Boerne At A Glance
What homeowners in Boerne should know
The questions we get most
Boerne and Kendall County sit on the western edge of the San Antonio metro, part of the broader Austin to San Antonio corridor that regional planners expect to grow into a single Central Texas megaregion, much like Dallas and Fort Worth. The Roof Shepherd treats this whole corridor as one region and documents and serves it end to end.
In Boerne, roofing permit and inspection rules are set by the city and can vary from one community to the next. Texas has no statewide roofing license, so confirm requirements with Boerne’s building department before work begins. The Roof Shepherd documents your roof’s condition and explains your options. If you decide to move forward, The Roof Shepherd manages the whole project, from the contract and materials to the crew, the final walkthrough, and your written workmanship warranty.
Roofing Insight
Boerne’s Hill Country terrain produces localized storm cells from both the west and southwest, hilltop properties take more wind and hail than sheltered ones.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds 68 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Boerne since 1996, squarely on the I-35 hail corridor. The busiest single year in that record was 2021, with 11 reports inside the ring.
Exterior & Painting Note
Boerne’s historic Main Street district requires Historic Review Commission approval for exterior modifications, document existing finishes before any painting project on contributing structures.
Common Roofing Issues
The common problems in Boerne are the same as across Central Texas. Sun wears off granules. Hail dents vents and gutters. Pipe boots fail. Older attics vent poorly. The specific soil and humidity conditions in Kendall County add local nuance to each.

Worth Knowing
Boerne sits on the Cibolo Creek in Kendall County, the city’s German Hill Country heritage is preserved in its historic Main Street district and the annual Berges Fest celebration.
What the storm record means locally
After major hail events, out-of-state contractors arrive quickly. Documentation before any contractor conversation gives you a written record of visible conditions, and protects your position whether you file a claim or not. The Roof Shepherd documents first. Decisions come after.
Local Note
Boerne is one of the fastest-growing Hill Country communities in Texas, driven by San Antonio professionals seeking acreage estates along the I-10 corridor.

What has actually fallen on Boerne
Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Boerne, 2000-2026. It is not an estimate and not a sales figure. If your roof was under one of these dates, that is a documentation question worth answering.
| Hail events on record | 60 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 15 |
| Largest stone recorded | 4.00 in · May 20, 2001 |
| Busiest year | 2021 · 11 events |
| Most common months | May and March |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 78 mph · April 2, 2017 |
| Radar hail days, 1 in or larger | 136 days · 2000-2026 · largest signature 4.00 in |
| Preliminary reports, last 12 months | none of 1 in or larger on file |
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Kendall County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Boerne centroid. Counts are reported events, so they undercount: a stone that fell where nobody reported it is not in the record.
Checked September 7, 2026 against two feeds that do not share the archive's bias: radar hail signatures from the NEXRAD hail detection algorithm (NOAA NCEI Severe Weather Data Inventory, same 10 mile radius, 2000-2026), counted as days with a signature of one inch or larger, and the Storm Prediction Center's preliminary reports for the last 12 months, which are unreviewed and never a competing total. A radar day and a reported event are different units and are not expected to match: the archive needs a witness and undercounts, radar needs none and can flag hail that melted before it landed. What fell on one roof is settled by a documented inspection, not by any of these counts.
Year by year
Hail in Boerne, 2006 to 2025
Twenty seasons, one row each
One row per year, newest first. Each row counts the hail reports of one inch or larger within ten miles of Boerne, from the National Weather Service archive. 43 reports from 2006 to 2025, 13 of them at or above the 1.75-inch severe threshold. Counting only stones of one inch or larger, the busiest year in this table was 2021. If you owned your roof through any of these dates, the row is the reason to know what it took.

Kendall County Storm Record
Documented storm exposure in Boerne
Hail Frequency
NOAA storm records log 33 hail events within 10 miles of Boerne since 2018, 19 of them inside the city’s immediate 6 mile ring. The largest verified stone measured 2.75 inches on May 3, 2021. Since 2018, hail here peaks in May and March.
Largest Recorded
Kendall County’s benchmark events include recurring Cibolo Creek flash flooding around Boerne, the catastrophic July 2025 Hill Country flooding that prompted Boerne-area rescues, and large regional hail such as the April 2016 San Antonio storm just southeast of the county (NWS Austin/San Antonio).
What the storm record means locally
After major hail events, out-of-state contractors arrive quickly. Documentation before any contractor conversation gives you a written record of visible conditions, and protects your position whether you file a claim or not. The Roof Shepherd documents first. Decisions come after.
Neighborhood Exposure
Hilltop and ridge properties in Boerne’s Hill Country terrain experience amplified wind uplift, fascia and ridge cap conditions deserve particular attention after any storm event.
How these figures are corroborated
Hail data sourced from NOAA Storm Prediction Center (SPC) filtered reports. Reports reflect spotter-confirmed events within 10 miles of city center. Not a formal risk assessment.
Verified Storm Record
Verified hail and wind history for the San Antonio and South-Central Texas region, where Boerne sits, next to the Central Texas record above. Roof condition changes with every storm season, which is why the homeowner should own the documentation.

Where these figures come from
Figures drawn from public NOAA, National Weather Service, U.S. Census, and Texas Department of Insurance records and contemporaneous reporting. Not a formal risk assessment.
Live NOAA record Since August 2024, NOAA has logged 6 hail reports within 10 miles of Boerne, 3 of them inside 6 miles. The largest measured 1 inch on May 26, 2025, about 7.3 miles away. Damaging wind has been reported 1 time in the same period, most recently 60 mph on May 26, 2025. These are NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary reports covering August 13, 2024 to September 11, 2026. A report near a property confirms hail fell nearby. It does not confirm that any particular roof was damaged, and it is not a coverage determination.
About Boerne
Local ground truth for Boerne properties
Boerne sits in Kendall County in Central Texas, home to roughly 22,712 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). NOAA storm records log 33 hail events within ten miles since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 4″ on May 20, 2001.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Boerne are likely to be
When the houses went up
Boerne has 7,816 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 2006. 32 percent were built before 2000 and 22 percent before 1990; 37 percent have been built since 2010. A mixed stock. Roughly 32 in 100 homes carry a roof that could be original to a pre-2000 build, while 37 in 100 were built since 2010 and are on a first roof. Roof age is the first thing an inspection establishes, because the two groups have different questions.
| Year built | Homes | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Built 2020 or later | 389 | 5% |
| Built 2010 to 2019 | 2,481 | 32% |

Local Conditions
What is different about working on Boerne homes
What roofs face in this market
Boerne sits in Kendall County, population 22,712. Counting hail reports of every size, the NOAA Storm Events archive logs 60 hail reports within ten miles of Boerne from 2000 to 2026, 15 of them at or above the 1.75 inch severe threshold, the size generally associated with roof damage. The largest stone in that record measured 4.0 inches. Counting reports of every size, 2021 was the busiest year in that record, with 11 reports. Activity concentrates in May and March. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 78 mph on April 2, 2017.
The largest hail recorded near Boerne, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| May 3, 2021 | 2.75″ |
| May 27, 2009 | 4.0″ |
| May 20, 2001 | 4.0″ |
If your roof was on the house for any of those dates, that is worth documenting whether or not you ever filed anything. A dated condition record is far easier to produce now than to reconstruct later.
Permits are a Boerne question, not a Texas question. Texas has no statewide building code for residential roofing. Each city and county adopts its own, so the threshold that triggers a permit, the fee, and whether a deck inspection is required before cover-up are all set locally in Kendall County. A contractor who cannot tell you which jurisdiction issues your permit, and who pulls it, has not done this here often. We pull it in our own name.

Exterior & Painting
What Boerne homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Some HOAs specify approved roofing materials and colors. Check the current rules before ordering replacement material.
Sequence Matters
Boerne’s historic Main Street district requires Historic Review Commission approval for exterior modifications, document existing finishes before any painting project on designated structures. Get the roof documented first. Painting and exterior repairs come after. Condition notes from a roof visit often surface fascia rot, gutter separation, and trim damage that affect painting scope and cost.

These are verified Google reviews from homeowners we’ve served across Central Texas.
The Roof Shepherd did an amazing job — the company and, more importantly, the crew were fast and reliable. They had our roof and vents done in a timely manner after the recent storms. We upgraded after all the hail and high winds we’ve had over the last few years, and to our surprise it brought a discount on our insurance as well. The house looks great. It was the easiest choice on home maintenance we have ever made. Hands down, I would choose them again and would recommend them to anyone.
Owner Response
Valerie, thank you so much for the kind review and for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof and ventilation work. I’m glad we were able to help after the recent storms and get everything handled in a timely way. Upgrading to an impact-rated roofing system can make a real difference, especially after years of hail and high winds, and it’s great to hear the insurance discount was a helpful surprise as well. I also appreciate you recognizing the crew — fast, reliable, and respectful work matters, and I’m grateful they represented the company well on your home. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve your family.
Excellent work. I appreciate David and the crew making repairs needed on the roof and also taking the time to explain and walk me through everything.
Owner Response
J. S., thank you for taking the time to share this. I appreciate you trusting the crew and me with the tile roof repair in Horseshoe Bay, Texas. I’m glad we were able to make the needed roof repairs and walk you through what we found. Clear explanations and communication are a big part of how I try to handle every repair, especially on tile roofs where the details matter. Thank you again for allowing The Roof Shepherd to help with your home.
If you’re looking for a roof replacement, look no further than the Roof Shepherd himself, David. A few months ago, an exterminator discovered a hole in our roof while checking for squirrels. David and his crew went out of their way and placed a solid, temporary patch over the hole. David and his crew did this at 11:30 at night, hours before severe weather hit the area. David did this right at the beginning of the process which most roofers would never bother to do. David and the crew did an excellent job, along with the full replacement of our gutters!!! The roof looks great and we are extremely happy with the result. David stayed in constant contact throughout the process and explained how to smoothly get things done with the insurance company, which we all know can be a pain. David’s knowledge in roofing is second to none, so if you are close to replacement, or have questions about the process, trust me, call the Roof Shepherd!!!
Owner Response
Lonnie, thank you for the incredible review and for trusting The Roof Shepherd team with your home in Cedar Park. That late-night emergency response was definitely one of those real roofing moments, but the goal was simple: protect the home before the weather moved in and keep a roof opening from turning into interior damage. I’m grateful we were able to help at the very beginning of the process, then follow it through with the full re-roof and gutter replacement. I also appreciate you mentioning the communication side of the job. Roofing and insurance-related work can be stressful, so my goal is always to keep homeowners informed, prepared, and protected from start to finish. Thank you again for the trust, the kind words, and the opportunity to take care of your home.
