Roofing Contractor in Johnson County, TX

Our Irving crew takes on jobs as a roofing contractor in Johnson County, driving about 55 minutes to Burleson and 75 to Cleburne, the county seat. Here tornado history, I-35W commuter growth and older railroad-era towns meet, and each inspection costs you nothing and comes with answers in English or Spanish.

Johnson County sits south of Fort Worth, where I-35W and US 67 cross open ranchland on the way to Cleburne. Venus and Burleson are 50 to 55 minutes from our Irving base; Cleburne, the county seat, is about 75 minutes and 54 miles away. The county's roofing story is shaped by one date: on May 15, 2013, an EF3 tornado struck Cleburne, and the rebuilt roofs from that spring are now well into their second decade of Texas sun.

Tornado Damage Roof Repair After Cleburne's 2013 Storm

Cleburne roofing work still reflects that tornado. Roofs replaced in 2013 and 2014 have now seen many hail and heat seasons, and any roof installed in the rush after a major storm deserves a closer look. When we inspect a home there, we look for nail placement, flashing shortcuts and ventilation problems as well as fresh storm damage. Homes near Lake Pat Cleburne and Cleburne State Park also sit on more open ground where wind has room to build.

Johnson County Roof Risks: Tornado Wind, Railroad-Era Homes and New Builds

Johnson County's 210,547 residents (2024 estimate) live under three very different kinds of roof. Around downtown Cleburne, which grew as a Santa Fe railroad shop town, and in the older blocks of Alvarado and Keene, many homes date from the early 1900s through the 1950s. They tend to be pier-and-beam frame houses with board decking, low eaves and porch roofs added over the years, and a re-roof often uncovers more than one old layer.

Burleson and Joshua carry the second type: 1980s through 2010s brick homes along I-35W and SH 174, now due for a first or second replacement. The third is the newest construction in Venus and around the US 67 interchange, where roofs went on in the last decade over young landscaping.

What ties them together is open ground. South of the Tarrant County line the county opens into pasture and cropland, so wind arrives with little in its way. Homes near the shore of Lake Pat Cleburne, on Cleburne's south side, add a stretch of open water to that run. The 2013 tornado showed the worst case, and ordinary spring fronts still peel ridge caps and lift tab edges, with hail riding in on the same storms. That is why our inspections here check fastening patterns and ridge cap adhesion, not only hail hits.

Old Town Burleson to Keene: Roofs Along I-35W and SH 174

Burleson roof replacement jobs range from homes around Old Town to 1980s–2010s subdivisions on both sides of I-35W. South on SH 174, Joshua roofing sits between Burleson and Cleburne with a mix of older and newer homes, and Keene, home of Southwestern Adventist University, adds older homes on the streets around the campus.

New Subdivisions on US 67: Venus and Alvarado

Alvarado roof repair calls come from both older homes near downtown and new neighborhoods near the I-35W and US 67 junction. Venus has more than doubled since the 2010 Census, so many of its roofs are first-generation builder installs now facing their first serious hailstorms.

Call (725) 745-8803 to set up a free inspection.

On a claim, we can meet your adjuster to show the damage we recorded, then work to the scope the insurer signs off on; our hail damage roof repair page walks through each step.

Roofing in Johnson County: questions we hear

What should Johnson County homeowners do right after a tornado or severe wind?

Stay safe first, then take photos of the roof, yard and any interior water before cleanup begins. If the roof is open, a temporary cover limits further damage; we can tarp the opening and document what we see. Report the claim to your insurer, keep receipts for emergency work, and avoid signing with anyone who promises to cover your deductible, which Texas law prohibits.

Is Burleson part of Johnson County or Tarrant County?

Both. Most of Burleson lies in Johnson County, with its northern edge in Tarrant County, which is why it appears on both lists. For roofing, what matters is the City of Burleson itself: it handles permits and contractor registration for addresses inside the city limits, whichever county line your house sits on.

Do you cover smaller Johnson County towns such as Venus and Keene?

Yes. Venus, about 50 minutes and 37 miles from Irving on US 67, is one of the closer Johnson County towns for us, and Keene, near Southwestern Adventist University, is about 65 minutes away. The free inspection and written estimate are the same as in Burleson or Cleburne, and we can explain everything in English or Spanish.
