Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Navarro County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Corsicana centroid. Counts are reported events, so they undercount: a stone that fell where nobody reported it is not in the record.
Checked October 23, 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.

About Corsicana
Local ground truth for Corsicana properties
Corsicana sits in Navarro County in North Texas, home to roughly 25,591 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). The area rides the DFW hail alley, one of the most hail-struck metros in the country.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Corsicana are likely to be
When Corsicana houses went up, per the Census, and so roughly when their original roofs were put on.
When the houses went up
Corsicana has 9,834 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 1974. 90 percent were built before 2000 and 76 percent before 1990; 6 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.

Permits are a Corsicana 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 Navarro 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 Corsicana, TX homeowners should know about exterior work
Have the roof documented before exterior work, since fascia rot, loose gutters and trim damage often show up.
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Corsicana mixes older homes near its center with newer subdivisions. Older frame and brick homes need routine exterior paint and wood care, while newer builds focus on trim and flashing.
Sequence Matters
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 before a single brush stroke is applied.

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.
We loved working with Roof Shepherd! The people are great and the work was stellar. Would definitely consider working with them again!
Owner Response
Thank you, Isaac! We loved working with you, too. We appreciate you trusting The Roof Shepherd with your home in Round Rock, Texas, and taking the time to share your experience.
