Lampasas At A Glance
What homeowners in Lampasas should know
In Lampasas, 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 Lampasas’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
Lampasas sits within Lampasas 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. U.S. Census data puts Lampasas near 7,700 residents, about two-thirds owner-occupied, with a median home value near $200,000 and a median build year around 1969, so much of this county-seat housing stock is well into roof-replacement age.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds 57 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Lampasas since 1996, squarely on the I-35 hail corridor. The busiest single year in that record was 2018, with 9 reports inside the ring.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Lampasas 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
Lampasas recorded the largest hail in The Roof Shepherd’s service area during 2025, 4.50 inch softball-plus stones on May 1. Every home in the city should be considered for documentation.

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Lampasas, 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 | 50 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 15 |
| Largest stone recorded | 4.00 in · April 9, 2024 |
| Busiest year | 2018 · 9 events |
| Most common months | May and April |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 74 mph · April 20, 2006 |
| Radar hail days, 1 in or larger | 219 days · 2000-2026 · largest signature 4.00 in |
| Preliminary reports, last 12 months | none of 1 in or larger on file |
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Lampasas County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Lampasas 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.
Year by year
Hail in Lampasas, 2006 to 2025
Twenty seasons, one row each
One row per year, newest first. Each row counts the hail reports of one inch or larger within ten miles of Lampasas, from the National Weather Service archive. 41 reports from 2006 to 2025, 13 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 2018. If you owned your roof through any of these dates, the row is the reason to know what it took.

Lampasas County Storm Record
Documented storm exposure in Lampasas
Hail Frequency
NOAA storm records log 23 hail events within 10 miles of Lampasas since 2018, 11 of them inside the city’s immediate 6 mile ring. The largest verified stone measured 1.75 inches on April 3, 2018. Since 2018, hail here peaks in April and May.
Largest Recorded
Lampasas County’s recent benchmarks include the May 1, 2025 tornado near Kempner with near-golfball hail that damaged roofs and vehicles, a 2024 tornado-warned storm north of Lampasas, and the April 2024 hail that hit Lampasas, Kempner, and Lometa (NWS Fort Worth).
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
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, wind, tornado, and flood history for Lampasas County, the area Lampasas sits in. Roof condition changes with every storm season, which is why the homeowner should own the documentation.
April 9 softball size hail
NOAA verifies 4 inch hail at Lake Victor on April 9, 2024, a softball size stone.
June 11 baseball size hail
NOAA verifies 2.75 inch hail in Lampasas on June 11, 2009, a baseball size stone.
March 28 golf ball size hail
NOAA verifies 1.75 inch hail in Lampasas on March 28, 2000, a golf ball size stone.
March 12 hen egg size hail
NOAA verifies 2 inch hail in Lampasas on March 12, 1999, a hen egg size stone.
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 2 hail reports within 6 miles of Lampasas. The largest measured 1.75 inches on May 1, 2025, about 5.3 miles away. 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 Lampasas
Local ground truth for Lampasas properties
Lampasas sits in Lampasas County in Central Texas, home to roughly 7,936 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). NOAA storm records log 23 hail events within ten miles since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 4″ on April 9, 2024.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Lampasas are likely to be
When the houses went up
Lampasas has 3,268 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 1969. 84 percent were built before 2000 and 78 percent before 1990; 9 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.

What roofs face in this market

Counting hail reports of every size, the NOAA Storm Events archive logs 50 hail reports within ten miles of Lampasas from 2000 to 2026, 15 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 4.0 inches. Counting reports of every size, 2018 was the busiest year in that record, with 9 reports. Activity concentrates in May and April.

| June 11, 2009 | 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 Lampasas 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 Lampasas 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 Lampasas homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Lampasas’ limestone block commercial buildings and wood-frame homes require specialty preparation, standard suburban painting systems underperform on historic Hill Country construction.
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
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.
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.
Owner Response
J. S., thank you for taking the time to share this. I appreciate you trusting the crew and me with the tile roof repair in Horseshoe Bay, Texas. I’m glad we were able to make the needed roof repairs and walk you through what we found. Clear explanations and communication are a big part of how I try to handle every repair, especially on tile roofs where the details matter. Thank you again for allowing The Roof Shepherd to help with your home.
David inspected my roof and provided valuable information. I told him from the beginning that I just wanted the inspection done, and although he knew that I wouldn't likely buy a new roof he came out anyways. He did inform me of certain issues that I should keep an eye for. Once the next storm hits I know who I will call. Thanks for the inspection, advice and guidance.
Owner Response
Leo, thank you for trusting me with the commercial roof evaluation in Georgetown, Texas. My goal was to give you a clear understanding of the metal roof’s current condition without pressuring you into work that was not immediately necessary.
We reviewed three practical options: replacing and resecuring the existing fasteners, applying a commercial roof coating system, or installing a new standing-seam metal roof. Each option has different advantages, limitations, maintenance requirements and long-term costs, so it was important to explain the pros and cons clearly.
I appreciate the opportunity to provide the inspection and guidance. When the property needs another evaluation or you are ready to move forward, The Roof Shepherd will be here to help.
