Manor At A Glance
What homeowners in Manor should know
How Manor ranks for large hail and home age, and who sets permit rules here.
Manor, in Travis County, is about 19 miles and 26 minutes by road from our Round Rock base. Roofing permit rules are set locally, and Texas has no statewide roofing license, so we confirm the rules for your address before work starts.
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
Hail 1.75 inches or larger, golf ball size, was reported 31 times within ten miles of Manor from 2000 to 2026. That ranks 73rd of the 207 Texas cities on this site, and 15th of 71 in the region around Round Rock.
The Homes Here
The median home in Manor was built in 2014, and 6 percent of homes here were built before 1990. Of the other cities on this site, 97 percent have older homes than Manor.
Common Roofing Issues
Most of Manor’s homes are young. Census data put the median build year at 2014, with about 71 percent of homes built since 2010, so many roofs here are still the ones the builder installed.

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 November 1, 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.

Live NOAA record Since September 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.

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
Census figures on when Manor homes were built, which tells you roughly when their first roofs went on.
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.

Permits are a Manor question, not a Texas question. Texas cities use the International Residential Code (Local Government Code 214.212), but each city picks its own edition and amendments, and counties regulate far less, 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
Get the roof documented first, since a roof visit often turns up fascia, gutter and trim damage.
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.
After my family's experience with David and the rest of The Roof Shepherd crew, I don't see a reason to consider another roofing company. They explained to us and showed us, in clear and transparent detail, why we needed a new roof instead of a repair. They walked us through all of our options for materials and the differences in each type, all while easily fielding our questions. We never felt any pressure. Once we agreed on the best option for our family, the rest of the process went super smooth. They arrived to remove the old material and install the new exactly when they said they would. Since David had explained what would happen in our initial meeting, I knew what to expect, and what he said is exactly what happened. No surprises. They were fast, efficient, and the work was high quality. David checked in with us a couple of times to inform us about the progress and what they were doing, which we really appreciated. When they were finished, we went through photos and videos of what they uncovered during the removal of the old material, the installation process, and the finished product so we could see exactly what had happened. The roof looked great! We even had some good ole Texas thunderstorms roll through in the days after the install for a stress test, and everything held up perfectly. All in all, The Roof Shepherd made this such a stress-free and easy experience. We are so happy we made the right choice to work with them. If you need repairs or a new roof, these are the guys.
Owner Response
Bryant, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review. It means a lot. This Austin roof installation came together quickly, but the goal was still the same: explain the condition of the roof clearly, walk through the repair-versus-replacement decision, review the material options, and make sure your family knew what to expect before the work started. I'm especially glad the communication, timing, cleanup, and photo/video documentation helped make the process feel smooth and low-stress. A roof replacement is a major decision, and homeowners deserve to see what was found, what was installed, and why it mattered. We're grateful your family trusted The Roof Shepherd with your home. And those Texas thunderstorms right after the install were definitely a real-world stress test. I'm glad everything performed the way it should.
