Cypress At A Glance
What homeowners in Cypress should know
How Cypress ranks for large hail and home age, and who sets permit rules here.
Cypress, in Harris County, is about 139 miles and 2 hours 44 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
Cypress’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. Cypress is a fast-growing Harris County community northwest of Houston, with expanding subdivisions exposed to hurricanes, tropical flooding, and hail.
Wind & Storm Exposure
The strongest thunderstorm wind gust reported within ten miles from 2000 to 2026 was 104 mph, on May 16, 2024. NOAA logged 26 thunderstorm wind reports within ten miles of Cypress from 2000 to 2026.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Harris 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.
Cypress Snapshot

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.

| Largest stone recorded | 2.75 in · April 19, 2015 |
| Busiest year | 2020 · 8 events |
| Most common months | June and April |

| Radar hail days, 1 in or larger | 257 days · 2000-2026 · largest signature 3.75 in |

Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Harris County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Cypress 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.

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 9 hail reports within 10 miles of Cypress, 4 of them inside 6 miles. The largest measured 1.5 inches on December 24, 2024, about 1.9 miles away. These are NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary reports covering September 30, 2024 to October 29, 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.

Check which side of the line Cypress falls on. Harris County is split for windstorm purposes: the portion east of Highway 146 sits inside Texas Windstorm Insurance Association territory, where roofing work generally requires a Texas Department of Insurance WPI-8 certificate issued after inspection. West of it, the requirement does not apply. Confirm the address before scoping the work, because it changes the inspection sequence.

Roof permits and code in Cypress
What the city's own documents say about a re-roof permit and code here, and the date they were read.
What the city's documents show
Cypress is an unincorporated community, so Harris County regulates development outside city limits. The county's permit FAQ says a permit is needed for all development, but it does not address re-roofing.
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 Cypress 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 Cypress, 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.
