Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Hunt County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Greenville 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 Greenville
Local ground truth for Greenville properties
Greenville sits in Hunt County in North Texas, home to roughly 34,355 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 Greenville are likely to be
When Greenville houses went up, per the Census, and so roughly when their original roofs were put on.
When the houses went up
Greenville has 12,410 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 1978. 78 percent were built before 2000 and 70 percent before 1990; 12 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.
| Year built | Homes | Share |

| Built 2010 to 2019 | 1,119 | 9% |

Permits are a Greenville 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 Hunt 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 Greenville, 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
Greenville 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!

The Roof Shepherd LLC, came to my rescued in time when I was struggling to find help with my damaged roof. My home insurance at the time refused to provide help or pay for the damage to my roof at the time unless I pay the substantial amount they requested up front of ($28,500). I felt so lost, confused and helpless worrying on how to pay this and keep my home safe and prevent the roof from worse leaks due to bad weather and heavy rain our area was receiving at the time. Three months in praying asking God for help. On May 10th 2026, Saturday morning my doorbell rang. When I open the door I was met with a brighter smile of a man whom introduced himself as David Rodriguez and he wanted to speak with me about my roof. And that's when this beautiful blessed "Roof Shepherd" enter my heart ❤️, and my home. I praise God for His blessings and prayers answered. David the "Roof Shepherd" stuck with me and promise me that he will help me with my problems. He pray with, walked me through every difficult steps I needed to go through. From May 10th through November 7th we finally received the financial help I needed. I had also asked David to help me search for a new home insurance and yes, he came through that for me as well. God answered my prayers in time when I needed help and I could not thank Him enough. I thank you David for your service, you've never given up on me when I was struggling along the way. It was a long depressed and difficult 6 months but you were still there for me till end. I'm very proud to say, I now have a beautiful strong Roof on my house, and a reasonable well managed Home/Auto insurance. Yes I will and do recommend "The Roof Shepherd" 💯 to anyone and everyone who are struggling and are experiencing the same problem and difficult I've gone through with my Roof and home insurance.

Owner Response
Noela, thank you for taking the time to write such a heartfelt review. It truly means a lot. This was not a quick or simple situation, and I know it took months of patience, coordination, decision-making, and trust to finally get your roof completed. I'm grateful you allowed me to walk with you through the process, explain the roofing system, discuss your options clearly, and help you make informed decisions for your home. I'm especially thankful that your Copperas Cove, Texas roof is now completed and that your home is better protected moving forward. You and your family were patient through a difficult season, and I'm glad The Roof Shepherd LLC could be part of helping bring this project to the finish line. Thank you again for trusting me, for your prayers, and for your kind words. God bless you and your family.
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.
