Kerrville At A Glance
What homeowners in Kerrville should know
The questions we get most
Kerrville and Kerr County sit on the western edge of the San Antonio metro, part of the broader Austin to San Antonio corridor that regional planners expect to grow into a single Central Texas megaregion, much like Dallas and Fort Worth. The Roof Shepherd treats this whole corridor as one region and documents and serves it end to end.
In Kerrville, 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 Kerrville’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.
Roofing Insight
Kerrville’s Hill Country terrain produces localized storm cells from both the west and southwest, hilltop properties in and experience amplified wind and hail exposure.
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
Kerrville’s historic Main Street district requires Historic Review Commission approval for exterior modifications, document existing finishes before any painting project on contributing structures.
Common Roofing Issues
Common concerns in Kerrville mirror the broader Central Texas market: UV-driven granule loss, soft-metal hail impacts on vents and gutters, pipe boot failures, and ventilation issues in aging attic systems. 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.
| Hail events on record | 90 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 31 |
| Largest stone recorded | 3.00 in · May 17, 2016 |
| Busiest year | 2016 · 18 events |
| Most common months | May and March |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 70 mph · June 1, 2005 |

What is different about working on Kerrville homes
What roofs face in this market
Kerrville sits in Kerr County. The NOAA Storm Events archive logs 90 hail events within ten miles of Kerrville since 2000, 31 of them at a size generally associated with roof damage.

The largest hail recorded near Kerrville, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| April 25, 2008 | 1.75″ |
| June 18, 2023 | 2.0″ |
| May 26, 1999 | 2.5″ |
| May 8, 2019 | 2.0″ |
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.

These are verified Google reviews from homeowners we’ve served across Central Texas.
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.

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.

What Kerrville, TX homeowners should know about exterior work
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
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.
