Ferris Metal Roofing and Exterior Repair, Brick Town to New Builds
Ferris made its name on brick, and the historic plants along the rail line still tell that story. Today this Ellis County town of about 4,300, reaching into Dallas County, is adding new subdivisions along I-45 as growth pushes south from Dallas. Architectural Metal Panels serves Ferris with metal roofing, roof replacement, seamless gutters, siding, custom sheet metal, and soffit and fascia, for early-1900s homes downtown, mid-century houses in town, and new builds near the I-45 and FM 664 corridor.

Roofs, Siding and Gutters on Ferris Homes
Ferris’s older housing is early-1900s and mid-century homes around Historic Downtown Ferris and the Trumbull area, many with wood siding, wood soffit and fascia, and roofs that have been replaced several times over the original decking. Gutters on those homes often sag or are missing, which lets water run down the siding and rot trim. New 2020s brick-veneer subdivisions along I-45 bring standard composition roofs and builder gutters. Older homes are good candidates for standing seam over repaired decking with new soffit and fascia, while new homes benefit from a Class 4 roof and 6-inch gutters as storms take their toll.
We serve Ferris homeowners in Historic Downtown Ferris, Shepherd Place and the Trumbull area, along the I-45 / FM 664 corridor and throughout the Ferris ISD area.
Storm Season in Ferris: What to Plan For
Northern Ellis County spring storms routinely bring 1- to 2-inch hail to Ferris, and the town was within the March 8, 2025 Ellis County wind-damage swath. Hail in that range bruises composition roofs and dents gutters, and straight-line wind lifts roof edges and loose siding. We install roofing tested to UL 2218 Class 4 with uplift-rated fastening and sealed edge metal, and we fasten gutters with hidden hangers into sound fascia. Ask your carrier about impact-resistant credits, which vary by company. After a storm, we provide a photo-documented inspection.
- Class 4 (UL 2218) impact-rated roofing options, with the certificate your insurer asks for
- Free post-storm inspections with dated photos and measurements
- Adjuster meetings on site so the claim scope is complete

What We Install for Ferris Homeowners
In Ferris, soffit, fascia and gutter work rank high because so many older homes have rotted trim and missing or sagging gutters. Standing seam suits the simple rooflines of early-1900s and mid-century homes. In new subdivisions along I-45, the focus shifts to upgrading builder gutters and planning a Class 4 roof after the first hail claim.
Metal Roofing
Concealed-fastener standing seam, metal shingles and stone-coated steel, available with UL 2218 Class 4 ratings that many Texas insurers recognize.
Metal Wall Panels
Architectural wall panels in Wave, rib and PBR profiles, plus ACM cladding, for commercial fronts and contemporary homes around Ferris.
Siding
Seamless steel, fiber cement and vinyl siding for gables and second stories, chosen to resist hail dents and afternoon UV fade.
Seamless Gutters
Gutters formed on site to your home’s exact lengths, with downspouts and extensions placed to protect your slab foundation.
Soffit & Fascia
Vented soffit and wrapped fascia that protect roof edges, improve attic airflow in Texas heat and finish the roofline cleanly.

HOA Approval and Permits in Ferris
HOAs in Ferris exist only in the newest subdivisions; older neighborhoods downtown and around the Trumbull area are generally unrestricted. If you are in an HOA, Texas Property Code §202.011 generally prevents it from prohibiting wind- and hail-resistant or energy-efficient roofing that resembles the approved product and matches nearby homes. Owners of older homes can choose any profile and color. We pull the city permit where required and coordinate any HOA approval.

Ferris Roofing and Exterior FAQs
My older Ferris home has no gutters. Do I really need them?
In most cases, yes. Without gutters, roof runoff splashes against siding and trim, rots fascia and soaks the soil next to the foundation, which can worsen movement on Ellis County clay. Seamless gutters with downspouts and extensions carry water away from the house. We size them to your roof area and pitch.
Can you replace rotted soffit on a Ferris home without a full roof?
Yes. Soffit and fascia can be replaced as a stand-alone project, though it is efficient to combine with a roof if the roof is near the end of its life. We remove rotted wood, repair rafter tails where needed and install aluminum or rot-resistant soffit and fascia with proper ventilation, then rehang the gutters.
How often does hail hit Ferris hard enough to damage roofs?
Northern Ellis County spring storms routinely produce 1- to 2-inch hail, which is enough to bruise standard composition roofs and dent gutters. Not every storm hits every street, but over the life of a composition roof, a Ferris home can see several damaging events. That is the main reason Class 4 roofing pays off here.
How soon can you inspect my roof in Ferris?
Most Ferris inspections are scheduled within a few business days, and active leaks and fresh storm damage go to the front of the line. If water is coming in, call (469) 569-3956 and we will help you protect the home first.
