Project Overview


Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Dallas entrusted Arrington Roofing with the replacement of their wind storm damaged metal roof on the bell tower. This historic church required a careful approach that balanced performance, aesthetics, and minimal disruption to daily operations. The result: a clean, durable roof that enhances the building’s timeless architecture while delivering long-term weather protection.

Scope of Work

  • Complete tear-off and replacement of existing roofing system

  • Upgraded flashing and panel attachment to prevent future storm damage.

  • Cleaning and removal of rust from the historic angel sculpture on the dome.

  • Close coordination to maintain a respectful and quiet jobsite during active ministry hours

Challenges & Solutions

  • Preserving Historical Integrity: Roof needed to match the church’s other metal components and mimic the traditional dome method of construction that was being replaced.
    Solution: Since the existing metal panel color was unknown, research was done with multiple metal manufacturers to find the original manufacturer and color to match the other metal components exactly.  The original dome panel was a radiused panel that had a leaf shape curved that bowed in the middle.  Employed craftsmen were trained in tradition fabrication methods to execute the replacement dome  

  • Active Church Campus: Project had to work around events and daily operations Solution: Clear communication, and respectful presence from start to finish and

  • Restricted Equipment Access: Project required execution without the use of heavy equipment that would impede traffic at the Church School and potentially damage parking lots and lawns.

Solution: Construction of scaffolding around the 120 ft tower. The scaffold work platform was established just below the horizontal extension of the dome with a guardrail extending up approximately another 8 feet in height to provide a safe work area for the crew.

Materials Used

  • Custom made 24ga color matched dome panels

Results


Our Redeemer Church Bell Tower now enjoys a refreshed look and is fortified for years to come against future wind storms. This project demonstrates how thoughtful execution and attention to detail can preserve the beauty of a historic property while upgrading its durability.
