Carrollton At A Glance
What homeowners in Carrollton should know
In Carrollton, 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 Carrollton’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.
Hail Alley
Carrollton sits in North Texas, which records the most hailstorms in Texas in a typical year, the state logged 878 major hail events in 2024. Documentation after a storm protects your position before any contractor conversation. Carrollton is a built-out Dallas-area suburb spanning Dallas, Denton, and Collin counties, with a mature housing stock exposed to recurring North Texas hail.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds 247 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Carrollton since 1996, inside the North Texas hail alley. The busiest single year in that record was 2011, with 33 reports inside the ring.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Dallas County neighborhoods have an HOA with rules on shingle color and material. Given the hail exposure, impact-resistant (UL 2218 Class 3 to 4) shingles are worth discussing. Confirm HOA rules before selecting materials.
Common Roofing Issues
Repeated large hail leaves bruised shingles, lost granules and dented vents and flashing. A documented inspection records those before the next storm makes them worse.

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Carrollton, 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 | 228 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 54 |
| Largest stone recorded | 3.00 in · April 5, 2003 |
| Busiest year | 2011 · 33 events |
| Most common months | May and April |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 83 mph · May 28, 2024 |
| Radar hail days, 1 in or larger | 224 days · 2000-2026 · largest signature 4.00 in |
| Preliminary reports, last 12 months | 3 reports of 1 in or larger · largest 2.00 in on June 2, 2026 |
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Dallas County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Carrollton 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 Carrollton, 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 Carrollton, from the National Weather Service archive. 150 reports from 2006 to 2025, 51 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 2011. If you owned your roof through any of these dates, the row is the reason to know what it took.

Hail History
Documented storm exposure in Carrollton
Hail Frequency
NOAA storm records log 102 hail events within 10 miles of Carrollton since 2018, 25 of them inside the city’s immediate 6 mile ring. The largest verified stone measured 3 inches on June 6, 2018. Since 2018, hail here peaks in May and March.
What To Document
Bruised shingles, granule loss, and soft-metal damage to gutters, vents, and flashing, often invisible from the ground.
What the storm record means locally
After a major hail event, 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
Neighborhoods across Carrollton differ in lot elevation, tree cover and roof age. A record of your block beats an estimate for the whole area. After any significant storm, a documented record of visible conditions protects your position.
Verified Storm Record
Verified hail and wind events across the Dallas and Fort Worth metroplex, the region Carrollton sits in. 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, and Insurance Council of Texas, 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 14 hail reports within 10 miles of Carrollton, 2 of them inside 6 miles. The largest measured 2 inches on June 2, 2026, about 9.2 miles away. Damaging wind has been reported 8 times in the same period, most recently 64 mph on May 19, 2026. 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 Carrollton
Local ground truth for Carrollton properties
Carrollton sits in Dallas County in North Texas, home to roughly 135,456 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). NOAA storm records log 102 hail events within ten miles since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 3″ on April 5, 2003.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Carrollton are likely to be
When the houses went up
Carrollton has 53,557 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 1988. 72 percent were built before 2000 and 56 percent before 1990; 14 percent have been built since 2010. Half or more of the homes here predate 2000. An original asphalt-shingle roof from that era is at or past the 20-to-30-year service life typically cited for asphalt shingles, and many will already be on a second roof, which is worth confirming from a permit or a receipt rather than assuming.

What is different about working on Carrollton homes
What roofs face in this market
Carrollton sits in Dallas County, population 135,456. Counting hail reports of every size, the NOAA Storm Events archive logs 228 hail reports within ten miles of Carrollton from 2000 to 2026, 54 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 3.0 inches. Counting reports of every size, 2011 was the busiest year in that record, with 33 reports. Activity concentrates in May and April. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 83 mph on May 28, 2024.
The largest hail recorded near Carrollton, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| June 6, 2018 | 3.0″ |
| April 3, 2012 | 3.0″ |
| April 5, 2003 | 3.0″ |
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 Carrollton 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 Dallas 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 Carrollton homeowners should know about exterior work
Managed by The Roof Shepherd
For exterior repairs (siding, painting, epoxy, wood) in North Texas, The Roof Shepherd schedules local subcontractor crews as they have openings. We document exterior condition during the roof visit so the work starts from an accurate record.
Sequence Matters
Get the roof documented first. Exterior work comes after. A roof visit often turns up fascia rot, pulled gutters and trim damage that change what the exterior job costs before any work begins.

Homeowner Reviews
I happened to stumble across David while out walking my dogs and I am so glad I did! Godley had just been hit with a hail storm and needed someone to take a look at my roof to check for damage. David came the very next day to inspect. He showed me pictures of the damage and answered any questions I had. Thankfully the damage was not extensive that a roof replacement was needed but if indeed a replacement was needed I would’ve felt at ease with David completing the process. I especially liked his professionalism and knowledge. Should I ever need anyone for roofing services I will definitely be calling him!
Owner Response
Thank you, Dominique, for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof inspection after the hailstorm in Godley, Texas. I appreciate your kind words and am glad I could provide a thorough inspection and clearly explain what I found.
I also really enjoyed meeting your puppy during the visit. That was definitely a highlight of my day. If you ever have questions about your roof or need help after another storm, I will be glad to assist.
Dave was great — he went above and beyond what any company would do. There were major issues with my insurance company, and he was there every step of the way helping me get things done. Dave and his crew were great — they made sure my motorcycle was covered up properly during the work, and they cleaned up beautifully when they were done.
Owner Response
Thank you so much for this review and for trusting me and the crew with your home. I know this project had some difficult moments, especially with the insurance side of the process, and I’m grateful I was able to help with documentation, communication, and support along the way. It also means a lot that you noticed the care the crew took around your property and the cleanup after the roof was completed, because protecting the property matters just as much as the roof itself. I truly appreciate your kind words and your trust.
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.
Carrollton FAQs
Common questions in Carrollton

How quickly can I get a roof inspection in Carrollton?
Active leaks and post-storm documentation are prioritized. Send your address and a short description of the concern and we’ll follow up with a current estimate.
Is Carrollton in a hail-prone area?
NOAA records log 102 hail events within 10 miles of Carrollton since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 3 inches on April 5, 2003. Carrollton sits in the North Texas hail corridor, among the most hail-active metro areas in the country. Documenting visible roof and gutter conditions after any significant storm is good practice.
What roofing holds up best in Carrollton?
Architectural asphalt shingles are most common. Given the hail exposure, impact-resistant (UL 2218 Class 3 to 4) shingles are worth discussing, particularly for homes carrying higher deductibles.
Does The Roof Shepherd offer painting or siding in Carrollton?
Yes. The Roof Shepherd manages painting and siding work in North Texas with local subcontractor crews, scheduled as availability is confirmed. We document exterior condition during the roof visit so the work starts from an accurate record.
How do I get started in Carrollton?
Use the Get Help form with your Carrollton address and a description of your concern. Submissions come straight to us and a person reads every one.
Does Carrollton get a lot of hail?
Yes. Carrollton sits in the Dallas and Fort Worth hail corridor, one of the most active in the country, with the heaviest risk from March through June. Hail bruises shingles and shortens roof life, often without damage you can see from the ground.
What is the biggest roofing risk in Carrollton?
Hail and wind. North Texas spring storms bring large hail and, less often, tornadoes. Documenting roof condition after any major hail or wind event protects your position.
When is severe weather season in Carrollton?
Spring, roughly March through June, is the peak for hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes, when Gulf moisture meets dry plains air. A second smaller window can occur in the fall.
