Rising Star / All Iowa Products
Bob Myers Knows If Your House Looks Good, He Looks Good
Rising Star Wholesale and All Iowa Products are located in the All Iowa Home
Center at 700 SE Oralabor Road in Ankeny. They have grown from five employees
in a 10,000-square-foot warehouse to 30 employees in a 100,000-square-foot
warehouse that was purchased a year ago and shared with Kinzler Companies, a
drywall and insulation wholesaler out of Ames. Myers decided to create the home
center after seeing similar centers in other parts of the country. Builders can help
their customers find the products they want in a one-stop atmosphere that includes
conference rooms for meeting with possible home buyers and for looking at
samples to make style and color selections easier on the buyer. Their offices offer
a variety of services available to the builder, from a 4th generation mason
company, Heck Stone Masonry, along with Pierce Roofing, winner of last year's
Ankeny Roofer of the Year. They also have Electric Wholesale, Ambiance Home
Décor, Turning Leaf Interiors, Cabinetry Showcase of Iowa, Ames/DM Home
Improvement, Kinzler Companies and Knight & Sons Landscaping.
Rising Star represents some of the leading vinyl manufacturers of exterior siding in
the business, Heartland Building Products, Variform Inc., Resource Materials
Corporation (RMC) and Wolverine/Certainteed Siding, to name a few. They also
represent Edco Steel Siding.
Vinyl siding is a mature product with 35 years of proven performance. In the U.S.,
it's the number one exterior product used with low maintenance and no painting.
Vinyl siding has 40 colors available and it can be made to replicate all types of
wood trims. One of the newest and most innovative products is Heartland's
CedarMax thermal siding. It's a great choice for the energy conscious new
construction and is guaranteed to save 20% on energy bills when used to re-side a
home. This product also has a 300% greater impact resistance than similar
products. When asked about Hardiplank or other fiber cement siding, Myers said,
"In my opinion, health issues on the safety of the product have yet to be answered.
Policy changes on installation have made warranty problems unpredictable and
homeowners largely unaware of the long term caulking and painting maintenance
required." Their regular customers include builders and remodelers in a territory
that covers all of central Iowa.
Rising Star also represents AFCO architectural columns, DeckLok vinyl decking,
railing, fencing and The Foundry manufactured shakes and shingles. Manufactured
products from these high-quality makers offer builders and homeowners what they
want – attractive looks, low maintenance and durability. DeckLok vinyl decking and
rails have the appearance of wood but require no painting, sealing or staining.
They also have a non-slip surface and the 100% virgin vinyl won't splinter. The
Foundry's shakes and shingles come from molds formed from wood products and
are available in 30 different colors. AFCO aluminum columns are load bearing and
require little to no maintenance. They are more impact resistant than wood and
come with a lifetime warranty.
Builders and remodelers want quality vinyl windows and Rising Star has an
exceptional product for them. The company represents Atrium Windows, which is
one of the oldest vinyl window companies. They make a very good line of windows
and doors for new construction and window replacement. Heartland Window
Company, a business unrelated to Heartland siding, manufactures replacement
windows in Iowa. Myers' customers have said they appreciate having a product
that is made locally.
Midwestern builders and remodelers have discovered the aesthetics of
manufactured stone over the last five years. All Iowa Stone is committed to
providing customers with the finest quality, most authentic manufactured stone
available for residential and commercial uses. All Iowa Stone works with four
major manufacturers of stone veneer products. This allows them to offer over 200
different styles, shapes and colors of stone products with a wide array of
accessories.
All Iowa Stone shows commitment to their customers by providing them with
quality products that are beautiful, functional and durable, as well a (sic) being cost
effective, all of which are backed by at least a 30 year warranty. Serving the Des
Moines Metro and surrounding areas with a range of approximately 100-120 miles,
All Iowa Stone delivers the stone to their customers and picks up returns when the
job is finished.
All Iowa Gutter was started to offer a more professional level of service than Myers
had found locally. All Iowa Gutter strives to meet builders' schedules and to
provide a wide selection of colors with matching roof edging. All Iowa Gutters' (sic)
color selection is the largest in the area and they are very competitively priced.
They have five gutter trucks servicing the DSM/Metro area. They offer 5" and 6"
gutter, available to commercial and residential builders or homeowners.
All Iowa Hot Tubs and Saunas sell retail as well as to contractors. The public is
welcome to come in and see the Bullfrog spas and Health Mate Saunas. The
Bullfrog spa is customizable, interchangeable and upgradable. It has a tough three-
layer shell that contains the plumbing, making the spa virtually leak proof. The
JetPak plumbing is kept submerged in the spa's hot water, recycling energy and
lowering energy bills, with a lifetime warranty against JetPak leaks. The Bullfrog
offers a lifetime shell structure warranty; a six-year surface warranty, a five-year
cabinet warranty and a three-year blame free equipment warranty. "The Bullfrog is
a great way to relax," Myers said as he talked about the spa he and his wife have
customized to each of their personal preferences.
All Iowa Saunas feature the Health Mate Infrared Sauna. This sauna is handcrafted,
assembles and disassembles with ease, requires no plumbing or ventilation, uses
less energy and has a lifetime warranty. Some of the benefits of the Health Mate
sauna are: relieves joint pain and stiffness, improves your immune system,
removes toxins and mineral waste, reduces stress and fatigue and enhances the
skin tone. Myers said he uses his Health Mate sauna to relieve his winter cold
symptoms.
All Iowa Products is home to the revolutionary Dimplex Optiflame electric fireplace.
The Optiflame provides the realism and ambiance of conventional gas and wood
fireplaces but without the mess, expense, constraints or maintenance. Optiflame
has a one-step installation process and requires only an electrical power supply,
operating from any home outlet and creating the coziness of a fire with or without
the accompanying heat. Dimplex products feature an incredibly realistic patented
flame technology that uses under 300 watts of power. The flame effect can operate
independently of the heater while remaining 100% efficient. All of the energy
supplied to the unit is converted into heat and stays contained in the room. By
comparison, a gas fireplace allows 20-30% of the energy to vent outside. The glass
on a Dimplex fireplace remains safe to touch, regardless of the heater being on or
off, thus making it safer for children than a conventional fireplace.
