Granbury At A Glance
What homeowners in Granbury should know
In Granbury, 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 Granbury’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.
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 878 major hail events in 2024 alone. 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.

Largest Recorded
The 1995 Mayfest storm drove roughly 4-inch hail across downtown Granbury and was the first single thunderstorm to exceed $1 billion in damage, a benchmark for what this area’s storms can do.
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.
Neighborhood Exposure
Areas across Granbury, the Stockyards, TCU/University, Arlington Heights, Fairmount, Near Southside, Benbrook, and Westover Hills, all sit within this exposure. Hail varies by lot elevation and tree cover, so block-level documentation beats area-wide estimates.
How these figures are corroborated
A verified record of the hail and wind events that shaped Granbury roofs. Condition changes over time, which is why the homeowner should own the documentation.

Live NOAA record Since August 2024, NOAA has logged 5 hail reports within 10 miles of Granbury, 4 of them inside 6 miles. The largest measured 1.25 inches on May 16, 2025, about 3.2 miles away. These are NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary reports covering August 15, 2024 to August 14, 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.

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Granbury, 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 | 135 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 45 |
| Largest stone recorded | 4.50 in · May 9, 2024 |
| Busiest year | 2021 · 20 events |
| Most common months | May and April |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 82 mph · April 23, 2008 |

What is different about working on Granbury homes
What roofs face in this market
Granbury sits in Hood County, population 10,958. The NOAA Storm Events archive logs 135 hail events within ten miles of Granbury since 2000, 45 of them at a size generally associated with roof damage. The largest stone on record measured 4.5 inches. 2021 was the busiest year, with 20 recorded events. Activity concentrates in May and April. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 82 mph on April 23, 2008.
The largest hail recorded near Granbury, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| April 21, 2018 | 2.0″ |
| June 12, 2023 | 2.75″ |
| May 1, 2003 | 1.75″ |
| May 3, 2000 | 3.0″ |
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 Granbury 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 Hood 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.

What Texas homeowners say
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.
David inspected my roof and provided valuable information. I told him from the beginning that I just wanted the inspection done, and although he knew that I wouldn't likely buy a new roof he came out anyways. He did inform me of certain issues that I should keep an eye for. Once the next storm hits I know who I will call. Thanks for the inspection, advice and guidance.
Owner Response
Leo, thank you for trusting me with the commercial roof evaluation in Georgetown, Texas. My goal was to give you a clear understanding of the metal roof’s current condition without pressuring you into work that was not immediately necessary.
We reviewed three practical options: replacing and resecuring the existing fasteners, applying a commercial roof coating system, or installing a new standing-seam metal roof. Each option has different advantages, limitations, maintenance requirements and long-term costs, so it was important to explain the pros and cons clearly.
I appreciate the opportunity to provide the inspection and guidance. When the property needs another evaluation or you are ready to move forward, The Roof Shepherd will be here to help.
The Roof Shepherd is amazing. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Getting a new roof can be stressful, but he made the process super easy. He answered all our questions and concerns, worked with our insurance company, and gave us a good price for a new Class 4 roof. The workers were very courteous and professional — they went the extra mile, made sure everything was okay in the attic, worked around the gutters, installed new vents, and later repaired our shed connected to the house. They got everything done in one day, hours ahead of schedule. I highly recommend The Roof Shepherd to anyone that needs a new roof!
Owner Response
Thank you so much for this review. It really means a lot. Getting a new roof can be stressful, so I’m grateful we were able to make the process easier, walk through the insurance side, answer your questions, and get your Class 4 impact-rated roof installed the right way. I also appreciate you mentioning the crew — they worked hard, stayed professional, handled the attic and ventilation details, worked carefully around the gutters, and helped make sure the shed repair was taken care of afterward. Thank you again for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your home and for recommending us. It was a privilege to serve your family.

What Granbury, TX homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Granbury, the Hood County seat, is a historic lake town on Lake Granbury with a restored Victorian courthouse square. Its older homes and lakefront properties make exterior wood care, lake-facing wear, and roof-edge condition the practical items to check.
Sequence Matters
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 before a single brush stroke is applied.

Granbury FAQs
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. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 4.5 inches on May 9, 2024. 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.

How much does roof replacement cost in Granbury?
