Pleasant Hill is the kind of place where a lot of homes sit on generous lots east of Des Moines, many built in the last thirty years with low-slope roofs that take a beating from hail and wind. You see it all along University Avenue and out toward Copper Creek: two-story vinyl-and-brick homes and scattered ranches, with a few older farmhouses mixed in.
When your shingles start curling or a storm peels back a panel, you want a crew that knows Polk County weather and the local housing stock. We are Des Moines Metal Roofing, based right here in Des Moines, and we serve Pleasant Hill (50327) with metal roof replacement, gutters, and repairs that hold up to Iowa summers and winters. Call (515) 461-7188 and we will come take a look.
Metal Roofing in Pleasant Hill (50327)
Most of Pleasant Hill sits on flat to gently rolling ground, and the soil is that black prairie till you find all over Polk County. That matters for drainage: after a heavy spring storm, water can pool near foundations and along fence lines if gutters and downspouts are not sized right. We see a lot of newer subdivisions where the grade was graded tight and the roof pitch is low, so ice dams and wind-driven rain are common at the eaves. The housing mix here is mostly 1990s to 2020s two-story homes with architectural shingles, plus some 1950s to 1970s ranches closer to the older part of town. Those low-slope ranches are prime candidates for metal roof over shingles (retrofit) because you can add a metal roof without tearing off the old layers, as long as code allows it. We also work on the occasional older farmhouse with a steeper gable, where flashing and chimney details need extra care. Our team has been serving Pleasant Hill and the surrounding Des Moines metro for years, and we know how to work around the tight lot lines and HOA rules you find in neighborhoods like Copper Creek and the streets off Four Mile Drive.

How a Job Works in Pleasant Hill
Step 1: You call (515) 461-7188 or fill out our form, and we set up a free on-site assessment. We walk the roof, check the attic if you have one, and look at gutters, flashing, and any storm damage. We give you a written estimate with options, including metal roof replacement, retrofit over shingles, or a repair if that is all you need.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the permit with the City of Pleasant Hill (roofing permits are typically required for a full replacement, and rules vary by jurisdiction, so we verify with the local building department). We schedule around weather and order materials. On installation day, we protect your landscaping and driveway, then tear off or prep the roof, install underlayment and panels, and handle flashing and vents. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we help you get the color and profile approved before we order.
Step 3: We clean up every nail and scrap, run a magnet over the yard, and do a final walkthrough with you. We do not leave until you are satisfied and we have shown you how the new roof and gutters work.
Pricing in Pleasant Hill depends on the size and pitch of your roof, how many layers you are removing, and whether you need gutters or repairs. For a typical ranch or two-story home here, metal roof replacement starts around $9 per square foot, and standing seam starts around $10 per square foot. If you qualify for a retrofit over existing shingles, that starts around $7 per square foot. Gutters for metal roofs start at $9 per linear foot. Smaller jobs like flashing repair or a leak fix start around $450, and screw replacement and re-fastening starts at $750. Storm and wind damage inspections are free. We give you a clear written estimate before any work begins, so you know what to expect. Call (515) 461-7188 for a free estimate.
