Ellis County · Waxahachie, Texas
Exterior Work for Waxahachie’s Historic and New Neighborhoods
The 1897 Ellis County Courthouse still anchors downtown Waxahachie, and the homes around it span more than a century of building. Architectural Metal Panels serves this Ellis County city of about 50,000 with metal roofing, seamless gutters, siding, custom sheet metal and soffit and fascia work, sized to each house rather than to a template. That can mean a standing seam roof on a Craftsman in the West End, impact-rated metal shingles in North Grove, or new gutters on a 1990s brick home along US 287.

Roofs, Siding and Gutters on Waxahachie Homes
Waxahachie’s oldest stock, the Victorian and Craftsman houses around the courthouse square and the West End, typically has wood siding, deep eaves and original fascia and soffit that have been patched and repainted for decades; rot at gutter lines and porch roofs is common. The 1990s-2000s brick-veneer subdivisions along US 287 and I-35E are on aging composition roofs that Texas heat typically wears out in 15 to 20 years. On the north and west sides, new construction such as North Grove often arrives with entry-level composition roofs and 5-inch gutters. Historic homes suit standing seam or metal shingles that respect the original lines; newer homes gain the most from a Class 4 roof and upsized gutters.
We serve all of Waxahachie, including Historic Downtown and the West End, North Grove, Buffalo Creek, Garden Valley, the I-35E and US 287 corridors and the neighborhoods near Southwestern Assemblies of God University.
Storm Season in Waxahachie: What to Plan For
On March 8, 2025, a line of storms with 80-90 mph straight-line winds peeled roofs east of Waxahachie, damaged storefronts on Ferris Avenue and flipped 18-wheelers on I-35E. A year earlier, in May 2024, 2-inch hail fell at US 77 and Dart Way. That mix of wind and hail is why we build Waxahachie roofs with uplift-resistant fastening, high-temperature underlayment and panels or metal shingles tested to UL 2218 Class 4. Ask your insurer whether a Class 4 roof qualifies for a premium credit; the amount varies by carrier, and we supply the documentation.
- 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

Our Work in Waxahachie, TX
Waxahachie calls for more soffit, fascia and gutter work than most Ellis County towns because of its older core, where century-old trim often hides rot behind the gutters. In the newer subdivisions, the priority shifts to roofing and gutter sizing after the 2024 hail and 2025 wind. Many homeowners pair a Class 4 roof with 6-inch seamless gutters and new fascia in a single project.

Permits, HOAs and Paperwork in Waxahachie
Newer master-planned sections such as North Grove and Garden Valley are HOA-governed, while the historic district has local preservation review for exterior changes, so a roof or siding project downtown may need approval before work starts. Texas Property Code §202.011 generally prevents HOAs from prohibiting hail-resistant or energy-efficient roofing that resembles and matches approved roofing, though it does not override historic review. We prepare samples and drawings for either process, and we pull the city permit where required.

Waxahachie Roofing and Exterior FAQs
Is a metal roof allowed on a house in Waxahachie’s historic district?
Possibly, but plan for the review. Exterior changes in the historic district go through local preservation review, so the profile and color need to suit the home’s era. Standing seam metal appears on many older Texas buildings, and metal shingles can echo traditional patterns. We gather photos, samples and specifications to support your application before any work is scheduled.
Did the March 2025 Waxahachie wind storm change what roof you recommend?
It reinforced it. Straight-line winds of 80-90 mph lift roofing at edges and ridges first, so we focus on uplift: concealed clips or interlocking panels, sealed starter and edge metal, and correctly fastened ridge caps. Metal roofing rated for high wind uplift, paired with a Class 4 impact rating, addresses both the wind and the hail risk Waxahachie sees.
Are builder gutters on a new North Grove home big enough?
Often not. Production builders commonly install 5-inch gutters, and North Texas downpours of 1 to 2 inches an hour can overwhelm them on large two-story roofs, spilling water against the foundation. Upgrading to 6-inch seamless gutters with 3×4 downspouts carries roughly two-thirds more water per foot. We measure your roof areas and tell you where the change is worth making.

Yes. We provide free, no-obligation in-home estimates throughout Waxahachie and the rest of Ellis 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.
