The short version
- From its Round Rock base, The Roof Shepherd works in Highland Village and across Denton County in North Texas.
- From 2000 to 2026 the NOAA record shows 301 hail events inside a ten mile ring around Highland Village, topped by a 4.50 inch stone on May 6, 2001.
- Before anyone talks repair or a new roof, the roof's condition is written down, so the choice rests on evidence.
- Permit rules here are local, not statewide. Inside city limits the city sets them; outside them the county does, and that can mean no permit at all.
- Should you go ahead, one company runs the job end to end: contract, materials, crew, walkthrough and written warranty.
To book a documented inspection in Highland Village, call or text 512-575-5052 or send the Get Help form.

Highland Village At A Glance
What homeowners in Highland Village should know
Permits, hail and the first documented visit: what a homeowner in Denton County should know first.
In Highland Village, 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 Highland Village’s building department before work begins. The Roof Shepherd documents your roof’s condition and explains your options. If you decide to move forward, The Roof Shepherd manages the whole project, from the contract and materials to the crew, the final walkthrough, and your written workmanship warranty.
Hail Alley
Highland Village sits in North Texas, which records the most hailstorms in Texas in a typical year, the state logged 878 major hail events in 2024. A written record after a storm protects your position before any repair decision. 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 have an HOA with rules 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 leaves bruised shingles, lost granules and dented vents and flashing. A documented inspection records those before the next storm makes them worse.

What has actually fallen on Highland Village
The archive counts 301 hail events near Highland Village; the biggest stone was 4.50 inches, on May 6, 2001.
Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Highland Village, 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. To see the days radar recorded hail near your own address, use our hail history lookup.

| Largest stone recorded | 4.50 in · May 6, 2001 |
| Busiest year | 2024 · 45 events |

Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Denton County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Highland Village centroid. Counts are reported events, so they undercount: a stone that fell where nobody reported it is not in the record.
Checked September 7, 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.

After a major hail event, out-of-state contractors arrive quickly. A written record of visible conditions before any repair decision protects your position, whether you file a claim or not. The Roof Shepherd documents first. Decisions come after.

The largest measured 1.5 inches on November 23, 2025, about 9.2 miles away. Damaging wind has been reported 3 times in the same period, most recently 65 mph on June 8, 2025. These are NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary reports covering September 9, 2024 to October 8, 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.
About Highland Village
Local ground truth for Highland Village properties
Highland Village sits in Denton County in North Texas, home to roughly 16,137 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). NOAA storm records log 143 hail events within ten miles since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 4.5″ on May 6, 2001.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Highland Village are likely to be
When Highland Village houses went up, per the Census, and so roughly when their original roofs were put on.
When the houses went up
Highland Village has 5,545 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 1993. 69 percent were built before 2000 and 41 percent before 1990; 10 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.

What is different about working on Highland Village homes
Roofing in Denton County: the hail count, the biggest stones by date, and why permits are a local matter.
What roofs face in this market
Highland Village sits in Denton County, population 16,137. Counting hail reports of every size, the NOAA Storm Events archive logs 301 hail reports within ten miles of Highland Village from 2000 to 2026, 83 of them at or above the 1.75 inch severe threshold, the size generally associated with roof damage. The largest stone in that record measured 4.5 inches. Counting reports of every size, 2024 was the busiest year in that record, with 45 reports. Activity concentrates in April and May. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 83 mph on May 28, 2024.
The largest hail recorded near Highland Village, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| June 11, 2023 | 4.25″ |
| March 26, 2017 | 4.25″ |
| May 6, 2001 | 4.5″ |
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 Highland Village 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 Denton 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 Highland Village, 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
Highland Village’s established Lake Lewisville neighborhoods are mostly brick homes built from the late 1980s into the early 2000s, set among mature trees on shaded and lakefront lots. Here shade and lake moisture drive mildew, fascia wear, and trim rot more than raw sun, so exterior paint and wood condition are worth checking on the north and lake-facing elevations first.
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.

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.

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.
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!

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.

Common questions in Highland Village

Yes. The Roof Shepherd provides roof inspection, storm documentation, and homeowner guidance across Highland Village and Denton County. Beyond inspection and documentation, The Roof Shepherd provides full roofing, from first look through installation, on one consistent documentation standard, with our crew doing the work from start to finish.
How quickly can I get a roof inspection in Highland Village?
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 Highland Village in a hail-prone area?
NOAA records log 143 hail events within 10 miles of Highland Village since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 4.5 inches on May 6, 2001. Highland Village 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 holds up best in Highland Village?
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.
Does The Roof Shepherd offer painting or siding in Highland Village?
Yes. Painting (epoxy and concrete coatings included), siding, drywall, gutters and wood work are available in Highland Village, the same as every service we list, anywhere in Texas. The Roof Shepherd team does the work from start to finish. We document exterior condition during the roof visit so the work starts from an accurate record.
How do I get started in Highland Village?
Use the Get Help form with your Highland Village address and a description of your concern. Submissions come straight to us and a person reads every one.
Does Highland Village get a lot of hail?
Yes. Highland Village sits in the Dallas and Fort Worth hail corridor, one of the most active in the country, with the heaviest risk from March through June. Hail bruises shingles and shortens roof life, often without damage you can see from the ground.
What is the biggest roofing risk in Highland Village?
Hail and wind. North Texas spring storms bring large hail and, less often, tornadoes. Documenting roof condition after any major hail or wind event protects your position.
When is severe weather season in Highland Village?
Spring, roughly March through June, is the peak for hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes, when Gulf moisture meets dry plains air. A second smaller window can occur in the fall.

The Roof Shepherd serves Highland Village with documented inspections, photo condition records, and education-first guidance, based in Round Rock, Texas. Trust is verifiable: BBB accreditation, public reviews, and a documentation record you keep. Call or text 512-575-5052.
How much does roof replacement cost in Highland Village?
Roof replacement cost in Highland Village depends on roof size, pitch, material choice, decking condition, and ventilation work. Rather than quoting blind, The Roof Shepherd documents your roof first so any price you evaluate is grounded in your roof’s actual condition.
