Quick answer
Penfold Construction repairs and replaces roofs across Cedar Hill, in Dallas and Ellis counties, from its Dallas service office. The city's hillside lots and older neighborhoods mean storm repairs, replacements and gutter work that handles water running off sloped lots, and hail reaches the Joe Pool Lake area most springs.
Cedar Hill
A town with a long storm memory
Cedar Hill is one of the oldest communities in Dallas County and once served as its temporary county seat. On April 29, 1856, a tornado struck the town, killing at least nine people and reportedly leaving only two structures standing; the county seat moved to Dallas not long after.
Storms still come through. In March 2026, 1.25-inch hail was reported near Joe Pool Lake, and hail in the surrounding area reached about three inches that April. We inspect every slope for hail damage and check the edges for wind.
Terrain
Hillside lots and water
Cedar Hill's terrain, with homes on hillsides above the lake and Cedar Hill State Park, means roof water has somewhere to go fast. Gutters and downspouts here need to be sized and discharged so runoff does not end up against a foundation downhill. We handle gutter work as part of the roof, not as an afterthought.
