Kaufman County · Kaufman, Texas
Metal Roofing in Kaufman, the Kaufman County Seat
Around the Kaufman County Courthouse, many of the town’s frame and brick homes have roofs that have weathered decades of Texas summers. Permanent Metal Roofing Systems replaces roofs like these with standing seam, stone-coated steel or metal shingles, and installs PBR or corrugated panels on barns, shops and equipment sheds on the rural acreage around town. Kaufman is the county seat, about 23 miles southeast of our Mesquite office by way of US 175. Our panels are formed to length on our own equipment, which helps on long barn runs.

What Kaufman Homes Need From a Metal Roof
Kaufman is an older county-seat town with many 1920s-1970s frame and brick homes near the downtown courthouse square, now ringed by 2018-2025 entry-level brick-veneer subdivisions along US 175 and SH 34. On the older houses, a roof may sit on board sheathing or carry more than one layer of shingles, so we inspect the deck at tear-off and add new sheathing where a standing seam system needs a solid base. Standing seam suits their simple gables and porches. In the newer subdivisions ringing town, builder-grade composition roofs can step up to stone-coated steel or a metal shingle. On acreage, PBR covers barns and shops.
We serve the downtown courthouse square, Kings Fort, Hinton Estates and Heritage Park, plus farms and acreage along US 175 and SH 34 near the Greenslade Drug Store and Maples Block historic buildings.
Weather Notes for a Kaufman Metal Roof
During the May 28, 2024 derecho, two RVs were overturned between Crandall and Kaufman and winds downed dozens of power poles across central Kaufman County. Open farmland gives wind a long run at buildings, so uplift deserves real attention here. On homes, concealed standing seam clips are spaced closer at eaves, rakes and corners, and site-specific engineering is available on request. On barns and shops, PBR fastener spacing and trim attachment matter most. For hail, choose a UL 2218 Class 4 rated product and ask your carrier about any credit.
- Impact-rated standing seam, stone-coated steel and metal shingle options
- Heavier 24-gauge panels that resist cosmetic hail dents better than thinner steel
- Clip spacing and fastening planned for Texas wind uplift

Our Metal Roofing Work in Kaufman, TX
Kaufman splits between older in-town homes and rural acreage. Snap lock standing seam suits the 1920s-1970s houses near the square, stone-coated steel and metal shingles fit the new subdivisions, and PBR or corrugated panels cover barns, hay sheds and equipment buildings. Because wind is the bigger threat on open land, fastener schedules and trim attachment get as much attention as the panel itself.

Getting a Metal Roof Approved in Kaufman
HOAs exist mainly in Kaufman’s newest subdivisions; the historic core around the courthouse is unrestricted. Where an HOA applies, Texas Property Code 202.011 generally lets you choose impact-resistant or energy-efficient roofing as long as it resembles what the HOA approves, while the HOA may still regulate color and appearance. We pull the city permit where required, and for barns and shops on county land outside city limits we confirm what applies before work starts.

What Kaufman Owners Ask About Metal Roofs
Can a metal roof go over the old shingles on a Kaufman house?
Sometimes, but a tear-off is usually the better choice on an older home. Removing the shingles exposes the decking, so soft or spaced boards can be replaced before the new roof goes on. It also keeps weight down and gives a flat surface for standing seam. Our cost page lists the charge for removing extra shingle layers.
What metal panel fits a hay barn or equipment shed near Kaufman?
PBR is the usual pick: a ribbed exposed-fastener panel with about 36 inches of coverage that spans open purlins well. Corrugated gives a more traditional look, and 7.2 rib works too. For a structural roof on a pre-engineered metal building, 2-inch mechanical lock is the heavier option. We form the trim and closures to match.
Does metal make sense on a starter home along US 175?
It depends on how long you plan to stay. A metal roof costs more up front than composition shingles but typically lasts far longer, and a Class 4 product may earn an insurance credit set by your carrier. If budget is tight, 26-gauge standing seam costs less than 24-gauge, and our cost page shows both.
Do you offer free metal roofing estimates in Kaufman?
Yes, and they come in writing. A PMRS estimator measures the roof, looks at the decking and flashing, lays out panel and color choices, and itemizes the price. From our Mesquite office, Kaufman is roughly 23 miles away.
