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

Roof age, by the census
How old the roofs in Willow Park are likely to be
When Willow Park houses went up, per the Census, and so roughly when their original roofs were put on.
When the houses went up
Willow Park has 2,026 housing units in the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimate. The median home was built in 2002. 44 percent were built before 2000 and 32 percent before 1990; 20 percent have been built since 2010. A mixed stock. Roughly 44 in 100 homes carry a roof that could be original to a pre-2000 build, while 20 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.

Roof permits and code in Willow Park
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
Willow Park's code requires a permit to alter, repair, or replace building work. Its list of work exempt from permits does not include roofing. The city's over-the-counter permit form does not list re-roofing, so ask the city which application to use. Permit fees follow the city's adopted fee schedule, which was not found online.
Willow Park requires every contractor to register with the city and carry liability insurance. The city's registration form says there is currently no fee to register. The city adopted the 2021 International Residential Code with regional amendments by Ordinance 901-24 on March 26, 2024.
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 Willow Park, 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
Willow Park 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!

The Roof Shepherd LLC, came to my rescued in time when I was struggling to find help with my damaged roof. My home insurance at the time refused to provide help or pay for the damage to my roof at the time unless I pay the substantial amount they requested up front of ($28,500). I felt so lost, confused and helpless worrying on how to pay this and keep my home safe and prevent the roof from worse leaks due to bad weather and heavy rain our area was receiving at the time. Three months in praying asking God for help. On May 10th 2026, Saturday morning my doorbell rang.

God answered my prayers in time when I needed help and I could not thank Him enough. I thank you David for your service, you've never given up on me when I was struggling along the way. It was a long depressed and difficult 6 months but you were still there for me till end. I'm very proud to say, I now have a beautiful strong Roof on my house, and a reasonable well managed Home/Auto insurance. Yes I will and do recommend "The Roof Shepherd" 💯 to anyone and everyone who are struggling and are experiencing the same problem and difficult I've gone through with my Roof and home insurance.

Owner Response
Noela, thank you for taking the time to write such a heartfelt review. It truly means a lot. This was not a quick or simple situation, and I know it took months of patience, coordination, decision-making, and trust to finally get your roof completed. I'm grateful you allowed me to walk with you through the process, explain the roofing system, discuss your options clearly, and help you make informed decisions for your home. I'm especially thankful that your Copperas Cove, Texas roof is now completed and that your home is better protected moving forward. You and your family were patient through a difficult season, and I'm glad The Roof Shepherd LLC could be part of helping bring this project to the finish line. Thank you again for trusting me, for your prayers, and for your kind words. God bless you and your family.
The Roof Shepherd is amazing. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Getting a new roof can be stressful, but he made the process super easy. He answered all our questions and concerns, worked with our insurance company, and gave us a good price for a new Class 4 roof. The workers were very courteous and professional — they went the extra mile, made sure everything was okay in the attic, worked around the gutters, installed new vents, and later repaired our shed connected to the house. They got everything done in one day, hours ahead of schedule. I highly recommend The Roof Shepherd to anyone that needs a new roof!
