Pleasant Grove calls itself Utah's City of Trees, and those big, mature trees are part of what makes its neighborhoods feel like home. They also shape what roofs here go through. Beast Bros Roofing handles roofing Pleasant Grove homes need, from roof repair and full roof replacement to gutters, hail damage repair and free inspections with photos.
Roofing Pleasant Grove's Neighborhoods
Pleasant Grove has a long history, and its housing reflects it:
- Older homes near downtown. Many have multiple shingle layers, board sheathing, brick chimneys and additions tied into the original roof.
- 1970s–90s family subdivisions. Ramblers, split-levels and two-story homes on their second or third roof, often with tired attic ventilation.
- Bench homes toward the mountains. Larger, newer homes up toward Mount Timpanogos and the Grove Creek and Battle Creek trailheads, with steeper roofs, more snow and more wind exposure.
Trees, Gutters and Roofs
Mature trees are great for shade, but they add work for your roof. Leaves and needles pile up in valleys and gutters, hold moisture against shingles and send water over the gutter and behind the fascia. In winter, clogged gutters make ice dams worse. Overhanging branches can scrape shingles in the wind or drop limbs in a storm.
A few things help:
- Keep branches trimmed back from the roof
- Clean gutters in late fall, after the leaves drop
- Upgrade to seamless gutters with fewer seams to leak and properly sized downspouts
- Replace soft or rotted fascia before it pulls the gutters loose
Roof Repair and Replacement in Pleasant Grove
Our roof repair service covers the leaks we see most in Pleasant Grove: cracked pipe boots, chimney flashing on older homes, wind-lifted shingles on bench lots and ice dam damage along low eaves. We find the real source of the leak and show you before-and-after photos.
When a roof is worn out, a roof replacement starts with a full tear-off so we can check the deck, followed by ice & water shield at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, balanced ventilation and architectural shingles. On older homes near downtown, we often find a second layer of shingles installed over the first decades ago. Two layers trap heat, add weight and hide soft decking, so we remove both, replace any damaged boards and start fresh. On split-levels and two-story homes, we rebuild the step flashing where upper roofs meet lower walls, since that joint is behind a large share of the leaks we trace.
Winter on the Pleasant Grove Bench
Homes on the east side of Pleasant Grove sit closer to the mountains, and they get more snow and colder nights than neighborhoods near the freeway. Snow lingers on north-facing slopes and shaded eaves, especially under big trees, and that's where ice dams build.
Signs your roof has an ice dam problem:
- Thick icicles hanging from the gutters or eaves
- Water stains on ceilings or walls near the outside of the house
- Ice building up inside the gutters and spilling over the front
- Damp or matted insulation in the attic
The long-term fix is keeping the roof deck cold and dry: sealing heat leaks into the attic, balancing soffit intake and ridge exhaust, and installing ice & water shield along the eaves and in the valleys. Clean, properly pitched gutters help too, since a gutter packed with leaves and ice gives the dam a head start. If ice is already backing up, call us instead of chipping at it; hammers and shovels break shingles and make leaks worse. We'll repair the leak and fix the cause.
Hail and Storm Damage
Summer thunderstorms bring hail to north Utah County, and Pleasant Grove is no exception. If a storm has come through, schedule a free storm and hail damage inspection. We'll document what's there and tell you honestly what needs fixing.
