Venus At A Glance
What homeowners in Venus should know
In Venus, 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 Venus’s building department before work begins. The Roof Shepherd documents your roof’s condition and explains your options. If you decide to move forward, permitting and installation are handled through The Roof Shepherd and its vetted partner network.
Hail Alley
Venus sits in North Texas, which records the most hailstorms in Texas in a typical year, the state logged 878 major hail events in 2024. Documentation after a storm protects your position before any contractor conversation. Venus is a fast-growing Johnson County city south of Arlington, with newer suburban homes exposed to recurring North Texas hail.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s verified record since 2018 within 10 miles of Venus includes 2.75 inch hail at Venus on April 9, 2021; 2.75 inch hail at Mansfield on June 12, 2023. 14 thunderstorm wind events and 5 tornado reports sit inside the same window. Peak hail months here: April and May. Across Johnson County as a whole, NOAA logged 116 hail events from 2016 through 2025, with hail to 4 inches, plus 49 damaging thunderstorm wind events and 7 tornado reports.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Johnson County neighborhoods carry HOA architectural review requirements on shingle color and material. Given the hail exposure, impact-resistant (UL 2218 Class 3 to 4) shingles are worth discussing. Confirm HOA rules before selecting materials.
Common Roofing Issues
Repeated large-hail exposure means bruised shingles, granule loss, and soft-metal damage to vents and flashing, conditions a documented inspection captures before the next storm makes them worse.

Hail History
Documented storm exposure in Venus
Hail Frequency
NOAA storm records log 45 hail events within 10 miles of Venus since 2018, 8 of them inside the city’s immediate 6 mile ring. The largest verified stone measured 3 inches on May 4, 1999. Local activity peaks in April and May.
What To Document
Bruised shingles, granule loss, and soft-metal damage to gutters, vents, and flashing, often invisible from the ground.
What the storm record means locally
After a major hail event, 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 Venus (Johnson County) vary by lot elevation, tree cover, and roof age, so block-level documentation beats area-wide estimates. After any significant storm, a documented record of visible conditions protects your position.
How these figures are corroborated
Verified hail and wind events across the Dallas and Fort Worth metroplex, the region Venus sits in. Roof condition changes with every storm season, which is why the homeowner should own the documentation.

Sources behind these numbers
Live NOAA record Since July 2024, NOAA has logged 11 hail reports within 10 miles of Venus, 4 of them inside 6 miles. The largest measured 2 inches on May 16, 2025, about 5.6 miles away. These are NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary reports covering July 30, 2024 to August 28, 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.

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around Venus, 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 | 112 |
|---|---|
| Reached 1.75 in or larger | 23 |
| Largest stone recorded | 2.75 in · June 13, 2012 |
| Busiest year | 2011 · 12 events |
| Most common months | April and May |
| Strongest gust in the archive | 96 mph · April 23, 2003 |

What roofs face in this market
Venus sits in Johnson County, population 4,361. The NOAA Storm Events archive logs 112 hail events within ten miles of Venus since 2000, 23 of them at a size generally associated with roof damage.

The largest hail recorded near Venus, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| June 12, 2023 | 2.75″ |
| April 9, 2021 | 2.75″ |
| May 27, 2014 | 2.75″ |
| June 13, 2012 | 2.75″ |
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.
Permits are a Venus 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 Johnson 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.

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!

What Venus, TX homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Venus, the Johnson County seat with deep railroad heritage, mixes older homes near its historic downtown 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
Exterior painting and repair work should follow, not precede, roofing documentation. 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.

Venus FAQs
Common questions in Venus
Does The Roof Shepherd work in Venus?
Yes. The Roof Shepherd provides roof inspection, storm documentation, and homeowner guidance across Venus and Johnson County. Beyond inspection and documentation, full roofing is available through our trusted partner network, from first look through installation, on one consistent documentation standard.
How quickly can I get a roof inspection in Venus?
Active leaks and post-storm documentation are prioritized. Send your address and a short description of the concern and we’ll follow up with a current estimate.
Is Venus in a hail-prone area?
NOAA records log 45 hail events within 10 miles of Venus since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 2.75 inches on June 13, 2012. Venus sits in the North Texas hail corridor, among the most hail-active metro areas in the country. Documenting visible roof and gutter conditions after any significant storm is good practice.
What roofing holds up best in Venus?
Architectural asphalt shingles are most common. Given the hail exposure, impact-resistant (UL 2218 Class 3 to 4) shingles are worth discussing, particularly for homes carrying higher deductibles.
Does The Roof Shepherd offer painting or siding in Venus?
Those services are coordinated through vetted local partners in North Texas as availability is confirmed. The Roof Shepherd documents exterior condition during the roof visit so any partner work starts from an accurate record.
How do I get started in Venus?
Use the Get Help form with your Venus address and a description of your concern. Submissions are reviewed the same day during business hours.
Does Venus get a lot of hail?
Yes. Venus sits in the Dallas and Fort Worth hail corridor, one of the most active in the country, with the heaviest risk from March through June. Hail bruises shingles and shortens roof life, often without damage you can see from the ground.
What is the biggest roofing risk in Venus?
Hail and wind. North Texas spring storms bring large hail and, less often, tornadoes. Documenting roof condition after any major hail or wind event protects your position.
When is severe weather season in Venus?
Spring, roughly March through June, is the peak for hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes, when Gulf moisture meets dry plains air. A second smaller window can occur in the fall.
Who is a trusted roofer near me in Venus?
The Roof Shepherd serves Venus with documented inspections, photo condition records, and education-first guidance, based in Round Rock, Texas. Trust is verifiable: BBB accreditation, public reviews, and a documentation record you keep. Call or text 512-575-5052.
How much does roof replacement cost in Venus?
Roof replacement cost in Venus depends on roof size, pitch, material choice, decking condition, and ventilation work. Rather than quoting blind, The Roof Shepherd documents your roof first so any price you evaluate is grounded in your roof’s actual condition.
