About exteriors in Des Moines.

Des Moines has the most varied home stock in our service area. Sherman Hill's 1880s–1910s Victorian and Italianate homes sit a few blocks from East Village's converted warehouses and infill new construction. Beaverdale is dense with 1920s–40s brick Tudors and Cape Cods. South of Grand and Waveland Park run heavy to 1920s–30s revival-style homes on tree-lined streets. Highland Park and Merle Hay shift to mid-century ranches. Downtown loft conversions sit above the river. Every era of central-Iowa residential architecture is in Des Moines somewhere.

— Local conditions

Des Moines is its own thing.

Older neighborhoods mean older glazing — Sherman Hill and Beaverdale homes often have original storm windows that need separate handling on a window-cleaning visit. North-facing siding in heavily-treed neighborhoods (Drake, South of Grand, Beaverdale) builds significant algae and mildew streaking within two to three years of last soft wash; we see this most on west and north walls. Downtown homes carry more urban soot and traffic grime on the lower courses of siding than suburban properties. Historic preservation review applies to visible exterior changes in Sherman Hill, Owls Head, and a few other designated districts — exterior cleaning is universally permitted without HPC review, but worth noting if anyone tells you otherwise. Autumn leaf load in Beaverdale and Drake is the heaviest in our service area thanks to mature oak and maple canopy.

Scheduling note: Des Moines Arts Festival (late June) and World Food & Music Festival (mid-September) shift downtown traffic patterns — we route around them on those weekends.
