Your gutters might not be the most visible part of your home, but they play a vital role in protecting it. From directing rainwater away from your foundation to preventing water damage and soil erosion, a well-functioning gutter system is essential.
At Universal Roofing & Construction, we provide professional gutter installation and replacement services for homeowners in Pleasant Hill, IA, ensuring your home is protected year-round.
Why Gutters Are Essential?
Iowa weather can bring everything from heavy rain to snowmelt and hail—putting your home at constant risk of water intrusion. Without a reliable gutter system, rainwater can pool around your foundation, seep into your basement, damage your landscaping, or even rot your siding and fascia.
Gutters ensure proper drainage, helping to preserve the structural integrity of your home. If your gutters are old, leaking, sagging, or frequently clogged, it’s time to consider replacement. Our team at Universal Roofing & Construction offers high-quality solutions tailored to your home’s unique needs.

Russell Allen with Universal Roofing is a true lifesaver!! Woke up to a leak in the ceiling & Russell was quick to respond & get straight to work to fix our problem. Russell is not only extremely knowledgeable about roofs, insurance, etc. but he's an extremely nice guy! Thanks Russell Allen for superior work!! We appreciate you!liz battardMarch 3, 2026
Universal Roofing and Construction Inc. worked with us for over a year to help facilitate getting our homeowner insurance to pay for the damage caused by hail storm. Russell Allen (Project Manager) never gave up in helping to facilitate this process and made sure we got a quality roof quickly. They even helped us with other damage on our home that was discovered during the roofing repair. Great communication and very professional.Heidi MooreFebruary 27, 2026
I had a great experience working with Universal Roofing and Construction Inc. From start to finish, the team was professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. I worked directly with JD Coots, and he was fantastic throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way.
The quality of their work was outstanding. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and kept the job site clean and organized throughout the project. They completed the job within the promised timeline, and the final results exceeded my expectations.
What really stood out to me was JD’s honesty and attention to detail. There were no surprises, and communication was clear from beginning to end. It’s not always easy to find a reliable contractor, but Universal Roofing and Construction Inc. truly delivered.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for roofing or construction services. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with JD Coots and the team again in the future!

Universal Roofing & Russell Allen did a quality full roof/gutter/downspout replacement. They provided exceptional service and offered us great pricing. Russell solved any issues quickly and the work was done timely.Communication was perfect. Russell sent us drone photos during the entire project and they protected all of our landscaping etc. Russell helped with color selection making it all easy.! Did I say they gave us a 10 year warranty and they couldn't have been nicer to work with?! We would definitely use them again.Linda HarrisFebruary 21, 2026

They did a great repair of my loose shingles and sagging gutter. Communication was great. Their response to my needs was quick.Melinda MartinFebruary 10, 2026
Universal Roofing and Construction is absolutely top-notch! I watched them working on my neighbor’s roof and was immediately impressed by how professional, quick, and clean they were. On a whim, I asked if they could fix a hole on my roof and they didn’t hesitate for a second (thanks so much Pete). They were incredibly kind, respectful, and helpful, and took care of it quickly and perfectly. They offer fair, honest quotes and clearly take pride in their work. Their workmanship is excellent, they work efficiently without cutting corners, and they leave everything spotless. On top of all that, they’re just genuinely nice people. It’s rare to find a crew this professional and personable. I can’t recommend Universal Roofing and Construction highly enough!Oguz CetinJanuary 22, 2026

Universal Roofing did a great job on our roof replacement after hail damage. We worked with Russell Allen and he helped us through the entire process including answering all of my questions about working through our insurance. The new roof, gutters and downspouts were replaced over 2 days. I would definitely recommend Russell and company!Shannon BettsJanuary 5, 2026
My husband and I had a great experience with Cole and Universal. He knocked on our door shortly after a hail storm in April 2025. I was skeptical at first but I did notice how many 5 star reviews there were, our neighbors also hired Universal and Cole offered to hold our hand through the process since we had not ever filed a claim on our roof before. We filed 3 claims on 3 properties and got 2 approved. Cole was patient, guided us through a denial and appeal to our home insurance and replaced the roofs in one day. His crew was very clean and worked quickly. Cole even came to my personal home to climb on the roof and check something for us months after he finished the job. He’s responsive and very professional. I will use Cole and Universal for all of my future roofing projects. Thanks again!Stacy HolleyDecember 10, 2025
Thank you for locating our roof damage and letting know. You fixed it beautifully and we much appreciate it!!Gina DuncanNovember 13, 2025
Pete was very professional and knowledgeable. He came to my home and fixed my roof issues the same day! 10/10 recommend Universal Roofing & Construction!Angie ClevengerNovember 10, 2025
I wanted share what an incredible experience we had with Russell Allen and Universal Roofing! Russell understood the relationship with our Insurance Co.and guided us step by step through the process of the inspection and communication with insurance. We were approved in 1 day for full replacement including the gutters and downspouts!
They were very prepared and even made several repairs to the roof that were not visible until they removed the old roof. Here is Russell's info - make sure to give him a call, it will be worth it!Robert EvansNovember 10, 2025
It was a pleasant experience to work with Universal Roofing, for roof replacement, Juan Delao and Selma worked with us during the whole process and got the roof replaced, made us aware of the post activities (mainly periodic observations/inspections etc) and we are delighted to Recommend them for roofing related work.Atul BhingardeNovember 7, 2025
Cole Nolan was an excellent representative of what an elite and professional roofer should be. A claim was filed and originally denied, Cole worked tirelessly over nearly 1 year to ensure that a beautiful Owens Corning roof was placed on my home. Without his knowledge, experience, and expertise during the process, I am certain the insurance claim would have continued to be denied. Cole is the example that all roofing contractors should strive to be in making sure the customer is taken care of to the very end!Todd FranklinNovember 6, 2025
Very nice and work efficient company! Highly recommend working with Erick Franco Villa!!Leslie cardenasNovember 4, 2025
Cole Nolan did a great job walking us through the insurance claim process and getting our roof replacement covered with Allstate in record time. New roof looks awesome! Highly recommended!Glen HNovember 3, 2025
Alex from Universal Roofing was incredibly knowledgeable and professional when he came to my home. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood the best options for my roof. You can tell he truly cares about his customers. Highly recommend Universal Roofing if you’re looking for honesty, quality, and expertise! Thank you AlexCristina ContrerasOctober 29, 2025
Cole and his team did an amazing job, not only on construction, but on dealing with our insurance company. At first they only wanted to pay $900 to do a small patch. Cole got them to replace almost the whole thing and fought for every inch. I would give 10 stars if I could.Andy DuggerOctober 28, 2025
What an incredible experience we had with Cole from Universal Roofing! From start to finish, Cole walked us through what to expect with the process, how long it would take, when the scheduling of the work would take place and he was available at a moment’s notice with any questions we had. Cole consistently went the extra mile and put in much extra work to ensure everything went smoothy. He was our advocate with our insurance company and immediately responded when more information was needed. He took care of many things behind the scenes so he would not have to bother us. While the work was being completed, the crew was professional and polite and the next day, we couldn’t tell they had been there except for the great roof we now have. In thinking back over our experience, I can’t think of a better customer service experience I’ve received from ANY business or individual of any kind. I knew throughout the process that Cole had our best interest at heart, and he was not out just to make the next job happen. He genuinely cares about people, and it shows. I would highly recommend Cole and Universal Roofing without hesitation!Jeff GrantOctober 13, 2025
We needed some repairs, not a full replacement, due to a home inspection while in the process of selling. Kyle came out to look and he was very fast, and professional. He did the research to find the exact make and model of the existing shingles and installed where needed meticulously. This was our second experience with them and we are very happy with their work, speed, communications...Dana BukerOctober 5, 2025
