Your Trusted Exterior Contractor in Pleasant Hill, Iowa
Pleasant Hill is one of those friendly communities east of Des Moines where neighbors still wave from the front porch. If you live near Copper Creek or along Vandalia Road, you already know the feeling. Most homes here were built between the 1980s and early 2000s, and a lot of them are ranch-style layouts with attached garages and nice-sized yards. They were built well, but after 25 to 40 years of Iowa weather, things start to show their age.
Roof replacement is one of the most common projects we handle in Pleasant Hill. Shingles from the original build are well past their lifespan on many homes here, and hail damage speeds that timeline up even more. We also see a lot of vinyl siding that has faded, cracked, or warped over the years. Replacing it not only protects your home but gives the whole exterior a fresh, clean look. And when it comes to gutters, older systems often pull away from the fascia or clog up fast. we install new seamless gutters that actually do their job.
Concrete is another big one in Pleasant Hill. Driveways and sidewalks settle and crack over time, especially on the clay-heavy soil in this part of the metro. We tear out the old slabs and pour new ones that are built to last. Inside the home, many Pleasant Hill bathrooms still have the original tile, vanities, and fixtures from when the house was built. A bathroom remodel can completely change how your home feels. We also handle kitchen remodeling for homeowners who want to update dated countertops, cabinets, and layouts. Basement finishing is a great option if you have unused square footage downstairs, and interior painting is one of the easiest ways to refresh any room in the house.

Pleasant Hill's Roofing Contractor. Here's What Homeowners Actually Need to Know.
Pleasant Hill sits southeast of Des Moines with a population around 10,000. Housing stock is mixed: older ranches and split-levels through the central area near Copper Creek Elementary, plus newer builds in the growth corridor toward the Southeast Polk School District developments. Most 1970s and 1980s stock is on second or third roofs. 2000s to 2020s new builds are typically still in decent shape or approaching first replacement.
Central Iowa hail exposure in Pleasant Hill is similar to Des Moines proper. The mature tree canopy in older neighborhoods adds an impact-damage risk from wind-blown limbs during severe storms. If a storm rolls through, get an inspection scheduled. See our storm damage roof repair process, or schedule a free inspection.
The typical Pleasant Hill roof job runs $8,000 to $15,000 for a standard asphalt replacement. Steeper pitches on older split-levels or larger newer builds push higher. Pleasant Hill 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 handles it. Common Pleasant Hill repair jobs include failed vent boots, chimney flashing on older ranches, missing shingles after wind, and small leaks around penetrations. See the full list of roof repair jobs we handle. We do not push replacements when a repair will do the job.
