners deserve the same quality of work as any Des Moines suburb. We bring full-service roofing, siding, gutter, and concrete work to Carlisle families — with the same free estimates, honest pricing, and clean job sites we are known for.

We handle your home inside and out: roofing, siding, gutters, concrete, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, and interior painting. Every project comes with a free estimate, honest pricing, and a clean job site. That is the Black Ridge promise — whether you are in Carlisle or anywhere else in Central Iowa.

Carlisle is a small, tight-knit community south of Des Moines along Highway 5, and the people here take pride in their homes. The housing stock ranges from older homes built in the 1960s through the 1990s to some newer development on the edges of town. Those older homes often need a full exterior overhaul — and that is exactly what we do best. When your roof, siding, and gutters all need replacing at the same time, it makes sense to work with one contractor who can handle the entire project. We coordinate the work so everything gets done efficiently, and you end up with a home that looks brand new from the curb.

Inside Carlisle's older homes, bathrooms from the 1970s and 1980s are one of the most common remodel targets we see. Outdated tile, old fixtures, and cramped layouts can all be transformed with a bathroom remodel that brings in modern materials and smarter design. Kitchen remodeling is popular too — swapping out old cabinets and worn countertops for something that fits how families actually cook and gather today. And interior painting goes a long way in these homes, brightening up rooms and giving the whole space a modern, updated feel without a major renovation.

Concrete is another area where Carlisle homeowners need help. The front steps and stoops on older homes often crack over time and can become a real safety hazard — especially in the winter when ice makes uneven surfaces even more dangerous. We tear out the old concrete and pour new steps, sidewalks, driveways, and patios that are built to hold up for decades. Basement finishing is a smart investment in Carlisle too, adding livable square footage to your home without the cost of an addition. Whether you need one project or want to tackle your whole house inside and out, Black Ridge Contracting treats every Carlisle home like it is our own.
