Roofing Insight
Homes on high ground or open lots take more wind and hail than sheltered ones, so the record above is a floor for any one roof, not a ceiling.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds 101 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Kerrville since 1996, squarely on the I-35 hail corridor. The busiest single year in that record was 2016, with 18 reports inside the ring.
Exterior & Painting Note
Some older homes sit in a historic district with its own rules on exterior changes. Check with the city before painting or replacing anything visible from the street, and photograph the existing finishes first.
Common Roofing Issues
The common problems in Kerrville are the same as across Central Texas. Sun wears off granules. Hail dents vents and gutters. Pipe boots fail. Older attics vent poorly. The specific soil and humidity conditions in Kerr County add local nuance to each.

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Kerrville, 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.

Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Kerr County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Kerrville 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.

About Kerrville
Local ground truth for Kerrville properties
Kerrville sits in Kerr County in Central Texas. NOAA storm records log 42 hail events within ten miles since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 3″ on May 17, 2016.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Kerrville are likely to be
Census figures on when Kerrville homes were built, which tells you roughly when their first roofs went on.
When the houses went up
Kerrville has 11,403 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 1983. 74 percent were built before 2000 and 64 percent before 1990; 13 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.
| Year built | Homes | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Built 2020 or later | 148 | 1% |
| Built 2010 to 2019 | 1,325 | 12% |
| Built 2000 to 2009 | 1,506 | 13% |
| Built 1990 to 1999 | 1,170 | 10% |

Local Conditions
What is different about working on Kerrville homes
What Kerr County roofs face: the hail record, the largest stones by date, and why permits are local.
What roofs face in this market
Kerrville sits in Kerr County. Counting hail reports of every size, the NOAA Storm Events archive logs 90 hail reports within ten miles of Kerrville from 2000 to 2026, 31 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 3.0 inches. Counting reports of every size, 2016 was the busiest year in that record, with 18 reports. Activity concentrates in May and March. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 70 mph on June 1, 2005.
The largest hail recorded near Kerrville, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| March 23, 2025 | 2.75″ |
| May 17, 2016 | 3.0″ |
| March 19, 2006 | 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 Kerrville 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 Kerr 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 Kerrville, TX homeowners should know about exterior work
Get the roof documented first, since a roof visit often turns up fascia, gutter and trim damage.
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Kerrville homes lean on Hill Country materials, native limestone and stone-and-brick blends, often paired with standing-seam metal roofs and deep porch overhangs that shield walls from the intense Hill Country sun. Painted wood and trim under those overhangs weather slowly, while sun-facing elevations and exposed siding are where exterior coatings age 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
These are verified Google reviews from Texas homeowners we’ve served.
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.
Excellent work. I appreciate David and the crew making repairs needed on the roof and also taking the time to explain and walk me through everything.
