Beast Bros Roofing brings honest roofing to Gunnison and the south end of Sanpete County. We handle roof repair, roof replacement, wind and hail damage, and metal roofs on everything from ranch homes to farm shops and pole barns around Gunnison, Centerfield and Mayfield. Gunnison sits lower than the rest of Sanpete, at roughly 5,100 feet near the Sevier River, but it's wide open to wind, and winter still brings snow, ice and hard freezes. Our inspections are free, and you'll get photos of everything we find.
Wind: the biggest roof killer in Gunnison
Gunnison sits in open farm country where the Sanpete and Sevier valleys meet, and storm fronts blow across it with nothing to slow them down. Wind is behind a large share of the roof problems we see here:
- Lifted and torn shingles along ridges, rakes and eaves, especially on roofs where the seal strips have aged out
- Creased shingles that stayed on but lost their seal, leaving them ready to blow off in the next storm
- Loose metal panels on shops and barns where screws have backed out over years of wind and temperature swings
- Ridge caps and vents knocked loose or cracked
Wind damage also tends to snowball. Once one shingle goes, the ones next to it are exposed at the edges and lift more easily in the next gust. If you've found shingle pieces in the yard after a storm, don't wait for a leak. A few missing shingles is an easy roof repair; a winter of water under the roof is not.
Metal roofing for Gunnison homes, shops and barns
Metal is everywhere in the Gunnison area, and for good reason. It handles wind, sheds snow and lasts a long time. We work with both types:
| Type | Best for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Exposed-fastener panel | Shops, pole barns, hay sheds, equipment storage | Screws and washers need attention as they age |
| Standing seam | Homes, cabins, anyone wanting the longest life | Higher cost up front, but hidden fasteners and fewer leak points |
On older ag buildings, we can often save the roof by re-screwing with new washered fasteners, resealing laps and replacing a few damaged panels. When the panels are rusted through or the building is changing use (say, a hay shed becoming a heated shop), we'll talk about a full re-panel and whether condensation control makes sense. For barns and shops, our pole barn exteriors page covers re-roofing and re-siding existing buildings, and our metal roofing page covers both panel systems on homes.
Hail and storm damage
Summer thunderstorms across central Utah can bring hail along with the wind. Hail damage often isn't visible from the ground, and bruised shingles may not leak for a year or more. After a big storm, look for dents on gutters, vents and AC units, or piles of granules at the bottom of downspouts. We'll inspect for free, document every impact, and tell you honestly what needs fixing. Learn more on our storm and hail damage page.
Roof replacement in Gunnison
Gunnison's housing runs from older brick homes near the center of town to ramblers, manufactured homes and newer houses on acreage. When a roof is worn out, we tear off to the deck, replace any bad sheathing, and install ice & water shield, underlayment, new flashing and proper ventilation, so the new roof holds up to both summer heat and winter freezes. On homes in exposed spots, we pay extra attention to the edges: starter strip at the eaves and rakes, correct nail placement, and ridge caps rated for high winds. Those details are where wind gets its first grip, and they're what separates a roof that lasts from one that sheds shingles every spring.
