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 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.

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
Census figures on when Pflugerville homes were built, which tells you roughly when their first roofs went on.
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.
| Year built | Homes | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Built 2020 or later | 752 | 3% |
| Built 2010 to 2019 | 7,115 | 29% |
| Built 2000 to 2009 | 7,191 | 29% |

What the city's own documents say
Pflugerville requires a permit for a residential re-roof, and the Fiscal Year 2027 fee schedule lists $80 per permit. Applications and fees go through the city's online permit portal.
The city's Re-Roof Inspection Certificate requires a certified third-party inspector, acknowledged at permit submission and signed before the final inspection. That form says inspections follow the 2021 IRC as adopted in Chapter 150 of the city code.
Read at the city's own pages and code on October 14, 2026. The city's current document governs if it changes, so we confirm the rule for your address before work starts. Our permits and codes by city page explains how Texas cities set these rules.

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.

Homeowner Reviews
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!
