The short version
- From its Round Rock base, The Roof Shepherd works in White Settlement and across Tarrant County in North Texas.
- From 2000 to 2026 the NOAA record shows 318 hail events inside a ten mile ring around White Settlement, topped by a 3.50 inch stone on March 28, 2000.
- Before anyone talks repair or a new roof, the roof's condition is written down, so the choice rests on evidence.
- Permit rules here are local, not statewide. Inside city limits the city sets them; outside them the county does, and that can mean no permit at all.
- Should you go ahead, one company runs the job end to end: contract, materials, crew, walkthrough and written warranty.
To book a documented inspection in White Settlement, call or text 512-575-5052 or send the Get Help form.

White Settlement At A Glance
What homeowners in White Settlement should know
Permits, hail and the first documented visit: what a homeowner in Tarrant County should know first.
In White Settlement, 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 White Settlement’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.
Hail Alley
White Settlement and Tarrant County sit in what meteorologists call “Hail Alley.” North Texas records the most hailstorms in Texas in a typical year, the state logged 878 major hail events in 2024 alone. A written record after a storm protects your position before any repair decision. White Settlement sits in Tarrant County, where North Texas hail and wind reach a growing housing stock.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds 352 verified hail reports within 10 miles of White Settlement since 1996, inside the North Texas hail alley. The busiest single year in that record was 2011, with 34 reports inside the ring.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Tarrant County neighborhoods have an HOA with rules 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
Across White Settlement, repeated large hail leaves bruised shingles, lost granules and dented vents and flashing. A documented inspection records those before they get worse.

Reading the public storm record
Every figure below is the public storm record for a 10-mile radius around White Settlement, 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. To see the days radar recorded hail near your own address, use our hail history lookup.

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

Hail History
Documented storm exposure in White Settlement
Hail verified around White Settlement, Tarrant County, and the case for a dated record before any repair decision.

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.
Neighborhood Exposure
Every part of White Settlement sits within this exposure. Hail varies by lot elevation and tree cover, so block-level documentation beats area-wide estimates.
How these figures are corroborated
A verified record of the hail and wind events that shaped White Settlement roofs. Condition changes over time, which is why the homeowner should own the documentation.
Verified Storm Record
June 1 hen egg size hail
NOAA verifies 2.25 inch hail in Seminary Hill on June 1, 2025, a hen egg size stone.
October 12 golf ball size hail
NOAA verifies 1.75 inch hail in Valley View on October 12, 2001, a golf ball size stone.
May 17 golf ball size hail

Sources behind these numbers
Live NOAA record Since September 2024, NOAA has logged 35 hail reports within 10 miles of White Settlement, 26 of them inside 6 miles. The largest measured 2.75 inches on April 25, 2026, about 2.9 miles away. Damaging wind has been reported 11 times in the same period, most recently 70 mph on April 25, 2026. These are NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary reports covering September 9, 2024 to October 8, 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 White Settlement
Local ground truth for White Settlement properties
White Settlement sits in Tarrant County in North Texas. NOAA storm records log 81 hail events within ten miles since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 3.5″ on March 28, 2000.
Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in White Settlement are likely to be
When White Settlement houses went up, per the Census, and so roughly when their original roofs were put on.
When the houses went up
White Settlement has 7,663 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 1974. 78 percent were built before 2000 and 72 percent before 1990; 14 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.

| Built 2020 or later | 406 | 5% |
| Built 2010 to 2019 | 674 | 9% |

Local Conditions
What is different about working on White Settlement homes
Roofing in Tarrant County: the hail count, the biggest stones by date, and why permits are a local matter.
What roofs face in this market
White Settlement sits in Tarrant County. Counting hail reports of every size, the NOAA Storm Events archive logs 318 hail reports within ten miles of White Settlement from 2000 to 2026, 84 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 3.5 inches. Counting reports of every size, 2011 was the busiest year in that record, with 34 reports. Activity concentrates in April and May. The strongest recorded wind gust nearby reached 70 mph on April 24, 2015.
The largest hail recorded near White Settlement, by date:
| Date | Largest stone |
|---|---|
| April 15, 2000 | 3.0″ |
| March 28, 2000 | 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 White Settlement 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 Tarrant 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.

Exterior & Painting
What White Settlement, 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
White Settlement is an established suburb just west of Fort Worth with mostly mid-century and later homes. Exterior paint, wood trim, and eaves are the recurring upkeep, and sun-facing elevations age fastest.
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.
Dave was great — he went above and beyond what any company would do. There were major issues with my insurance company, and he was there every step of the way helping me get things done. Dave and his crew were great — they made sure my motorcycle was covered up properly during the work, and they cleaned up beautifully when they were done.
Owner Response
Thank you so much for this review and for trusting me and the crew with your home. I know this project had some difficult moments, especially with the insurance side of the process, and I’m grateful I was able to help with documentation, communication, and support along the way. It also means a lot that you noticed the care the crew took around your property and the cleanup after the roof was completed, because protecting the property matters just as much as the roof itself. I truly appreciate your kind words and your trust.
David was an absolute pleasure to work with. He showed up right on time for the quote on our repairs and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Great communicator, clear explanations, and genuinely easy to deal with from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone reliable who actually cares about doing things right, David is your guy. Highly recommend.
Owner Response
Thank you for the thoughtful review. It was a pleasure meeting with you in Georgetown, Texas, and helping you review the roof repair options for your home. I really appreciate you mentioning the communication, timing, and clear explanations. Even when a homeowner decides to go a different direction, my goal is still the same: show up on time, explain the roof concerns clearly, provide a straightforward repair quote, and help you make a confident decision. Thank you again for the kind words and recommendation.

How quickly can I get a roof inspection in White Settlement?

Is White Settlement in a hail-prone area?
NOAA records log 81 hail events within 10 miles of White Settlement since 2018. The largest stone in the full NOAA archive, 2000 to 2026, measured 3.5 inches on March 28, 2000. White Settlement 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 materials hold up best against North Texas hail?
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. Confirm any HOA material rules first.

Yes. White Settlement sits in one of the most active hail corridors in the country. NOAA lists 163 hail reports of one inch or larger within 10 miles of White Settlement from 2006 to 2025, the largest at 3.00 inches, and large hail returns most springs, March through June. Hail bruises shingles even when it is hard to see from the ground.
