Pflugerville At A Glance
What homeowners in Pflugerville should know
In Pflugerville, 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 Pflugerville’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
Pflugerville 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. Pflugerville is a fast-growing Travis County suburb northeast of Austin, with suburban neighborhoods squarely in the Central Texas hail corridor.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds 196 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Pflugerville since 1996, squarely on the I-35 hail corridor. The busiest single year in that record was 2023, with 44 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

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Pflugerville, 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 | 190 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 57 |
| Largest stone recorded | 4.00 in · May 14, 2008 |
| Busiest year | 2023 · 44 events |
| Most common months | April and March |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 70 mph · May 14, 2008 |
| Radar hail days, 1 in or larger | 144 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 Pflugerville 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 Pflugerville, 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 Pflugerville, from the National Weather Service archive. 142 reports from 2006 to 2025, 55 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 Pflugerville
Hail Frequency
NOAA storm records log 93 hail events within 10 miles of Pflugerville since 2018, 25 of them inside the city’s immediate 6 mile ring. The largest verified stone measured 3 inches on September 24, 2023. Since 2018, hail here peaks in April and September.
Largest Recorded
The September 24, 2023 hailstorm caused an NWS-estimated $600 million across Travis and Williamson counties; Georgetown saw verified 2.5 inch hail on April 22, 2025, a benchmark for what Central Texas storms can do.
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 Pflugerville: Blackhawk, Falcon Pointe, Springbrook, The Commons at Rowe Lane, Highland Park. 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

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 9 hail reports within 10 miles of Pflugerville, 2 of them inside 6 miles. The largest measured 1.75 inches on April 30, 2025, about 8.9 miles away. Damaging wind has been reported 1 time in the same period, most recently 74 mph on May 19, 2026. 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 Pflugerville
Local ground truth for Pflugerville properties
Pflugerville sits in Travis County in Central Texas, home to roughly 66,819 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). NOAA storm records log 93 hail events within ten miles since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 4″ on May 14, 2008.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Pflugerville are likely to be
When the houses went up
Pflugerville has 24,939 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 2004. 40 percent were built before 2000 and 17 percent before 1990; 32 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 32 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.

What is different about working on Pflugerville homes
What roofs face in this market
Pflugerville sits in Travis County, population 66,819. Counting hail reports of every size, the NOAA Storm Events archive logs 190 hail reports within ten miles of Pflugerville from 2000 to 2026, 57 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 4.0 inches. Counting reports of every size, 2023 was the busiest year in that record, with 44 reports. Activity concentrates in April and March. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 70 mph on May 14, 2008.
The largest hail recorded near Pflugerville, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| September 24, 2023 | 4.0″ |
| May 14, 2008 | 4.0″ |
| May 20, 2001 | 3.5″ |
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 Pflugerville 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.

What Pflugerville homeowners should know about exterior work
City rules, utility rules and local records that change how siding, paint, fences, solar and outside work get done here. Checked against the sources on each card; the source’s current version governs if it changes.
Which code book Pflugerville is working from
Pflugerville adopted the 2021 editions of the International Building, Residential, Plumbing, Mechanical, Fuel Gas, Energy Conservation, Fire, Existing Building, Property Maintenance and Swimming Pool and Spa Codes, together with the 2020 National Electrical Code. The residential code was adopted with amendments and with appendices H and J. Code editions are not trivia. Hutto next door is on the 2024 editions and Cedar Park is on 2021, so the same crew doing the same detail can satisfy one city’s book and miss another’s. Ask which edition a job is being built to before the work starts.
Sources: City of Pflugerville, ordinance adopting the 2021 codes with amendments (ordinance as read 2026-09-15); Pflugerville Code of Ordinances, Chapter 150 Building Regulations (chapter as read 2026-09-15).
Local amendments that land on your roof
Pflugerville wrote its own rules into the code, and several of them sit on the roof. The service mast, the metal pipe that carries the power line onto the house, must be at least two inches across, must be rigid or intermediate metal conduit, and may have no couplings above the roofline. It has to come through at least eighteen inches above the high side of the roof deck, and any mast longer than three feet measured from that high side has to be guyed. Open vent pipes through the roof terminate at least six inches above it, or seven feet where the roof is used for anything other than weather protection. The outdoor air conditioning unit has to sit far enough from the house that roof runoff does not pour straight onto it. Every one of those is something you can look at from the ground after a roof is called finished.

Do not take a no permit answer for granted here
Pflugerville adopted the International Residential Code, and under that code Section R105.2 is the list of work exempt from a permit. It runs to ten categories and roofing is not one of them. The adopting ordinance does not change that section. This matters because in this part of Texas a city’s published guidance and the code the same city adopted by ordinance have not always agreed, and we have found that in writing in more than one city nearby. So treat any no permit answer as a question rather than a conclusion, confirm it with the city for your address, and get it in writing if the permit matters to an insurance file, a sale or an appraisal.

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!
