Quick answer
Penfold Construction repairs and replaces roofs across Ellis County from its head office in Ennis, covering Waxahachie, Midlothian, Red Oak, Ennis and the smaller towns between them. The work here mixes storm repairs on homes with metal roofs on shops, barns and commercial buildings, because straight-line winds do as much damage in this county as hail.
The county
Where the head office is
Ellis County grew about 16 percent between 2020 and the start of 2024, to roughly 224,000 people, as subdivisions spread south from Dallas along I-35E and I-45. Growth has followed the highways south from Dallas, and the land between the towns is still largely farmland.
That mix is why our Ellis County work includes metal roofs and barn and shop roofs as well as shingle homes, all run out of the Ennis office.
Storm record
Wind does as much damage here as hail
On March 8, 2025, straight-line winds of 75 to 80 mph hit Ennis, tearing the roof off a hotel and leaving about 6,000 Ellis County residents without power; the same storms killed a man in the county, overturned RVs and semi-trucks, and broke windows in downtown Waxahachie with hail.
Hail keeps coming too. In 2026, quarter-size hail was reported in Waxahachie on May 25 and on I-35 in Red Oak on June 6. Waxahachie sounds its outdoor sirens when hail of 1.5 inches or larger is reported, the size the city treats as dangerous. We check every roof for wind and hail damage together.
