Your Trusted Exterior Contractor in Grimes, Iowa
Grimes continues to grow rapidly, and new homeowners need trusted contractors they can count on. Whether you are in the South Lakes area or along SE Gateway Drive, Black Ridge delivers quality roofing, siding, gutter, and concrete services to Grimes families.
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 Grimes or anywhere else in Central Iowa.
Grimes is one of Iowa's fastest-growing cities, and it is easy to see why. Neighborhoods are going up along SE Gateway Drive, near the Jesse James Farm area, and north of the I-80 corridor at an incredible pace. All that new construction is great for the community, but it also means a lot of brand-new homes with unfinished basements just waiting to be turned into real living space. If you bought a new-build in Grimes and your basement is still bare concrete walls and an open ceiling, our basement finishing crew can transform it into a family room, home theater, gym, or extra bedrooms. Whatever your family needs.
Here is something else we see all the time in Grimes: homeowners who have been in their new home for three to five years and are ready to upgrade the builder-grade finishes. The laminate countertops and basic cabinets that came with the house looked fine on move-in day, but they do not hold up the way you want them to. That is where our kitchen remodeling service comes in. We replace those builder basics with quality countertops, custom cabinets, and durable flooring that match how you actually live. A lot of Grimes homeowners also want interior painting to personalize their space, and builders tend to use the same neutral paint on every wall, and fresh colors make a house feel like yours.
On the exterior side, Grimes homes need solid roofing and siding that can stand up to Iowa storms. Even newer roofs can take hail damage, and our team handles everything from inspections to full replacements. We also do a lot of concrete work in Grimes, from new patios for backyard entertaining, expanded driveways for growing families, and sidewalks that connect it all. Gutters are important too, especially on new construction where the grading around the foundation is still settling. Proper gutter installation and gutter guards keep water flowing away from your home instead of pooling where it should not be.

Grimes's Roofing Contractor. Here's What Homeowners Actually Need to Know.
Grimes sits on the northwest edge of the metro and has grown fast, with waves of subdivisions along NW 141st Street and off Highway 141. Housing stock skews toward 2000s to 2020s new builds with a smaller core of older homes near historic downtown. Most Grimes roofs are original builder-grade asphalt shingles, and the earlier waves (early 2000s) are now hitting the 20-to-25-year replacement window. Newer 2015+ subdivisions are typically still fine.
Grimes sits in the north metro storm belt. June 2023 brought a significant hail event through the north metro and Grimes was squarely in the track. Roofs that looked fine from the ground had extensive bruising on shingles and dented soft-metal fixtures on vents, flashing, and gutters. If a storm hit your neighborhood, get an inspection scheduled while the damage is fresh. See our storm damage roof repair process, or schedule a free inspection.
The typical Grimes roof job runs $8,000 to $15,000 for a standard asphalt shingle replacement. Larger custom builds along Waukee-Grimes school district corridor or steeper pitches push higher. Grimes requires a building permit for roof replacement and requires proper contractor licensing. We pull the permit for you. Read the full roof replacement process.
Sometimes a repair is the right call. If your Grimes roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized, we quote the repair. Common jobs: failed vent boots on early-2000s builds, chimney flashing, missing shingles after wind, small leaks around dormers. See the full list of roof repair jobs we handle.

Yes. June 2023 brought a significant hail event through the north metro and Grimes was squarely in the storm track. Hundreds of Grimes homes filed insurance claims from that event.
