Granbury At A Glance
What homeowners in Granbury should know
Hail Alley
Granbury and Hood County sit in what meteorologists call “Hail Alley.” North Texas records the most hailstorms in Texas in a typical year, the state logged 529 hail events in 2024 alone. Independent documentation after a storm protects your position before any contractor conversation. Granbury is the Hood County seat and one of the fastest-growing large cities in Texas, where North Texas hail and wind reach an expanding housing stock.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds 142 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Granbury since 1996, inside the North Texas hail alley. The busiest single year in that record was 2021, with 20 reports inside the ring.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Hood County neighborhoods carry HOA architectural review requirements on shingle color and material. Given the hail exposure, impact-resistant (UL 2218 Class 3 to 4) shingles are worth discussing, confirm HOA rules before selecting materials.
Common Roofing Issues
From historic homes near the Stockyards to newer builds across west Granbury, repeated large-hail exposure means bruised shingles, granule loss, and soft-metal damage to vents and flashing, conditions a documented inspection captures before they worsen.

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.

Common questions in Granbury
Does The Roof Shepherd work in Granbury?
Yes. The Roof Shepherd provides roof inspection, storm documentation, and homeowner guidance across Granbury and Hood County, plus full roofing through our trusted partner network, from inspection through installation, on one consistent documentation standard.
How quickly can I get a roof inspection in Granbury?
Active leaks and post-storm documentation are prioritized. Send your address and a short description of the concern and we’ll follow up with a current estimate.
Is Granbury in a hail-prone area?
NOAA records log 60 hail events within 10 miles of Granbury since 2018, with verified stones up to 2 inches (March 1, 2023). Granbury sits in the North Texas hail corridor, among the most hail-active metro areas in the country. Documenting visible roof and gutter conditions after any significant storm is good practice.
What roofing materials hold up best against North Texas hail?
Architectural asphalt shingles are most common. Given the hail exposure, impact-resistant (UL 2218 Class 3 to 4) shingles are worth discussing, particularly for homes carrying higher deductibles. Confirm any HOA material rules first.
Does The Roof Shepherd offer painting or siding in Granbury?
Those services are coordinated through vetted local partners in North Texas as availability is confirmed. The Roof Shepherd documents exterior condition during the roof visit so any partner work starts from an accurate record.
How do I get started in Granbury?
Use the Get Help form with your Granbury address and a description of your concern. Submissions are reviewed the same day during business hours.
Does Granbury get a lot of hail?
Yes. Granbury sits in one of the most active hail corridors in the country. The 1995 Mayfest storm dropped softball sized hail on the city, and large hail returns most springs, March through June. Hail bruises shingles even when it is hard to see from the ground.
What is the biggest roofing risk in Granbury?
Hail and wind. Spring supercells bring large hail and occasional tornadoes, like the F3 that tore through downtown Granbury in 2000. Documenting roof condition after any major hail or wind event protects your position.
When is severe weather season in Granbury?
Spring, roughly March through June, is the peak for hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes. Granbury averages dozens of thunderstorm days a year, so post storm documentation is a good habit.
