Kaufman Metal Roofs, Gutters and Siding for Old and New Homes
Founded as Kings Fort in 1840 and now the seat of Kaufman County, Kaufman blends 1920s-1970s homes around its courthouse square with brand-new subdivisions along US 175 and SH 34. Architectural Metal Panels serves this city of about 11,000 with metal roofing, seamless gutters, siding, custom sheet metal, and soffit and fascia. Older homes here often need structural attention before a new roof goes on, and newer homes need the upgrades builders skipped, so we plan each job around what the house actually needs.

What Kaufman Homes Need From Their Exterior
Near the courthouse square and the historic Greenslade Drug Store and Maples Block buildings, Kaufman’s older streets are lined with 1920s-1970s frame and brick homes. Many have board decking, wood fascia and soffit that have been painted for generations, and gutters that have lost their pitch over the years. Around the edges of town, 2018-2025 entry-level brick-veneer subdivisions such as Hinton Estates and Heritage Park were built with basic composition roofs and minimal gutters. For the older homes, a standing seam roof over repaired decking, plus new fascia, is a long-lived fix. For the new homes, Class 4 metal and properly sized gutters close the builder gaps.
We serve Kaufman from the downtown courthouse square and Kings Fort to Hinton Estates and Heritage Park, including homes along the US 175 and SH 34 corridors.
Storm Season in Kaufman: What to Plan For
During the May 28, 2024 derecho, two RVs were overturned between Crandall and Kaufman and winds downed dozens of power poles across central Kaufman County. Wind that strong lifts roofing at edges and ridges, tears gutters from fascia and drives rain under loose siding. We install roofing with uplift-rated fastening and sealed edge metal, and we recommend products tested to UL 2218 Class 4 for the hail that follows many spring fronts. Ask your insurer about credits for impact-resistant roofing, since each company sets its own. We inspect and document damage after major storms.

Our Work in Kaufman, TX
In Kaufman, older homes drive soffit, fascia and gutter work, because decades of overflow and shifting clay soil leave gutters out of pitch and trim boards soft. Standing seam suits the frame and brick homes near the square. In newer subdivisions, the focus is upgrading builder roofs and gutters before the next storm, often with Class 4 metal shingles and 6-inch seamless gutters.
Metal Roofing
A metal roof can outlast two or three asphalt roofs in North Texas sun. We measure, fabricate and install it with a lifetime workmanship warranty.
Metal Wall Panels
Aluminum composite (ACM) and corrugated metal wall panels for storefronts, shops and modern homes in Kaufman, 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
Seamless aluminum or steel gutters plus guards that keep oak and pecan debris out, so storm water goes where it should.
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 Kaufman
In Kaufman, HOAs exist mainly in the newest subdivisions; the historic core around the courthouse is unrestricted. If your home is in a newer HOA, Texas Property Code §202.011 generally prevents the association from prohibiting wind- and hail-resistant or energy-efficient roofing that resembles the approved product and matches the area. Owners of older homes can typically choose any profile or color. We pull the city permit where required and handle any HOA paperwork.

Questions Kaufman Homeowners Ask Us
My Kaufman home near the courthouse has soft wood fascia. Can you fix it with the roof?
Yes, and it is the right time. When the old roof comes off, we can see the full length of the fascia and rafter tails, replace soft boards and add new drip edge. Wrapping new fascia in color-matched aluminum or using a rot-resistant board keeps the problem from returning, and new seamless gutters then hang on solid wood.
Are the roofs on new Kaufman subdivisions built to handle hail?
Typically they meet code, but code does not require an impact rating. Most entry-level homes get standard composition roofs that can bruise in golf-ball hail. Upgrading to a Class 4 product at the first replacement, or sooner after storm damage, adds impact resistance and may earn an insurance credit, depending on your carrier.
How soon after a big storm can you inspect a home in Kaufman?
After a widespread event like the 2024 derecho, requests spike across the region, so we prioritize active leaks and open roofs first, then schedule full inspections. If water is coming in, we can arrange temporary protection. Be cautious with uninvited contractors who knock right after a storm and pressure you to sign on the spot.
Do you offer free estimates in Kaufman?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation in-home estimates throughout Kaufman and the rest of Kaufman County. A specialist inspects your roof or exterior, takes measurements and photos, and gives you a written, all-inclusive price, usually during the same visit.
