Conroe At A Glance
What homeowners in Conroe should know
In Conroe, 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 Conroe’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.
Wind & Hurricane Country
Conroe’s roofing risk is wind, hurricane, and derecho more than hail. Documentation after any major wind event protects your position before any contractor conversation. 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 verified gust in Conroe in NOAA’s record measured 64 mph on June 12, 2012. 54 thunderstorm wind reports sit within 10 miles of Conroe since 1996.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Montgomery County neighborhoods have an HOA with rules on shingle color and material. In hurricane country, wind-rated installation matters as much as the product. Confirm HOA rules before selecting materials.
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.
Conroe Snapshot
Weather history & local facts
Hail and wind on record here
Conroe’s verified NOAA record since 2018 includes 1 inch hail at Granger on May 23, 2023, and 0.75 inch hail at Lake Conroe Dam on May 2, 2024. 26 thunderstorm wind events and 1 tornado report sit inside the same 10 mile window. Peak hail months here: May. Across Montgomery County as a whole, NOAA logged 26 hail events from 2016 through 2025, with hail to 1.75 inches, plus 73 damaging thunderstorm wind events and 7 tornado reports.
Worth Knowing
Most storm damage to a roof isn’t visible from the ground. A documented inspection captures bruising, lifted shingles, and flashing issues before they turn into leaks.
Local Note
Conroe sits in Montgomery County, within the Houston and Gulf Coast region. Roofing guidance and storm documentation are available region-wide, and The Roof Shepherd manages installation with subcontractor crews under our direction.

What has actually fallen on Conroe
Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Conroe, 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 | 53 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 11 |
| Largest stone recorded | 2.75 in · May 2, 2000 |
| Busiest year | 2009 · 11 events |
| Most common months | March and May |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 68 mph · May 26, 2025 |
| Radar hail days, 1 in or larger | 252 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 · 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 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 Conroe, 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 Conroe, from the National Weather Service archive. 19 reports from 2006 to 2025, 6 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 2009. If you owned your roof through any of these dates, the row is the reason to know what it took.

Wind & Storm History
Documented storm exposure in Conroe
Wind & Hurricane Frequency
NOAA logs 81 verified thunderstorm wind reports within 10 miles of Conroe since 1996; the busiest year was 2001 with 7 reports. Hurricane season runs June through November on this coast.
What To Document
Lifted or creased shingles, moved flashing, exposed decking, debris hits, and water getting in after a storm.
What the storm record means locally
After a major hurricane or derecho, 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 Conroe 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.
What the record confirms
Verified storm record for the Houston and Gulf Coast region Conroe sits in. Roof condition changes with every season, which is why the homeowner should own the documentation.
April 27 golf ball size hail
NOAA verifies 1.75 inch hail in Willis on April 27, 1998, a golf ball size stone.
May 2 baseball size hail
NOAA verifies 2.75 inch hail in Conroe on May 2, 2000, a baseball size stone.
Hurricane Harvey
A Category 4 landfall that stalled and dropped up to 60 inches of rain, the wettest tropical cyclone in U.S. history, with damage estimated near 125 billion dollars.
Hurricane Beryl
A July 8 landfall with a 97 mph gust knocked out power to about 2.2 million customers and stripped shingles across the metro.
May 26 78 mph gust
NOAA verifies a 78 mph thunderstorm gust at Granger on May 26, 2025.
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 Damaging wind has been reported 1 time in the same period, most recently 59 mph on July 12, 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 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
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% |

Local Conditions
What is different about working on Conroe homes
What roofs face in this market
Conroe sits in Montgomery County, population 114,581. Counting hail reports of every size, the NOAA Storm Events archive logs 53 hail reports within ten miles of Conroe from 2000 to 2026, 11 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 2.75 inches. Counting reports of every size, 2009 was the busiest year in that record, with 11 reports. Activity concentrates in March and May. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 68 mph on May 26, 2025.
The largest hail recorded near Conroe, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| February 13, 2005 | 2.75″ |
| May 2, 2000 | 2.75″ |
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 Conroe 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 Montgomery 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 Conroe homeowners should know about exterior work
Managed by The Roof Shepherd
For exterior repairs (siding, painting, epoxy, wood) in the Houston and Gulf Coast region, 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
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.
David did an excellent job replacing our roof and gutters. I was very impressed with how clean they left the yard. They used good quality underlayment, unlike the previous roofer. Great communication. Our insurance adjuster knew who he was and it helped for a very smooth claim process. Highly recommend!
Owner Response
Dr. Liboiron, thank you for the thoughtful review. It was a privilege to help with your roof replacement and gutter installation in Pflugerville, Texas. I’m glad the communication, cleanup, underlayment selection, and overall installation process stood out to you. We try to treat every roofing project with clear documentation, quality materials, and a clean jobsite from start to finish. I also appreciate you mentioning how smooth the process felt. That kind of trust matters, especially when a homeowner is navigating a roof replacement and coordinating details along the way. Thank you again for allowing me to serve your family.
I recently got a roof installed and my trim painted with this company. The process was simple — David helped me pick out colors for the roof, and I had no idea there were so many to choose from. I appreciate David and his crew for taking care of my home and respecting my property by making sure everything was masked and cleaned up by the end of the process. These guys were on time, efficient, took care of everything I asked for, kept me updated throughout, and took care of the small details I was picky about. I would highly recommend!
Owner Response
Sloan, I really appreciate you taking the time to share this. It was a pleasure helping with your roof installation, trim painting, and the color-selection process. I’m glad the process felt simple and that the crew respected your property with proper masking, cleanup, and communication throughout the project. Those details matter, especially when we are working on someone’s home. Thank you again for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof and painting work.
