Quick answer
Penfold Construction inspects, repairs and replaces roofs across Kaufman County, including Forney, Terrell, Kaufman and Crandall, from our Dallas service office. Many homes here are new, so a lot of the work is checking builder-grade roofs after hail, filing well-documented claims, and upgrading to impact-resistant shingles when a roof is replaced.
The county
Growth faster than anywhere else in Texas
Between July 2024 and July 2025, Kaufman County's population grew 5.67 percent, from 198,010 to 209,235, the third-largest numeric gain of any county in the country. More than half of its residents work outside the county.
New subdivisions mean young roofs, often with builder-grade shingles that have never been through a big storm. A roof inspection after the first hail season tells you what was actually installed and how it held up.
Storm record
A long hail and tornado record
Forney sits in an active part of the storm corridor. On April 3, 2012, an EF3 tornado struck parts of Forney, damaging or destroying multiple homes and businesses, and the largest hail of that outbreak, 3.5 inches, fell near Forney. Storms like that are why we inspect for wind and hail damage together, not one or the other.
