Built Around the Homes of Kennedale
Kennedale blends three kinds of property: 1960s-1980s brick ranch homes in established areas such as Old Kennedale, rural acreage with barns and shops, and 2000s-2020s brick-veneer subdivisions such as those along Bowman Springs Road and Southwest Crossing. The ranches typically need roof, fascia and gutter work together after decades of sun. Acreage properties add outbuildings that are often roofed with aging exposed-fastener metal. The newer subdivisions carry builder-grade composition roofs often reaching their first replacement. Across all three, wind resistance should drive material choices here: standing seam or Class 4 metal shingles on homes and properly fastened panels on outbuildings.
We serve Kennedale homeowners in Oak Crest, Southwest Crossing and Bowman Springs, Village Creek Estates and Old Kennedale, near Sonora Park and the US-287 and I-20 corridor.
How Kennedale Weather Treats a Roof
On April 3, 2012, an EF-2 tornado with 135 mph winds touched down in Kennedale and tracked 4.6 miles into south Arlington, stripping roofs near I-20 and US-287. How a roof is attached largely decides how well it holds in a wind event like that. We use concealed-clip standing seam or interlocking metal shingles with high uplift ratings, ring-shank deck fastening where needed, and sealed edges, plus UL 2218 Class 4 impact ratings for the hail that also crosses south Tarrant County. Ask your insurer about Class 4 credits, and request an inspection after severe storms.

Exterior Services We Provide in Kennedale
Wind performance comes first in Kennedale. A concealed-clip standing seam or interlocking metal shingle roof, sealed at the eaves and rakes, helps with the tornado and derecho risk, while Class 4 ratings handle hail. Ranch homes typically need fascia and gutter work alongside the roof, and acreage owners often want barns and shops re-roofed with new panels and fasteners at the same time.
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
Metal wall systems that shrug off hail and sun: concealed-fastener Wave panels, exposed-fastener corrugated panels and ACM cladding.
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 aluminum or steel gutters plus guards that keep oak and pecan debris out, so storm water goes where it should.
Soffit & Fascia
Fascia repair and replacement, vented soffit panels and aluminum wrap that will not need paint every few summers.

Working With Kennedale HOAs and Permit Offices
HOAs in Kennedale are limited to the newer subdivisions, such as those off Bowman Springs Road; older neighborhoods and acreage generally have none. Where an HOA applies, Texas Property Code §202.011 generally prevents it from prohibiting impact-resistant or energy-efficient roofing that resembles and matches the approved roofing, so wind- and hail-rated metal shingles are a strong fit. We prepare any HOA submission and pull the City of Kennedale permit where required, including for barns and shops when needed.

Questions Kennedale Homeowners Ask Us
What makes a roof more wind-resistant in Kennedale?
Attachment matters more than the material name. We look at deck nailing, use concealed clips or interlocking panels rated for high uplift, seal the starter course at eaves and rakes, and fasten drip edge and fascia securely. On older Kennedale ranches we can re-nail or replace decking during tear-off. No roof is tornado-proof, but these details help a roof ride out strong straight-line winds.
Should I re-roof the old metal barn on my Kennedale acreage?
If the panels are rusting at the laps or the screws have backed out, usually yes. Exposed-fastener roofs depend on rubber washers that UV and heat break down, often within 10 to 15 years, and loose panels can peel off in high wind. New Galvalume or painted panels with fresh fasteners, or a standing seam upgrade, can keep the building tight for decades.
Do Kennedale homes near Village Creek need different gutters?
Often, yes. Lots near Village Creek can have mature trees and slopes that send water toward the house, so gutters matter more than usual. We size seamless gutters to the roof area, add guards where leaves collect, and place downspouts to discharge away from the foundation and toward the natural drainage, keeping water off clay soil around the slab.
Do you help Kennedale homeowners with insurance claims?
We document hail and wind damage with dated photos and measurements, meet your adjuster on site and make sure the scope is complete. Your insurer decides coverage, and Texas law requires you to pay your deductible, which we never waive.
