Richardson
Roofing for Richardson's mid-century neighborhoods
Much of Richardson was built in the 1950s and 1960s, and its mid-century ranches have long, low rooflines that age differently from the steep roofs in newer suburbs.

Quick answer
Penfold Construction repairs and replaces roofs across Richardson, on the Dallas and Collin County sides, from its Dallas service office. Many homes here are 1950s and 1960s ranches with long, low-pitched roofs and older decking, so replacements often include decking repairs and ventilation fixes, and storms like the 1.75-inch hail of April 27, 2026 bring inspection work.
Richardson
Mid-century roofs need a different approach
Richardson experienced much of its residential growth during the 1950s and 1960s, and neighborhoods such as Richardson Heights, Greenwood Hills, Canyon Creek and Prairie Creek Estates are full of ranches from that era. Their roofs are wide and low, some with low-slope sections over porches and additions where shingles do not belong, and attics vented for a different era.
On those homes the details matter more than the shingle: low-slope sections roofed in membrane rather than shingles, decking replaced where decades of small leaks have softened it, and ventilation brought up to what a modern roof needs.
Storm record
Hail measured in town
On April 27, 2026, hail measuring 1.75 inches fell in Richardson, and hail of one to 1.25 inches was reported near East Spring Valley Road and South Lois Lane. On older low-slope roofs, hail that size bruises the shingles and cracks aging flashing, so we check both.
