Manor At A Glance
What homeowners in Manor should know
In Manor, 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 Manor’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
Manor sits within Travis 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. Manor is a fast-growing Travis County town east of Austin, with rapidly expanding subdivisions in the Central Texas hail corridor.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds 100 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Manor since 1996, squarely on the I-35 hail corridor. The busiest single year in that record was 2023, with 25 reports inside the ring.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Travis 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
Manor’s ShadowGlen and Wildhorse Creek subdivisions were built during 2008 to 2016 supply chain disruptions, some homes in these areas received roofing materials below original specification.

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Manor, 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 | 99 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 31 |
| Largest stone recorded | 3.00 in · September 24, 2023 |
| Busiest year | 2023 · 25 events |
| Most common months | March and April |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 70 mph · May 14, 2008 |
| Radar hail days, 1 in or larger | 135 days · 2000-2026 · largest signature 4.00 in |
| Preliminary reports, last 12 months | 1 report of 1 in or larger · largest 1.00 in on May 9, 2026 |
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Travis County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Manor 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 Manor, 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 Manor, from the National Weather Service archive. 78 reports from 2006 to 2025, 30 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 2023. 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 Manor
Hail Frequency
NOAA storm records log 52 hail events within 10 miles of Manor since 2018, 7 of them inside the city’s immediate 6 mile ring. The largest verified stone measured 3 inches on September 24, 2023 at Pflugerville. Since 2018, hail here peaks in September and April.

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 Manor: ShadowGlen, Whisper Valley, Wildhorse Creek, Presidential Meadows. 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 Manor sits in. Roof condition changes with every storm season, which is why the homeowner should own the documentation.
April 9 hen egg size hail
NOAA verifies 2 inch hail at North Oaks on April 9, 2024, a hen egg size stone.
May 28 sub severe hail
NOAA verifies 0.75 inch hail in Manor on May 28, 2017, a sub severe 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 3 hail reports within 10 miles of Manor, 1 of them inside 6 miles. The largest measured 1 inch on May 9, 2026, about 4.5 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 Manor
Local ground truth for Manor properties
Manor sits in Travis County in Central Texas, home to roughly 21,500 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). NOAA storm records log 52 hail events within ten miles since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 3″ on September 24, 2023.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Manor are likely to be
When the houses went up
Manor has 5,974 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 2014. 7 percent were built before 2000 and 6 percent before 1990; 71 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 roofs face in this market
Manor sits in Travis County, population 21,500. Counting hail reports of every size, the NOAA Storm Events archive logs 99 hail reports within ten miles of Manor 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, 2023 was the busiest year in that record, with 25 reports. Activity concentrates in March and April. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 70 mph on May 14, 2008.
The largest hail recorded near Manor, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| September 24, 2023 | 3.0″ |
| April 15, 2021 | 2.5″ |
| May 14, 2008 | 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 Manor 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 Travis 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 Manor homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Manor’s eco-focused Whisper Valley community specifies low-VOC exterior paint systems, verify manufacturer requirements before coating to maintain builder warranties.
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
David did an amazing job working with us to get our roof repaired during the sale of our home. He was very responsive to communication, knowledgeable, kept to his schedules, and was very easy to work with. If we were keeping the home, I definitely would have hired him for a full roof replacement when the time came. Would definitely recommend using his services.
Owner Response
Thank you so much for the kind review. I really appreciate the opportunity to help with the roof repair during the sale of your home. I know timing, communication, and documentation matter in that situation, so I’m glad I was able to help make the process easier. Your recommendation means a lot, and I wish you all the best with your next chapter.
David did an excellent job replacing our roof and gutters. I was very impressed with how clean they left the yard. They used good quality underlayment, unlike the previous roofer. Great communication. Our insurance adjuster knew who he was and it helped for a very smooth claim process. Highly recommend!
Owner Response
Dr. Liboiron, thank you for the thoughtful review. It was a privilege to help with your roof replacement and gutter installation in Pflugerville, Texas. I’m glad the communication, cleanup, underlayment selection, and overall installation process stood out to you. We try to treat every roofing project with clear documentation, quality materials, and a clean jobsite from start to finish. I also appreciate you mentioning how smooth the process felt. That kind of trust matters, especially when a homeowner is navigating a roof replacement and coordinating details along the way. Thank you again for allowing me to serve your family.
When we needed our roof changed, David of The Roof Shepherd in Austin, Texas was recommended to us. He took care in making our home look great. David is easy going and very friendly. The whole process of getting the roof done was made easy, thanks to him: from giving us time to choose what we really wanted, to coordinating the insurance process and recommending a company for rain gutters — which we are very pleased with. He even saw to it that our porch posts were repaired, sparing us a search. Everything was beautifully done and in a timely manner. Love the look of our new roof!
Owner Response
Claudette, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It truly means a lot. It was a privilege to help with your roof replacement in Austin, Texas, and I’m glad the process felt easy and well-coordinated. Choosing a new roof is a big decision, so I’m glad you had the time and space to choose what you really wanted. I’m also glad we were able to help with the gutter recommendation and make sure the porch post repairs were addressed instead of leaving you to track that down on your own. Your home looks great, and I’m grateful you trusted me to help guide the project from start to finish.
