Marble Falls At A Glance
What homeowners in Marble Falls should know
In Marble Falls, 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 Marble Falls’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
Marble Falls sits within Burnet 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 Marble Falls near 7,800 residents and growing fast, with a high share of lake-area rentals and second homes and a median home value in the mid-$300,000s, so roof condition varies widely across the housing stock.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds 71 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Marble Falls since 1996, squarely on the I-35 hail corridor. The busiest single year in that record was 2024, with 12 reports inside the ring.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Burnet 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
Lake-adjacent neighborhoods in Marble Falls face combined humidity and UV stress, homes within a half mile of the lake should be documented for roofing and exterior conditions annually.

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Marble Falls, 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 | 64 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 21 |
| Largest stone recorded | 2.75 in · April 2, 2013 |
| Busiest year | 2024 · 12 events |
| Most common months | April and March |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 70 mph · November 21, 2004 |
| Radar hail days, 1 in or larger | 179 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 · 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 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.

Hail in Marble Falls, 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 Marble Falls, from the National Weather Service archive. 47 reports from 2006 to 2025, 17 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 2024. If you owned your roof through any of these dates, the row is the reason to know what it took.

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 Burnet County and the Highland Lakes, the area Marble Falls sits in. Roof condition changes with every storm season, which is why the homeowner should own the documentation.

About Marble Falls
Local ground truth for Marble Falls properties
Marble Falls sits in Burnet County in Central Texas, home to roughly 9,413 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). NOAA storm records log 27 hail events within ten miles since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 2.75″ on April 2, 2013.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Marble Falls are likely to be
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.

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 Marble Falls 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 Burnet 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 Marble Falls homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Marble Falls’ limestone and granite-faced homes require 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!

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.
