Cedar Crest Roofing is a DFW contractor serving Forest Hill: residential and commercial, replacement through repair, with storm restoration handled the documented, legal way. Free inspections with written findings, and honest advice about what your roof actually needs.
Forest Hill roofs live a harder life than most: DFW hail seasons, straight-line winds, and eleven months a year of Texas sun. Cedar Crest Roofing runs the full range here, covering residential replacement, repair, storm restoration with proper documentation, free inspections, and commercial systems from membranes to metal.
Every service we offer has a Forest Hill-specific page below, and every job runs the same way: written findings, honest repair-versus-replace advice, permits handled where Forest Hill requires them, and no door-knocker pressure, ever.
Roofing in Forest Hill, specifically
The Forest Hill roofing picture has its own character, and it shapes how we work here. Forest Hill is established DFW: neighborhoods that have been through multiple roof cycles, mature trees that feed gutters and abrade shingles in every wind event, and a housing stock whose re-roof history varies house by house with the quality of whoever did the last storm season’s work. That history is exactly why documentation matters more here than almost anywhere: separating old wear and prior repairs from fresh storm damage is what makes a Tarrant County claim clean, and it’s what our written, photographed inspections are built to do.
Our crews work Forest Hill alongside Fort Worth, Arlington and Mansfield, so scheduling draws on the whole nearby footprint rather than a single route.

Hail near Forest Hill
Reported hail is less frequent around Forest Hill: NOAA lists 11 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger within 4 miles. Fewer reports can also reflect fewer storm spotters in smaller communities, so a quiet record is not a guarantee. Hail that size was reported in 6 of the last 20 years. The largest stones on record nearby measured 2.75 inches (baseball size) on June 1, 2025. The most recent report: 2-inch hail on April 25, 2026.

How old Forest Hill homes are
Half of Forest Hill's 4,713 housing units were built in 1971 or earlier, and 75% predate 1980. On homes that age, today's roof is rarely the original, and older decking, layered repairs and ventilation that was never brought up to date are common.
Sources: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database (hail reports since 2006 within 4 miles of Forest Hill); U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates. Data pulled September 2026.
Yes, the full Forest Hill footprint plus the surrounding communities. Our service area covers the DFW metroplex; if you can see it from a Forest Hill rooftop, we probably work there.
Who issues roofing permits in Forest Hill?
Roofing permits in Forest Hill run through the Forest Hill building department. Where a permit is required, we pull it and schedule the inspection as part of the job.
Do you handle both residential and commercial?
Yes, both, as separate disciplines with separate crews and processes. Residential runs from asphalt to premium systems; commercial covers membranes, coatings, and metal.
Our Forest Hill roof has been patched by several companies over the years. Is that a problem?
It's normal here, and it's why documentation matters: our inspection maps what's original, what's prior repair, and what's new damage, so your next decision (and your next claim) starts from evidence instead of mystery.

How old are most homes in Forest Hill?
