Roofers in Wrightsville, AR

Wrightsville is a city in southeastern Pulaski County on Highway 365, near the Arkansas River south of Little Rock. It had 1,542 people at the 2020 Census and is about 27 miles from our Maumelle office.

Wrightsville's low ground and older houses

Wrightsville grew on what was largely wetland near the Arkansas River, and the river has reached it before: in the 1927 flood the Red Cross aided 880 refugees in the Wrightsville area. Low, wet ground affects a house from the roofline down, because every gallon a roof sheds has to drain somewhere.

Very little new housing has gone up here. The town counted 388 housing units in 1990 and 345 in 2020, so most Wrightsville homes are older houses, and roof, fascia and gutter work here is usually about keeping an existing house sound rather than finishing a new one.

Trains made the town: Wrightsville began as a place for them to take on fuel along the Little Rock, Mississippi and Texas Railroad in the 1870s, and it was nearly named Isbell. It stayed unincorporated for about a century, becoming a town in 1973 and a second-class city in 1982. The Wrightsville Unit, opened in 1981 and annexed in 1998 with its 3,300 acres, is the area's largest employer, and the Millie Brooks branch library opened in June 2013.

Severe weather has a record here. StormerSite lists tornado damage on 145th Street near I-530 on April 30, 2010, an EF1 with a 6.9-mile path on April 15, 2011, and power lines blown down 2.2 miles west of town in a report dated June 1, 2026.
