Jarrell At A Glance
What homeowners in Jarrell should know
In Jarrell, 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 Jarrell’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.
Growth & Construction
Jarrell sits within Williamson County, an area that has seen ongoing residential growth across Central Texas. New construction and resale inspections both benefit from a documented condition review before any roofing decision. Jarrell is a Williamson County town on Interstate 35 north of Georgetown, with a fast-growing housing stock in the Central Texas hail corridor.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds 66 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Jarrell since 1996, squarely on the I-35 hail corridor. The busiest single year in that record was 2025, with 9 reports inside the ring.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Williamson County neighborhoods have an HOA with rules on shingle color, material type and anything visible from the street. Confirm requirements with your HOA before selecting materials.
Common Roofing Issues
Jarrell’s history with extreme wind events underscores the importance of impact-resistant roofing, post-storm documentation is valuable regardless of whether damage is immediately visible.

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Jarrell, 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 | 56 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 14 |
| Largest stone recorded | 2.75 in · March 26, 2000 |
| Busiest year | 2025 · 9 events |
| Most common months | April and March |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 70 mph · April 20, 2006 |
| Radar hail days, 1 in or larger | 149 days · 2000-2026 · largest signature 4.00 in |
| Preliminary reports, last 12 months | 2 reports of 1 in or larger · largest 1.00 in on May 10, 2026 |
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Williamson County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Jarrell 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.

One row per year, newest first. Each row counts the hail reports of one inch or larger within ten miles of Jarrell, from the National Weather Service archive. 37 reports from 2006 to 2025, 9 of them at or above the 1.75-inch severe threshold. Counting only stones of one inch or larger, the busiest year in this table was 2025. If you owned your roof through any of these dates, the row is the reason to know what it took.

Central Texas Storm Record
Documented storm exposure in Jarrell
Hail Frequency
NOAA storm records log 25 hail events within 10 miles of Jarrell since 2018, 9 of them inside the city’s immediate 6 mile ring. The largest verified stone measured 2 inches on June 9, 2019 at Jarrell Sybert Airport. Since 2018, hail here peaks in March and May.
Largest Recorded
The September 24, 2023 hailstorm caused an NWS-estimated $600 million across Travis and Williamson counties; Georgetown saw verified 2.5 inch hail on April 22, 2025, a benchmark for what Central Texas storms can do.
What the storm record means locally
After major hail events, 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
Active neighborhoods in Jarrell: Sonterra. Hail exposure changes with lot height, tree cover and open ground nearby. A record of your block beats an estimate for the whole area.
How these figures are corroborated
Hail data sourced from NOAA Storm Prediction Center (SPC) filtered reports. Reports reflect spotter-confirmed events of 1″ or larger within 10 miles of city center. Not a formal risk assessment.
Verified Storm Record
Verified hail and wind history that defines Central Texas and the Hill Country, the region Jarrell sits in. Roof condition changes with every storm season, which is why the homeowner should own the documentation.

Where these figures come from
Figures drawn from public NOAA, National Weather Service, U.S. Census, and Texas Department of Insurance records and contemporaneous reporting. Not a formal risk assessment.
Live NOAA record Since August 2024, NOAA has logged 8 hail reports within 10 miles of Jarrell, 6 of them inside 6 miles. The largest measured 1.25 inches on March 23, 2025, about 5.1 miles away. Damaging wind has been reported 2 times in the same period, most recently 70 mph on May 19, 2026. These are NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary reports covering August 13, 2024 to September 11, 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 Jarrell
Local ground truth for Jarrell properties
Jarrell sits in Williamson County in Central Texas, home to roughly 5,151 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). NOAA storm records log 25 hail events within ten miles since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 2.75″ on March 26, 2000.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Jarrell are likely to be
When the houses went up
Jarrell has 954 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 2018. 25 percent were built before 2000 and 16 percent before 1990; 70 percent have been built since 2010. This is young housing. Most roofs here are first roofs, inside their rated life, and the question for them is not age but what the hail seasons above have done to a roof that has never been replaced.

What is different about working on Jarrell homes
What roofs face in this market
Jarrell sits in Williamson County, population 5,151. Counting hail reports of every size, the NOAA Storm Events archive logs 56 hail reports within ten miles of Jarrell from 2000 to 2026, 14 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 2.75 inches. Counting reports of every size, 2025 was the busiest year in that record, with 9 reports. Activity concentrates in April and March. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 70 mph on April 20, 2006.
The largest hail recorded near Jarrell, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| May 2, 2007 | 2.75″ |
| April 5, 2005 | 2.75″ |
| November 23, 2004 | 2.5″ |
| March 26, 2000 | 2.75″ |
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 Jarrell 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 Williamson 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.

Jarrell Home Guide
What Jarrell homeowners should know about exterior work
City rules, utility rules and local records that change how siding, paint, fences, solar and outside work get done here. Checked against the sources on each card; the source’s current version governs if it changes.
Jarrell is on the 2018 books
Jarrell adopted the 2018 International Residential Code and the 2018 International Building Code together, by Ordinance 2022-0322-01 on March 22, 2022. That is the same vintage Taylor is working from and six years behind Hutto, which is on the 2024 editions. For a town growing as fast as Jarrell that gap matters, because a builder moving between these towns is moving between code cycles, and the detail that satisfied the last inspector is not automatically the detail this one is reading from.
Sources: Jarrell Code of Ordinances, Residential Code (division as read 2026-09-15); Jarrell Code of Ordinances, Building Code (division as read 2026-09-15).
What Jarrell changed, and what it left alone
The adopting ordinance modifies sixteen sections of the residential code. They cover climatic design criteria, laundry ventilation, foundations, sprinkler systems, wall construction, heating and air conditioning installation, fireplaces, gas piping, plumbing testing, sewer connections, standpipes, backflow protection and fixture venting. What is not on that list is the permit exemption section. Under the code as adopted, Section R105.2 lists the work exempt from a permit, ten categories, and roofing is not among them. Jarrell does not publish a separate homeowner exemption list to weigh against that, so ask the city about your address rather than assuming either way.
Sources: Jarrell Code of Ordinances, Residential Code (division as read 2026-09-15).
Skipping a permit here is written up as an offense per day
Jarrell’s building code carries its own penalty clause, and it is worth reading before anyone offers to save you the permit fee. A violation is a misdemeanor carrying a fine between one dollar and two thousand dollars, and each day a violation continues counts as a separate offense. That last part is the one people miss. The exposure is not a single fine, it grows for as long as the condition sits there, and it attaches to the property owner, not to the crew that drove away.
Sources: Jarrell Code of Ordinances, Building Code (division as read 2026-09-15).
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.

The Roof Shepherd did an amazing job — the company and, more importantly, the crew were fast and reliable. They had our roof and vents done in a timely manner after the recent storms. We upgraded after all the hail and high winds we’ve had over the last few years, and to our surprise it brought a discount on our insurance as well. The house looks great. It was the easiest choice on home maintenance we have ever made. Hands down, I would choose them again and would recommend them to anyone.
Owner Response
Valerie, thank you so much for the kind review and for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof and ventilation work. I’m glad we were able to help after the recent storms and get everything handled in a timely way. Upgrading to an impact-rated roofing system can make a real difference, especially after years of hail and high winds, and it’s great to hear the insurance discount was a helpful surprise as well. I also appreciate you recognizing the crew — fast, reliable, and respectful work matters, and I’m grateful they represented the company well on your home. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve your family.
If you’re looking for a roof replacement, look no further than the Roof Shepherd himself, David. A few months ago, an exterminator discovered a hole in our roof while checking for squirrels. David and his crew went out of their way and placed a solid, temporary patch over the hole. David and his crew did this at 11:30 at night, hours before severe weather hit the area. David did this right at the beginning of the process which most roofers would never bother to do. David and the crew did an excellent job, along with the full replacement of our gutters!!! The roof looks great and we are extremely happy with the result. David stayed in constant contact throughout the process and explained how to smoothly get things done with the insurance company, which we all know can be a pain. David’s knowledge in roofing is second to none, so if you are close to replacement, or have questions about the process, trust me, call the Roof Shepherd!!!
Owner Response
Lonnie, thank you for the incredible review and for trusting The Roof Shepherd team with your home in Cedar Park. That late-night emergency response was definitely one of those real roofing moments, but the goal was simple: protect the home before the weather moved in and keep a roof opening from turning into interior damage. I’m grateful we were able to help at the very beginning of the process, then follow it through with the full re-roof and gutter replacement. I also appreciate you mentioning the communication side of the job. Roofing and insurance-related work can be stressful, so my goal is always to keep homeowners informed, prepared, and protected from start to finish. Thank you again for the trust, the kind words, and the opportunity to take care of your home.
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!
Owner Response

Timing matters in real estate, so I’m glad we were able to inspect the roof quickly, explain the issues clearly, walk through the pros and cons of different roofing materials, and help get the roof replacement completed without unnecessary delays. It was a pleasure working with you and your clients. Thank you again for trusting The Roof Shepherd.
