When it happens
When is hail season in Texas, and has Williamson County been hit?
Texas hail season runs roughly March through May, as unstable spring air masses move across the state ahead of summer. April and May are typically the most active months for Central Texas, according to the National Weather Service's Austin/San Antonio office. This is not a hypothetical risk for Williamson County: NOAA's Storm Events Database records 203 hail events across the county between 2015 and 2025, including a 4-inch hailstone in Round Rock in September 2023, the kind of size that can crack shingles, dent gutters, and damage decking even when the roof looks fine from the ground.
Not sure if you have a problem?
Know the Warning Signs
Roof problems do not fix themselves, and they tend to get worse, and more expensive, over time. Catching issues early can save thousands of dollars in repairs. Common warning signs include granule loss in gutters, curling or missing shingles, daylight visible through the attic decking, and water stains on interior ceilings.
Filing a claim
How do hail damage insurance claims work?
At a high level, here is what happens after a storm.
File the claim and document everything
File a claim with your homeowner's insurer and photograph the damage before any repairs. The Texas Department of Insurance recommends keeping receipts for any temporary repairs, like a tarp, that your policy may reimburse.
Be there for the adjuster
An adjuster inspects the roof and the insurer decides what it will pay based on your policy and your deductible, the amount you owe out of pocket before coverage kicks in. Be present when the adjuster visits so you can point out everything.
Know the deductible law
It is illegal in Texas for a roofer to promise to waive or cover your deductible. That practice is banned under Business and Commerce Code Section 27.02, passed as House Bill 2102 in 2019. A first offense is a Class B misdemeanor. If a contractor offers it, treat it as a warning sign, not a discount.
Why Williamson County
Common Reasons Roofs Fail Here
It is not always obvious from the ground. Here is why homes here are especially prone to roof damage.
Intense Summer Heat and UV
Long, hot Texas summers bake asphalt shingles year after year, drying out the asphalt and accelerating granule loss well before a roof reaches its expected lifespan.
Sudden Spring Wind Events
Spring storm season brings straight-line winds strong enough to lift or tear shingles, especially on older roofs or homes with prior storm damage that was never repaired.
Before you sign anything
How do you vet a roofer in Texas?
Texas does not require roofing contractors to hold a state license. That makes your own screening the main safeguard.
Check for an RCAT license
The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT) runs a voluntary license: members carry at least $300,000 in general liability insurance (or a $100,000 bond) and pass business and roofing exams. It is a useful, but not required, signal.
Get bids and proof in writing
The Texas Department of Insurance recommends verifying a roofer's name, address, and phone number, confirming proof of insurance, checking local references, and getting at least three written bids, with scope of work and warranty terms in writing before work starts.
Never pay it all up front
Be wary of any contractor asking for a large deposit or full payment before touching your roof.
Watch for this
Red flags after a storm
Out-of-state door knockers
After a major hailstorm, out-of-state "storm chasers" often go door to door offering fast, cheap repairs. Both the Texas Department of Insurance and the Texas Attorney General's office warn about this pattern.
No local address or insurance proof
No local address, no proof of insurance, pressure to sign a contract on the spot, and a request for a big deposit or full payment before work begins are the clearest warning signs.
You have three days to cancel
Texas law gives you three days to cancel a contract signed with a door-to-door salesperson, so use that window if you feel rushed.

Roofing questions homeowners ask first.
Is the roofing inspection really free?
Yes. There is no cost or obligation to request an inspection through this page. If you decide to move forward with repairs, that conversation happens directly between you and the roofing company that visits your home.
How much does roof repair cost in Williamson County?
Most roof repairs in Williamson County cost between $150 and $3,000 depending on the type and severity. A full roof replacement on an average Central Texas home typically runs $8,000 to $18,000. Minor leak repairs are often on the lower end, while storm or hail damage can require more extensive work.
When is hail season in Texas?
Hail season in Texas runs roughly March through May, with April and May the most active months as spring storm systems move through Central Texas. Williamson County has recorded 203 hail events from 2015 through 2025, including a 4-inch hailstone in Round Rock in September 2023, according to NOAA’s Storm Events Database.
Can a roofer legally waive my insurance deductible?
No. Texas law (Business and Commerce Code Section 27.02, from House Bill 2102) makes it a criminal offense for a contractor to advertise or promise to rebate, credit, or otherwise cover part of your insurance deductible. If a roofer offers this, it is a legal red flag, not a discount.
Do roofers in Texas need a state license?
No. Texas does not require a state license to work as a roofing contractor. The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas (RCAT) runs a voluntary licensing program, so an RCAT license is a useful screening signal, but it is not mandatory and its absence does not mean a roofer is unqualified.
