Devine At A Glance
What homeowners in Devine should know
The questions we get most
Devine and Medina County sit on the western edge of the San Antonio metro, part of the broader Austin to San Antonio corridor that regional planners expect to grow into a single Central Texas megaregion, much like Dallas and Fort Worth. The Roof Shepherd treats this whole corridor as one region and documents and serves it end to end.
In Devine, 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 Devine’s building department before work begins. The Roof Shepherd documents your roof’s condition and explains your options. If you decide to move forward, permitting and installation are handled through The Roof Shepherd and its vetted partner network.

Worth Knowing

What the storm record means locally
After major hail events, 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.
Local Note
Open exposure on the brush-country flats gives thunderstorm wind a straight run at rooflines here.

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Devine, 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 | 25 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 4 |
| Largest stone recorded | 1.75 in · May 6, 2001 |
| Busiest year | 2009 · 4 events |
| Most common months | April and May |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 70 mph · May 9, 2006 |

What is different about working on Devine homes
What roofs face in this market

The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 70 mph on May 9, 2006.
The largest hail recorded near Devine, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| March 26, 2009 | 1.75″ |
| May 5, 2006 | 1.75″ |
| May 6, 2001 | 1.75″ |
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 Devine 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 Medina 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.

The Roof Shepherd did an amazing job — the company and, more importantly, the crew were fast and reliable. They had our roof and vents done in a timely manner after the recent storms. We upgraded after all the hail and high winds we’ve had over the last few years, and to our surprise it brought a discount on our insurance as well. The house looks great. It was the easiest choice on home maintenance we have ever made. Hands down, I would choose them again and would recommend them to anyone.
Owner Response
Valerie, thank you so much for the kind review and for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof and ventilation work. I’m glad we were able to help after the recent storms and get everything handled in a timely way. Upgrading to an impact-rated roofing system can make a real difference, especially after years of hail and high winds, and it’s great to hear the insurance discount was a helpful surprise as well. I also appreciate you recognizing the crew — fast, reliable, and respectful work matters, and I’m grateful they represented the company well on your home. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve your family.
Excellent work. I appreciate David and the crew making repairs needed on the roof and also taking the time to explain and walk me through everything.
Owner Response
J. S., thank you for taking the time to share this. I appreciate you trusting the crew and me with the tile roof repair in Horseshoe Bay, Texas. I’m glad we were able to make the needed roof repairs and walk you through what we found. Clear explanations and communication are a big part of how I try to handle every repair, especially on tile roofs where the details matter. Thank you again for allowing The Roof Shepherd to help with your home.
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.

Sequence Matters
Devine’s historic Main Street district requires Historic Review Commission approval for exterior modifications, document existing finishes before any painting project on designated structures. Exterior painting and repair work should follow, not precede, roofing documentation. Condition notes from a roof visit often surface fascia rot, gutter separation, and trim damage that affect painting scope and cost.
