Quick answer
Penfold Construction repairs and re-roofs homes across Oak Cliff from its Dallas service office.

Each job gets a written scope with repair and replacement priced side by side.
Oak Cliff
A city inside the city
Oak Cliff began as an independent city just across the Trinity River, southwest of downtown, and today the name covers much of Dallas's southern sector, a district of about 311,000 people. Just under 58 percent of homes are detached houses, and owners stay an average of 22.5 years.
Long ownership means roofs that have been patched more than once. In the southern ZIP codes around Kiest Park, more than half of owners hold their homes free and clear, and they want to know whether a repair is worth it before they commit to a full replacement.

Housing
Bungalows in the north, ranches in the south
North Oak Cliff holds older neighborhoods like Winnetka Heights and Kessler Park, where many homes are early twentieth-century bungalows and revival-style houses with steep roofs, dormers and original details. Those homes need roofs matched to the house, which is the work of our historic home roofing. Further south, around Kiest Park and Wynnewood, postwar ranches on wide lots need the ordinary things done right: decking, flashing and ventilation.
