Highland Village At A Glance
What homeowners in Highland Village should know
Hail Alley
Highland Village sits in North Texas, which records the most hailstorms in Texas in a typical year, the state logged 529 hail events in 2024. Independent documentation after a storm protects your position before any contractor conversation. Highland Village is an affluent Denton County town northwest of Dallas, with high-value homes exposed to recurring North Texas hail.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds 349 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Highland Village since 1996, inside the North Texas hail alley. The busiest single year in that record was 2024, with 45 reports inside the ring.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Denton 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
Repeated large-hail exposure means bruised shingles, granule loss, and soft-metal damage to vents and flashing, conditions a documented inspection captures before the next storm makes them worse.

Thank you for the thoughtful review. It was a pleasure meeting with you in Georgetown, Texas, and helping you review the roof repair options for your home. I really appreciate you mentioning the communication, timing, and clear explanations. Even when a homeowner decides to go a different direction, my goal is still the same: show up on time, explain the roof concerns clearly, provide a straightforward repair quote, and help you make a confident decision. Thank you again for the kind words and recommendation.
I am a realtor and my clients needed a roof inspection and estimate quickly. The next day, David came, inspected, and provided an estimate for a replacement, after explaining to the owners the issues and the pros and cons of different roofing materials. David was then able to get the roof replaced in less than a week! We are so thankful for David and his team — they were an absolute pleasure to work with!
