Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Parker County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Hudson Oaks 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 Hudson Oaks
Local ground truth for Hudson Oaks properties
Hudson Oaks sits in Parker County in North Texas, home to roughly 2,741 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 Hudson Oaks are likely to be
When Hudson Oaks houses went up, per the Census, and so roughly when their original roofs were put on.
When the houses went up
Hudson Oaks has 920 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 2002. 47 percent were built before 2000 and 29 percent before 1990; 38 percent have been built since 2010. A mixed stock. Roughly 47 in 100 homes carry a roof that could be original to a pre-2000 build, while 38 in 100 were built since 2010 and are on a first roof. Roof age is the first thing an inspection establishes, because the two groups have different questions.

Permits are a Hudson Oaks 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 Parker 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 Hudson Oaks, 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
Hudson Oaks 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!
Owner Response
Thank you, Dominique, for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof inspection after the hailstorm in Godley, Texas. I appreciate your kind words and am glad I could provide a thorough inspection and clearly explain what I found.
I also really enjoyed meeting your puppy during the visit. That was definitely a highlight of my day. If you ever have questions about your roof or need help after another storm, I will be glad to assist.
The Roof Shepherd, David, did a great job on our roof repair. He was able to upgrade our shingles to a better class. Very polite and professional.
Owner Response
George, thank you for the kind review. I appreciate you trusting me with your roof replacement in Copperas Cove, Texas, and I’m glad we were able to help upgrade your shingles to a better class for your home. Clear communication, professional guidance, and making sure the homeowner understands the roofing options are always important to me. I appreciate the opportunity to help.
We just got into town after a long-distance move, and after looking at our new house we realized the builder paint was pretty bad. We wanted to get all the walls repainted fast before we moved in, and ended up getting connected with David. We’re super happy with everything — David and his crew were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative the whole time, and the work came out great. David even noticed some other builder issues and had the crew fix them while they were there. Turnaround was lightning fast, and we didn’t have to change our move-in schedule at all.
Owner Response
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. I know how stressful a long-distance move can be, especially when you’re trying to get settled and realize the home still needs work before move-in. I’m grateful you trusted us to help get the painting handled quickly, and I’m glad the crew were able to deliver quality work while keeping communication clear throughout the project. We also appreciate you noticing the extra details we addressed along the way. When we see issues that can reasonably be corrected while we’re already there, we try to do the right thing and help protect the home. Thank you again for trusting us, and we’d be honored to help with anything else you need in the future.
