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

Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Marble Falls are likely to be
Census figures on when Marble Falls homes were built, which tells you roughly when their first roofs went on.
When the houses went up
Marble Falls has 3,231 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 2002. 42 percent were built before 2000 and 32 percent before 1990; 24 percent have been built since 2010. A mixed stock. Roughly 42 in 100 homes carry a roof that could be original to a pre-2000 build, while 24 in 100 were built since 2010 and are on a first roof. Roof age is the first thing an inspection establishes, because the two groups have different questions.

Exterior & Painting
What Marble Falls 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
Marble Falls’ limestone and granite-faced homes need breathable, vapor-permeable masonry coatings. Film-forming exterior paints over natural stone trap moisture and cause face spalling.
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.

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.
It has been a year since my roof was replaced by the Roof Shepherd crew, and so far no complaints, no leaks, and my roof looks amazing! Working with David since our first text message was so easy communicating my needs and expectations — I could not be happier.
Owner Response
Ofranel, thank you for sharing this. It means a lot hearing that a year later the roof still looks great, there are no leaks, and everything is holding up the way it should. I also appreciate you mentioning the communication and process. My goal is always to make the project clear, easy, and handled with care from start to finish. Thank you again for trusting me and The Roof Shepherd with your home.

Thank you for the thoughtful review. It was a pleasure meeting with you in Georgetown, Texas, and helping you review the roof repair options for your home. I really appreciate you mentioning the communication, timing, and clear explanations. Even when a homeowner decides to go a different direction, my goal is still the same: show up on time, explain the roof concerns clearly, provide a straightforward repair quote, and help you make a confident decision.
