Pearland At A Glance
What homeowners in Pearland should know
In Pearland, 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 Pearland’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.
Wind & Hurricane Country
Pearland’s roofing risk is wind, hurricane, and derecho more than hail. Documentation after any major wind event protects your position before any contractor conversation. Pearland is a fast-growing Brazoria County city south of Houston, with expanding subdivisions exposed to hurricanes and tropical flooding.
Wind & Storm Exposure
The strongest verified gust in Pearland in NOAA’s record measured 70 mph on January 25, 2012. 73 thunderstorm wind reports sit within 10 miles of Pearland since 1996.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Brazoria County neighborhoods have an HOA with rules on shingle color and material. In hurricane country, wind-rated installation matters as much as the product. Confirm HOA rules before selecting materials.
Common Roofing Issues
Wind lifts and creases shingles, moves flashing, exposes decking and lets water in. A documented inspection records those before the next storm makes them worse.

Weather history & local facts
Hail and wind on record here
Pearland’s verified NOAA record since 2018 includes 1 inch hail at Manvel on May 26, 2018, 1 inch hail at Iowa Colony on May 5, 2025, and 0.88 inch hail at Pearland Airport on May 6, 2022. 37 thunderstorm wind events and 3 tornado reports sit inside the same 10 mile window. Peak hail months here: May and March. Across Brazoria County as a whole, NOAA logged 16 hail events from 2016 through 2025, with hail to 1.75 inches, plus 48 damaging thunderstorm wind events and 14 tornado reports.
Worth Knowing
Most storm damage to a roof isn’t visible from the ground. A documented inspection captures bruising, lifted shingles, and flashing issues before they turn into leaks.
Local Note
Pearland sits in Brazoria County, within the Houston and Gulf Coast region. Roofing guidance and storm documentation are available region-wide, and The Roof Shepherd manages installation with subcontractor crews under our direction.

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Pearland, 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 | 67 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 10 |
| Largest stone recorded | 1.75 in · March 30, 2002 |
| Busiest year | 2026 · 7 events |
| Most common months | April and May |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 70 mph · April 3, 2018 |
| Radar hail days, 1 in or larger | 233 days · 2000-2026 · largest signature 4.00 in |
| Preliminary reports, last 12 months | 3 reports of 1 in or larger · largest 1.25 in on April 30, 2026 |
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Brazoria County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Pearland 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 Pearland, 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 Pearland, from the National Weather Service archive. 24 reports from 2006 to 2025, 5 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.

Wind & Storm History
Documented storm exposure in Pearland
Wind & Hurricane Frequency
NOAA logs 94 verified thunderstorm wind reports within 10 miles of Pearland since 1996; the busiest year was 2015 with 9 reports. Hurricane season runs June through November on this coast.
What To Document
Lifted or creased shingles, moved flashing, exposed decking, debris hits, and water getting in after a storm.
What the storm record means locally
After a major hurricane or derecho, 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
Neighborhoods across Pearland differ in lot elevation, tree cover and roof age. A record of your block beats an estimate for the whole area. After any significant storm, a documented record of visible conditions protects your position.
What the record confirms
Verified storm record for the Houston and Gulf Coast region Pearland sits in. Roof condition changes with every season, which is why the homeowner should own the documentation.
May 30 baseball size hail
NOAA verifies 2.75 inch hail in Arcola on May 30, 1999, a baseball size stone.
April 7 golf ball size hail
NOAA verifies 1.75 inch hail in South Houston on April 7, 2003, a golf ball size stone.
Hurricane Harvey
A Category 4 landfall that stalled and dropped up to 60 inches of rain, the wettest tropical cyclone in U.S. history, with damage estimated near 125 billion dollars.
April 3 81 mph gust
NOAA verifies a 81 mph thunderstorm gust at East Haven on April 3, 2018.
Hurricane Beryl
A July 8 landfall with a 97 mph gust knocked out power to about 2.2 million customers and stripped shingles across the metro.
Where these figures come from
Figures drawn from public NOAA, National Weather Service, and Insurance Council of Texas, 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 8 hail reports within 10 miles of Pearland, 6 of them inside 6 miles. The largest measured 1.25 inches on April 30, 2026, about 7.0 miles away. Damaging wind has been reported 3 times in the same period, most recently 63 mph on October 24, 2025. 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 Pearland
Local ground truth for Pearland properties
Pearland sits in Brazoria County in the Houston and Gulf Coast region, home to roughly 129,620 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). Gulf moisture and hurricane-season wind set the roofing risk profile here.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Pearland are likely to be
When the houses went up
Pearland has 46,105 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 2003. 40 percent were built before 2000 and 22 percent before 1990; 27 percent have been built since 2010. A mixed stock. Roughly 40 in 100 homes carry a roof that could be original to a pre-2000 build, while 27 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.

| Built 2020 or later | 583 | 1% |
| Built 2010 to 2019 | 11,893 | 26% |
| Built 2000 to 2009 | 15,358 | 33% |

Local Conditions
What is different about working on Pearland homes
What roofs face in this market
Pearland sits in Brazoria County, population 129,620. Counting hail reports of every size, the NOAA Storm Events archive logs 67 hail reports within ten miles of Pearland from 2000 to 2026, 10 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 1.75 inches. Counting reports of every size, 2026 was the busiest year in that record, with 7 reports. Activity concentrates in April and May. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 70 mph on April 3, 2018.
The largest hail recorded near Pearland, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| October 4, 2004 | 1.75″ |
| April 7, 2003 | 1.75″ |
| March 30, 2002 | 1.75″ |
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.
Pearland sits in Texas windstorm territory. Brazoria County is one of the fourteen seacoast counties inside the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association area, and that changes what a roof has to prove. Work here generally requires a Texas Department of Insurance WPI-8 certificate, issued after inspection, confirming the installation meets windstorm building requirements. Without it, windstorm coverage on the structure can be affected. It is not paperwork you discover after the job; the inspection has to be scheduled into the work.
Permits are a Pearland 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 Brazoria 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 Pearland homeowners should know about exterior work
Managed by The Roof Shepherd
For exterior repairs (siding, painting, epoxy, wood) in the Houston and Gulf Coast region, The Roof Shepherd schedules local subcontractor crews as they have openings. We document exterior condition during the roof visit so the work starts from an accurate record.
Sequence Matters
Get the roof documented first. Exterior work comes after. A roof visit often turns up fascia rot, pulled gutters and trim damage that change what the exterior job costs before any work begins.

Homeowner Reviews
I recently got a roof installed and my trim painted with this company. The process was simple — David helped me pick out colors for the roof, and I had no idea there were so many to choose from. I appreciate David and his crew for taking care of my home and respecting my property by making sure everything was masked and cleaned up by the end of the process. These guys were on time, efficient, took care of everything I asked for, kept me updated throughout, and took care of the small details I was picky about. I would highly recommend!
Owner Response
Sloan, I really appreciate you taking the time to share this. It was a pleasure helping with your roof installation, trim painting, and the color-selection process. I’m glad the process felt simple and that the crew respected your property with proper masking, cleanup, and communication throughout the project. Those details matter, especially when we are working on someone’s home. Thank you again for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof and painting work.
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!
