Highland Village At A Glance
What homeowners in Highland Village should know
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, permitting and installation are handled through The Roof Shepherd and its vetted partner network.
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. 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.

What the storm record means locally
After a major hail event, 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
Neighborhoods across Highland Village (Denton County) vary by lot elevation, tree cover, and roof age, so block-level documentation beats area-wide estimates. After any significant storm, a documented record of visible conditions protects your position.

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.
| Hail events on record | 301 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 83 |
| Largest stone recorded | 4.50 in · May 6, 2001 |
| Busiest year | 2024 · 45 events |
| Most common months | April and May |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 83 mph · May 28, 2024 |

What roofs face in this market

The largest hail recorded near Highland Village, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| April 19, 2011 | 1.75″ |
| February 22, 2022 | 1.5″ |
| May 24, 2020 | 2.0″ |
| November 24, 2025 | 1.5″ |
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.

What Texas homeowners say
It has been a year since my roof was replaced by the Roof Shepherd crew, and so far no complaints, no leaks, and my roof looks amazing! Working with David since our first text message was so easy communicating my needs and expectations — I could not be happier.
Owner Response
Ofranel, thank you for sharing this. It means a lot hearing that a year later the roof still looks great, there are no leaks, and everything is holding up the way it should. I also appreciate you mentioning the communication and process. My goal is always to make the project clear, easy, and handled with care from start to finish. Thank you again for trusting me and The Roof Shepherd with your home.
David and his team were the best contractors I have ever hired. His crew did an amazing job efficiently. Coordinating with him was very straightforward. He was extremely professional and respectful of my time. The pricing was competitive and he provided paperwork that awarded me a deduction from my insurance policy. I was extremely grateful to my friends who referred me to him.
Owner Response
Jaclyn, thank you for the kind words. I'm glad our crew completed your Austin roof installation efficiently and that coordinating the project was straightforward from start to finish. Clear communication and thorough project documentation are the standard on every job, and I'm glad they met your expectations. We're grateful to the friends who referred you, and grateful you chose The Roof Shepherd for your home.
Great experience with David and his roofing company. They found the source of the leak, and got it fixed within a couple of hours. Professional, honest, and easy to work with. I'd definitely recommend them.
Owner Response
Tufan, thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I’m glad we were able to quickly identify the source of the roof leak and complete the repair within a couple of hours.
Roof leaks can be deceptive, so finding the actual entry point and correcting the underlying issue is always the priority rather than simply treating the visible symptom. I appreciate you trusting us with your roof repair in Round Rock, Texas, and especially appreciate your comments about our professionalism, honesty and communication.
Thank you again for the recommendation and for giving The Roof Shepherd the opportunity to help protect your home.

What Highland Village, TX homeowners should know about exterior work
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
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.

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?
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 Highland Village?

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.

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.
