Quick answer
Penfold Construction repairs and replaces roofs across Lakewood from its Dallas service office. Two-thirds of homes here are detached and owner-occupied, and many were built between the 1940s and 1960s, with Tudors and Craftsman bungalows in the oldest sections. We match materials and details to the house, and on newer rebuilds we install modern systems with the same care at the flashing.
Lakewood
Estates and cottages by the lake
Lakewood is home to about 14,700 people on the west side of White Rock Lake. About two-thirds of homes are detached houses and two-thirds are owner-occupied, and much of the housing dates from the 1940s through the 1960s, with newer rebuilds mixed in since 2000. In Lakewood Heights, the oldest section, the first houses were Craftsman bungalows and Tudors, and the neighborhood is about a century old.
Older Lakewood roofs are often steep, with dormers, chimneys and valleys, and their weak points are the flashing and the decking rather than the shingles. Our historic home roofing matches the look of the house; our flashing repairs fix the leaks.
Rebuilds
New houses among old ones
Teardowns and rebuilds have added large new homes among the originals, and those roofs bring their own needs: long valleys, low-slope sections over additions and large gutter runs. We handle both kinds of house on the same street, and on any replacement we price Class 4 shingles beside the standard line.
