Churches & Institutions

Churches, cathedrals, synagogues, mosques, and other houses of worship present some of the most challenging and rewarding roofing projects in the industry. JRH Construction & Roofing, a family-owned, veteran-operated contractor headquartered in Little Elm, TX, has earned a reputation as Dallas-Fort Worth's go-to contractor for religious and institutional buildings that feature complex architectural elements — towering steeples, curved domes, steep multi-pitch roof systems, decorative dormers, and bell towers. With GAF Master Elite certification, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status, and over $10 million in bonding capacity, JRH brings the expertise and financial strength these specialized projects demand.

Steeple roofing is among the most technically demanding work in JRH's portfolio. Steeples combine extreme height, steep angles (often 12:12 pitch or steeper), and exposure to wind loads that far exceed what standard roof surfaces experience. We use specialized rigging, scaffolding, and fall protection systems to access and reroof steeples safely across churches throughout Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Richardson, Arlington, and the entire DFW metroplex. Materials range from standing seam metal panels (the most common choice for DFW steeples, priced at $12-25/sqft installed) to copper cladding for historic restorations and slate for traditional Gothic-style churches.

Dome roofing requires an entirely different approach. Curved surfaces cannot be roofed with standard flat panels or shingles — they require tapered metal panels, flexible membrane systems, or hand-formed copper sections that follow the dome's radius precisely. Our local DFW sheet metal fabrication partners produce custom-curved panels for each project, ensuring watertight performance across every inch of the dome surface. For churches with both domes and standard roof areas, JRH engineers transitions between systems that are both waterproof and architecturally seamless.

Beyond the technical challenges, JRH understands the pastoral side of working with faith communities. We coordinate construction schedules around worship services, weddings, funerals, and community events. We maintain quiet, clean job sites appropriate for the setting. And we work with church boards, building committees, and denominational approval processes to ensure every stakeholder is informed and comfortable throughout the project. Many of our church projects across DFW are insurance-funded after storm damage — Dallas-Fort Worth experiences multiple significant hail events each year — and we manage the entire claims process with the same A-to-Z approach we bring to all our work.
