Conroe At A Glance
What homeowners in Conroe should know
How Conroe ranks for large hail and home age, and who sets permit rules here.
Conroe, in Montgomery County, is about 157 miles and 3 hours 10 minutes by road from our Round Rock base. Roofing permit rules are set locally, and Texas has no statewide roofing license, so we confirm the rules for your address before work starts.
Wind & Hurricane Country
Conroe’s roofing risk is wind, hurricane, and derecho more than hail. A written record after any major wind event protects your position before any repair decision. Conroe is the Montgomery County seat north of Houston, a fast-growing city exposed to hurricanes, tropical rain, and inland wind.
Wind & Storm Exposure
The strongest thunderstorm wind gust reported within ten miles from 2000 to 2026 was 78 mph, on May 26, 2025. NOAA logged 54 thunderstorm wind reports within ten miles of Conroe from 2000 to 2026.
The Homes Here
The median home in Conroe was built in 2004, and 31 percent of homes here were built before 1990. Of the other cities on this site, 81 percent have older homes than Conroe.
Common Roofing Issues
Wind lifts and creases shingles, moves flashing, exposes decking and lets water in. A documented inspection records those before the next storm makes them worse.

Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Montgomery County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Conroe centroid. Counts are reported events, so they undercount: a stone that fell where nobody reported it is not in the record.
Checked November 1, 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 Conroe, 2006 to 2025
One row per year of hail reports one inch or larger near Conroe, newest first, from the weather archive.

Where these figures come from
Figures drawn from public NOAA, National Weather Service, 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 September 2024, NOAA has logged no hail reports within 10 miles of Conroe. Damaging wind has been reported 1 time in that period, most recently 59 mph on July 12, 2025. These are NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary reports covering September 30, 2024 to October 29, 2026. A report near a property confirms the storm reached the area. It does not confirm that any particular roof was damaged, and it is not a coverage determination.
About Conroe
Local ground truth for Conroe properties
Conroe sits in Montgomery County in the Houston and Gulf Coast region, home to roughly 114,581 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). Gulf moisture and hurricane-season wind set the roofing risk profile here.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Conroe are likely to be
Census figures on when Conroe homes were built, which tells you roughly when their first roofs went on.
When the houses went up
Conroe has 40,219 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 2004. 42 percent were built before 2000 and 31 percent before 1990; 37 percent have been built since 2010. A mixed stock. Roughly 42 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 | 2,389 | 6% |
| Built 2010 to 2019 | 12,314 | 31% |
| Built 2000 to 2009 | 8,438 | 21% |
| Built 1990 to 1999 | 4,553 | 11% |
| Built 1980 to 1989 | 4,941 | 12% |

What the city's own documents say
Conroe's published guidance, in its building FAQ, says re-roofing a house needs no permit unless the structural sheathing or rafters must be replaced. If they do, check with the permit office first.
The city lists the 2012 International Residential Code, as adopted by the State of Texas. Conroe keeps a Do-Not-Knock Registry, and solicitors may not knock at listed homes unless invited.
Read at the city's own pages and code on October 14, 2026. The city's current document governs if it changes, so we confirm the rule for your address before work starts. Our permits and codes by city page explains how Texas cities set these rules.
Exterior & Painting
What Conroe homeowners should know about exterior work
Get the roof documented first, since a roof visit often turns up fascia, gutter and trim damage.
Managed by The Roof Shepherd
Exterior work in Conroe, from painting and epoxy coatings to siding, drywall, gutters and wood repair, is done here the same way it is done everywhere we work in Texas, by The Roof Shepherd team, start to finish. 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
David was amazing! Highly recommend for all roofing needs! He’s honest and reliable!
Owner Response
Thank you, Brandie. I appreciate you trusting me with the new construction roof inspection on your home in Lexington, Texas. A new roof should be installed the way the shingle manufacturer's instructions and the building code require, and you deserve to know that before you sign off. I was glad to walk you through what to look for, document what I found, and help you ask your builder the right questions. Thank you for the recommendation. It means a great deal as I keep building The Roof Shepherd one honest inspection at a time.
David did an amazing job working with us to get our roof repaired during the sale of our home. He was very responsive to communication, knowledgeable, kept to his schedules, and was very easy to work with. If we were keeping the home, I definitely would have hired him for a full roof replacement when the time came. Would definitely recommend using his services.
Owner Response
Thank you so much for the kind review. I really appreciate the opportunity to help with the roof repair during the sale of your home. I know timing, communication, and documentation matter in that situation, so I’m glad I was able to help make the process easier. Your recommendation means a lot, and I wish you all the best with your next chapter.
It has been a year since my roof was replaced by the Roof Shepherd crew, and so far no complaints, no leaks, and my roof looks amazing! Working with David since our first text message was so easy communicating my needs and expectations — I could not be happier.
Owner Response
Ofranel, thank you for sharing this. It means a lot hearing that a year later the roof still looks great, there are no leaks, and everything is holding up the way it should. I also appreciate you mentioning the communication and process. My goal is always to make the project clear, easy, and handled with care from start to finish. Thank you again for trusting me and The Roof Shepherd with your home.
