Kemp Metal Roofing, Gutters and Soffit Repair
Kemp has had a post office since 1851 and incorporated in 1922, and its homes reflect that long history, from early-1900s frame houses downtown to 1960s-80s ranches and lake cabins toward the north end of Cedar Creek Lake. Architectural Metal Panels serves this Kaufman County town of about 1,500 along US 175 with wind-rated metal roofing, seamless gutters, siding, custom sheet metal, and soffit and fascia. About 45 miles from Dallas, Kemp projects are planned to keep visits efficient and installation days consecutive.

Built Around the Homes of Kemp
Downtown Kemp holds early-1900s frame houses with wood siding, porches and roofs layered over board decking, while the 1960s-80s ranch homes around town are often on their third composition roof with aging fascia and gutters. Toward the Cedar Creek Lake north end and along the FM 1836 corridor, lake cabins and manufactured homes add low-slope roofs and humidity-worn trim. Older frame homes typically need decking and fascia repair before a standing seam roof goes on, ranch homes suit metal shingles or standing seam, and manufactured homes and cabins benefit from metal roof-overs and aluminum soffit.
We serve Kemp homeowners in Downtown Kemp, along the FM 1836 corridor and US 175, and on lake properties at the north end of Cedar Creek Lake within the Kemp ISD area.
How Kemp Weather Treats a Roof
An EF-2 tornado passed between Kemp and Mabank on May 29, 2019, and the May 28, 2024 derecho downed 37 power poles along FM 1836 near Kemp. No roof is tornado-proof, but straight-line wind is the more frequent threat, and it starts at edges, ridges and loose trim. We fasten metal roofing to manufacturer uplift specifications, seal edge metal and replace soft fascia so gutters have something solid to hold. For hail, we recommend roofing tested to UL 2218 Class 4; ask your insurer about credits.
- Roofing independently tested for impact resistance (UL 2218 Class 4), with its limits explained honestly
- Storm-damage inspections that separate real damage from wear
- A written, all-inclusive scope before any work begins

Exterior Services We Provide in Kemp
Wind resistance and trim repair lead in Kemp. Older frame and ranch homes often need fascia and soffit replacement so new gutters and roof edges are anchored to sound wood. Standing seam and metal shingles cover the main roofs, and roof-overs suit lake cabins and manufactured homes. Seamless gutters with guards help on tree-lined lots near the lake.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam and stone-coated steel systems with Class 4 impact ratings, installed by our own crews for Kemp homeowners tired of re-roofing after every hailstorm.
Metal Wall Panels
Aluminum composite (ACM) and corrugated metal wall panels for storefronts, shops and modern homes in Kemp, fabricated and installed by our own crews.
Siding
Full-length seamless steel panels with no seams to leak, plus fiber cement and vinyl options matched to your brick and HOA rules.
Seamless Gutters
Seamless 5- and 6-inch gutters and guards sized for North Texas downpours, moving water away from foundations on expansive clay soil.
Soffit & Fascia

Permits, HOAs and Paperwork in Kemp
Kemp has little HOA presence outside lakefront property owners’ associations. In town, owners generally choose roofing profile and color freely. If your lake property is in a POA, 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 nearby homes. We confirm requirements for your address and pull the city permit where required.

Frequently Asked Questions in Kemp
Is it worth re-roofing a 1960s ranch in Kemp with metal?
Often, yes, if you plan to keep the home. A metal roof typically lasts 40 years or more in Texas, compared with roughly 15 to 20 for composition roofing, and it can be installed over repaired decking with new fascia. On a simple 1960s ranch roof, installation is straightforward, and the result usually outlasts several composition roof cycles.
Do lake cabins near Kemp need special gutters?
Not special, but well planned. Cabins near the lake often sit under trees, so seamless gutters with guards help, and downspouts should discharge away from decks, piers and septic areas. Short eaves on older cabins may need new fascia to support a gutter. We size gutters to the roof and plan where the water goes.
Can you help Kemp homeowners document storm damage for insurance?
Yes. We inspect the roof, gutters, siding, flashing and outbuildings, photograph damage and provide a written summary you can share with your adjuster. We will tell you honestly if we do not see claim-worthy damage. Texas law requires you to pay your deductible, and we never offer to waive or absorb it.
Do you offer free estimates in Kemp?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation in-home estimates throughout Kemp 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.
