Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database · Parker County · 2000-2026 · within 10 miles of the Springtown centroid. Counts are reported events, so they undercount: a stone that fell where nobody reported it is not in the record.
Checked October 23, 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 Springtown
Local ground truth for Springtown properties
Springtown sits in Parker County in North Texas, home to roughly 4,843 residents (Census Bureau estimate, 2024). The area rides the DFW hail alley, one of the most hail-struck metros in the country.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Springtown are likely to be
When Springtown houses went up, per the Census, and so roughly when their original roofs were put on.
When the houses went up
Springtown has 1,287 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 1986. 65 percent were built before 2000 and 57 percent before 1990; 10 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.

Roof permits and code in Springtown
What the city's own documents say about a re-roof permit and code here, and the date they were read.
What the city's documents show
Springtown enforces the 2018 IRC with regional amendments from its council of governments, which do not add re-roofing to the work exempt from permits. The city quotes permit fees when you apply.
In April 2024 the city warned that it does not send inspectors to check roofs for storm damage. Anyone claiming to inspect roofs for the city should be reported.
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.
Exterior & Painting
What Springtown, TX homeowners should know about exterior work
Have the roof documented before exterior work, since fascia rot, loose gutters and trim damage often show up.
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Springtown mixes older homes near its center with newer subdivisions. Older frame and brick homes need routine exterior paint and wood care, while newer builds focus on trim and flashing.
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
I happened to stumble across David while out walking my dogs and I am so glad I did! Godley had just been hit with a hail storm and needed someone to take a look at my roof to check for damage. David came the very next day to inspect. He showed me pictures of the damage and answered any questions I had. Thankfully the damage was not extensive that a roof replacement was needed but if indeed a replacement was needed I would’ve felt at ease with David completing the process. I especially liked his professionalism and knowledge. Should I ever need anyone for roofing services I will definitely be calling him!
Owner Response
Thank you, Dominique, for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof inspection after the hailstorm in Godley, Texas. I appreciate your kind words and am glad I could provide a thorough inspection and clearly explain what I found.
I also really enjoyed meeting your puppy during the visit. That was definitely a highlight of my day. If you ever have questions about your roof or need help after another storm, I will be glad to assist.
The Roof Shepherd, David, did a great job on our roof repair. He was able to upgrade our shingles to a better class. Very polite and professional.
Owner Response
George, thank you for the kind review. I appreciate you trusting me with your roof replacement in Copperas Cove, Texas, and I’m glad we were able to help upgrade your shingles to a better class for your home. Clear communication, professional guidance, and making sure the homeowner understands the roofing options are always important to me. I appreciate the opportunity to help.
David inspected my roof and provided valuable information. I told him from the beginning that I just wanted the inspection done, and although he knew that I wouldn't likely buy a new roof he came out anyways. He did inform me of certain issues that I should keep an eye for. Once the next storm hits I know who I will call. Thanks for the inspection, advice and guidance.
Owner Response
Leo, thank you for trusting me with the commercial roof evaluation in Georgetown, Texas. My goal was to give you a clear understanding of the metal roof’s current condition without pressuring you into work that was not immediately necessary.
We reviewed three practical options: replacing and resecuring the existing fasteners, applying a commercial roof coating system, or installing a new standing-seam metal roof. Each option has different advantages, limitations, maintenance requirements and long-term costs, so it was important to explain the pros and cons clearly.
I appreciate the opportunity to provide the inspection and guidance. When the property needs another evaluation or you are ready to move forward, The Roof Shepherd will be here to help.
