Seguin At A Glance
What homeowners in Seguin should know
How Seguin ranks for large hail and home age, and who sets permit rules here.
The questions we get most
Seguin and Guadalupe County sit within the Austin to San Antonio corridor, the fast growing Interstate 35 megaregion that planners expect to merge the two metros into one Central Texas region over the coming decades, much like Dallas and Fort Worth. The Roof Shepherd documents and serves the whole corridor end to end.
Seguin, in Guadalupe County, is about 83 miles and 84 minutes by road from our Round Rock base. Roofing permit rules are set locally, and Texas has no statewide roofing license, so we confirm the rules for your address before work starts.
Roofing Insight
Seguin’s Guadalupe River location creates moisture conditions that accelerate biological growth on north-facing roof surfaces. Algae staining and moss should be documented alongside storm damage after any weather event.
Hail & Storm Exposure
Hail 1.75 inches or larger, golf ball size, was reported 2 times within ten miles of Seguin from 2000 to 2026. That ranks 201st of the 207 Texas cities on this site, and 70th of 71 in the region around Round Rock.
Exterior & Painting Note
Seguin’s historic district includes original limestone block construction. Vapor-permeable masonry coatings are required to avoid trapping moisture in historic structures.
Common Roofing Issues
The common problems in Seguin are the same as across Central Texas. Sun wears off granules. Hail dents vents and gutters. Pipe boots fail. Older attics vent poorly. The specific soil and humidity conditions in Guadalupe County add local nuance to each.

Worth Knowing
Seguin is known as the Pecan Capital of the World. The city hosts the Texas Pecan Festival and was home to early pecan cultivation that helped seed the broader Texas pecan industry.
What the storm record means locally
After major hail events, out-of-state contractors arrive quickly. A written record of visible conditions before any repair decision protects your position, whether you file a claim or not. The Roof Shepherd documents first. Decisions come after.
Local Note
Caterpillar’s large manufacturing campus is one of Seguin’s biggest employers, anchoring the city’s industrial base alongside Guadalupe River-driven tourism.

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

Live NOAA record Since September 2024, NOAA has logged 3 hail reports within 10 miles of Seguin, 2 of them inside 6 miles. The largest measured 1.5 inches on May 2, 2025, about 9.2 miles away. Damaging wind has been reported 2 times in the same period, most recently 59 mph on August 28, 2026. These are NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary reports covering September 30, 2024 to October 29, 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 Seguin
Local ground truth for Seguin properties
Seguin sits in Guadalupe County in Central Texas, home to roughly 38,789 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). NOAA storm records log 20 hail events within ten miles since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 2″ on March 26, 2000.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Seguin are likely to be
Census figures on when Seguin homes were built, which tells you roughly when their first roofs went on.
When the houses went up
Seguin has 12,565 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 1984. 67 percent were built before 2000 and 57 percent before 1990; 21 percent have been built since 2010. Half or more of the homes here predate 2000. An original asphalt-shingle roof from that era is at or past the 20-to-30-year service life typically cited for asphalt shingles, and many will already be on a second roof, which is worth confirming from a permit or a receipt rather than assuming.
| Year built | Homes | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Built 2020 or later | 357 | 3% |
| Built 2010 to 2019 | 2,288 | 18% |

What the city's own documents say
Seguin's published guidance and its city code both say replacing shingles or other roof covering on a home needs no permit unless the decking or framing is affected. When a permit is needed, the fee schedule lists $110 for roof replacement.
Contractors must register with the city for $100 a year. Seguin has adopted the 2021 International Residential Code.

Exterior & Painting
What Seguin 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
Seguin’s historic downtown properties may carry exterior modification considerations. Newer subdivisions north of downtown increasingly carry HOA approval requirements for roofing materials and colors.
Sequence Matters
Seguin’s mix of historic German-era limestone homes and 1970s to 1990s brick construction requires surface-specific documentation. Limestone and painted brick respond differently to hail and UV degradation, and a condition record before restoration or repair protects owners during any insurance or contractor conversation. 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.

David provided a great experience from beginning to end. He and his team were professional, communicative, and did excellent work on our roof. They made the whole process easy and stress-free, kept everything clean, and completed the job on time. Very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing roofing services.
Owner Response
Thank you so much for the kind review. I truly appreciate you trusting me and my team with your roof. I’m glad we were able to make the process feel easy, keep communication clear, protect the property, and complete the work on schedule. Clean workmanship and a smooth experience matter a lot to us, so it means a great deal to hear that reflected in your review. Thank you again for the recommendation and for allowing The Roof Shepherd to help with your home.
After my family's experience with David and the rest of The Roof Shepherd crew, I don't see a reason to consider another roofing company. They explained to us and showed us, in clear and transparent detail, why we needed a new roof instead of a repair. They walked us through all of our options for materials and the differences in each type, all while easily fielding our questions. We never felt any pressure. Once we agreed on the best option for our family, the rest of the process went super smooth. They arrived to remove the old material and install the new exactly when they said they would. Since David had explained what would happen in our initial meeting, I knew what to expect, and what he said is exactly what happened. No surprises. They were fast, efficient, and the work was high quality. David checked in with us a couple of times to inform us about the progress and what they were doing, which we really appreciated. When they were finished, we went through photos and videos of what they uncovered during the removal of the old material, the installation process, and the finished product so we could see exactly what had happened. The roof looked great! We even had some good ole Texas thunderstorms roll through in the days after the install for a stress test, and everything held up perfectly. All in all, The Roof Shepherd made this such a stress-free and easy experience. We are so happy we made the right choice to work with them. If you need repairs or a new roof, these are the guys.
Owner Response
Bryant, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review. It means a lot. This Austin roof installation came together quickly, but the goal was still the same: explain the condition of the roof clearly, walk through the repair-versus-replacement decision, review the material options, and make sure your family knew what to expect before the work started. I'm especially glad the communication, timing, cleanup, and photo/video documentation helped make the process feel smooth and low-stress. A roof replacement is a major decision, and homeowners deserve to see what was found, what was installed, and why it mattered. We're grateful your family trusted The Roof Shepherd with your home. And those Texas thunderstorms right after the install were definitely a real-world stress test. I'm glad everything performed the way it should.
The Roof Shepherd did an amazing job — the company and, more importantly, the crew were fast and reliable. They had our roof and vents done in a timely manner after the recent storms. We upgraded after all the hail and high winds we’ve had over the last few years, and to our surprise it brought a discount on our insurance as well. The house looks great. It was the easiest choice on home maintenance we have ever made. Hands down, I would choose them again and would recommend them to anyone.
Owner Response
Valerie, thank you so much for the kind review and for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof and ventilation work. I’m glad we were able to help after the recent storms and get everything handled in a timely way. Upgrading to an impact-rated roofing system can make a real difference, especially after years of hail and high winds, and it’s great to hear the insurance discount was a helpful surprise as well. I also appreciate you recognizing the crew: fast, reliable, and respectful work matters, and I’m grateful they represented the company well on your home. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve your family.
