A Full Exterior Reset for Forest Hill’s 1950s-1970s Homes
Tucked between Everman and Kennedale on Fort Worth’s southeast side, Forest Hill is a city of about 14,000 where most homes are 1950s-1970s ranches on larger lots. Architectural Metal Panels serves Forest Hill homeowners in Tarrant County with metal roofing, metal wall panels, seamless steel siding, seamless gutters and soffit and fascia. Many roofs here are aging composition roofs that have taken decades of sun and several rounds of hail, and we help owners decide whether to repair, re-roof or upgrade to metal.

What Forest Hill Homes Need From Their Exterior
Forest Hill’s housing is mostly 1950s-1970s single-story wood-frame and brick ranch homes on larger lots, along streets like Forest Hill Drive, Anglin Drive and the Wichita Street area. Many still carry aging composition roofs, sometimes layered over older roofing, with original wood fascia, minimal soffit venting and gutters that are missing or sagging. Frame homes often have painted wood or hardboard siding that has swelled or split at the bottom edge. Larger lots often mean more trees and more room for detached garages and carports. A metal roof after a full tear-off, new fascia and soffit, steel siding on frame walls and seamless gutters typically solve the long-term problems.
We serve Forest Hill homeowners along the Forest Hill Drive corridor, Old Mansfield Road, Anglin Drive and the Wichita Street area, near O. D. Wyatt High School and the I-20 and US-287 interchange.
How Forest Hill Weather Treats a Roof
Forest Hill sits between two of south Tarrant County’s notable storm sites. On April 3, 2012, an EF-2 tornado touched down in neighboring Kennedale and tracked into south Arlington, and on June 1, 2025, baseball-size (2.75-inch) hail fell in Everman, just to the southwest. Aging composition roofs rarely survive hail that size, and loose fascia lets wind into the roof edge. We recommend UL 2218 Class 4 metal roofing with sealed edges and properly fastened trim. Ask your carrier whether a Class 4 roof qualifies for a discount, and get an inspection after big storms.
- 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

Exterior Services We Provide in Forest Hill
Forest Hill homes often benefit from a full exterior reset rather than one fix. Tear-off and a metal roof replace aging, sometimes layered composition roofing; new fascia and vented soffit stop rot and heat buildup; and seamless steel siding ends the paint cycle on frame homes. Larger lots often include carports or detached garages that can take matching metal roofing at the same time.
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
Aluminum composite (ACM) and corrugated metal wall panels for storefronts, shops and modern homes in Forest Hill, fabricated and installed by our own crews.
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
Fascia repair and replacement, vented soffit panels and aluminum wrap that will not need paint every few summers.

Working With Forest Hill HOAs and Permit Offices
Forest Hill has negligible HOA presence, so homeowners rarely need association approval; the city permit is the main requirement, and we pull it where required. If your property does fall under deed restrictions or a small association, Texas Property Code §202.011 generally prevents an HOA from prohibiting impact-resistant or energy-efficient roofing that resembles and matches the approved roofing. For detached garages and carports, we confirm with the city whether a separate permit applies.

Forest Hill Roofing and Exterior FAQs
Can I replace my Forest Hill roof in phases to fit a budget?
Yes, and on older homes it often makes sense. A common order is the roof and any rotted fascia first, since they protect everything else, then soffit and gutters, then siding and sheet metal. We can quote the full project and break it into phases, and we flag anything that should not wait, like soft decking or a gutter dumping water against the foundation.
Should hardboard siding on a Forest Hill home be replaced?
Usually, once it starts swelling or flaking. Hardboard siding from that era absorbs water at cut edges and the bottom course, then softens and can grow mildew. Patching rarely lasts. Replacing it with seamless steel siding reduces moisture problems, resists hail and avoids repainting. We check the sheathing underneath and repair it before the new siding goes on.
Does Forest Hill’s spot near I-20 and US-287 affect scheduling?
It helps. Forest Hill sits right at the I-20, US-287 and Loop 820 junction about nine miles from downtown Fort Worth, so crews and material deliveries reach it easily. Single-story re-roofs here typically take a few working days once materials arrive. We plan dumpster placement around your driveway and lot layout and sweep for nails with magnets daily.
