(214) 766-3669 
Most Killeen houses were built between 1980 and 2009, and plenty of them are on an original or second roof that has sat through years of Bell County hail and wind. Whether you own the home, rent it out, or rent it yourself, the question is the same: what does this roof actually need, a repair, a new roof or nothing yet?
Use the form and we will call to arrange a visit, or phone (214) 766-3669 any day from 7 am to 6 pm.
Who covers Killeen for us
Leanne Tolbert owns SunTex, a 100% woman-owned and operated company. Killeen falls under Alex Keller, our Central Texas and Austin sales manager, and our Central Texas project managers, Travis Gardenhire and Alison Gardenhire, run jobs in the region. Behind them, Beth Keller handles operations and Suade Sherman manages the office and scheduling.
On a home with a median value of $215,400, roof work is a big share of the property's worth. Our job is to make sure you pay for what the roof needs and that the paperwork is ready if insurance is involved. That starts with an assessment that looks at the whole roof, not just the spot that leaks.
We look at the whole roof before recommending anything. If the damage sits on one slope and the rest is sound, the estimate says repair. If the roof is failing everywhere, we explain why a new roof is the better use of your money.
On an older roof, the type of coverage in your policy shapes the payout as much as the damage does. We document the damage with photos and support your insurance restoration claim, and we help you read what the adjuster's estimate covers. Coverage decisions stay between you and your insurer.
About half of Killeen's homes are rented. We work for the owner of the property, and we keep tenants informed on the schedule when the owner asks us to.
Call (214) 766-3669 or send the form. Tell us what you have noticed and whether you own or rent the home.
We come to your Killeen address, check the roof and photograph the damage. You get a written estimate and a plain answer: repair, replace, or leave it for now.
Approve the estimate and your project manager schedules the crew, keeps you informed, and walks the finished roof with you.
Killeen's housing stock is middle-aged and evenly split between owners and renters. The Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey counts 59,769 occupied homes in Killeen, with 29,558 owner-occupied and 30,211 rented, so renters slightly outnumber owners (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS table B25003).
The same survey counts 65,793 housing units. Of those, 14,001 were built in the 2000s, 11,208 in the 1990s and 10,185 in the 1980s, and the median Killeen home dates to 1996. The median owner-occupied home is worth $215,400.
A Bell County storm can cross several of the towns we serve in one afternoon. Our Central Texas crews also work in Harker Heights, where several hail reports filed under Killeen's airport actually landed, down the road in Belton, where 4.25-inch hail shattered house windows in 2014, and farther east in Temple.
Killeen belongs to the Central Texas towns we cover between Waco and the Austin suburbs. Our office is in Frisco; our Central Texas team covers Killeen.

Hands down recommend Beth and Alex with Christmas Lights and roofing consultations. Their communication is on point! Excellent service through your whole experience. We have been using them for two years now and will continue! Thanks yall!
Carin Gonzales
Highly recommend. Merry and Bright by Suntex Roofing made our home merry and bright this holiday season and are now my permanent go-to for my holiday lighting needs.
Chad Mandrell
The other day I had James Rose from SunTex do a courtesy inspection of our roof they replaced a little over a year ago. Mr. Rose was professional and knowledgeable when discussing how the drone inspection reveals no flaws or damage to the roof. I would definitely recommend SunTex to anyone look to have roof work done.

Alex Keller with SunTex Roofing exceeded! SunTex gave us a great experience from start to finish. The entire crew protected our new windows, plants, AC units, garden structures and even pool. I HIGHLY recommend this Texas local roofing company.

SunTex provides unmatched customer support and response times. We moved into a new house with the previous owners creating a massive hole upon moving out. SunTex came out immediately and provided a temporary patch to mitigate damage from an incoming storm. Then came back for the official repair a few days later.

Leanne and her team do GREAT work! Fast and clean as they do your roof replacement process. Leanne and her team are very professional. They get the job done. We are very pleased with our new roof, cutters and the restoration of our fence after the Salado Tornado this past April.

Not every storm means a new roof. A free assessment with photos tells you whether yours needs a repair, a replacement or nothing at all.
SunTex Roofing and Reconstruction was founded in 2022 and is 100% woman-owned and operated. Our one office is at 12800 Westridge Blvd, Suite 162, Frisco, TX 75035, the address on our Google Business Profile. We do not claim an office in Killeen, Temple or anywhere else in Central Texas. What we have there is a named team: a Central Texas sales manager and two Central Texas project managers.
That distinction matters after a storm. A roofer who was only in town for one storm season can be hard to reach later. Our names are on our About page and our phone number is the same in every city, so you know who to call about the roof a year or two after the work is done. We roof houses, multi-family buildings and commercial properties, and we install and maintain gutters as well.
Look up Killeen alone in NOAA's Storm Events Database and you will find only five hail reports since 2010, none bigger than an inch. That undercounts the city badly, because NOAA files many Killeen-area reports under nearby labels such as Killeen's airport, Fort Hood or Simmonsville (NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database).
Reading the narratives instead of the labels tells a different story. Across Bell County, 19 hail reports describe hail in or just outside Killeen, and 14 of those were an inch or larger. The biggest were golf ball size, 1.75 inches:
County-wide, the record is heavier: 172 hail reports since 2010, 134 of them an inch or larger, across 49 separate storm days, along with 95 thunderstorm wind reports and 9 tornadoes. Fort Cavazos, where several Killeen-area reports are filed, shows up in the record too. On June 10, 2023 its weather station measured a 70 mph wind gust, and golf ball hail broke vehicle windows near the airfield the same day.
Those are the reports people filed, not every roof that took a hit.
Given who owns Killeen's homes, three questions usually come first. Owners want a straight answer on whether the roof needs replacing now, or whether a repair will carry it a few more years. They want to know what insurance is likely to pay on a roof that is not new. And landlords want the work done with as little disruption to tenants as possible.
So our assessment is built to answer those questions in order: the condition of the roof with photos, the repair-or-replace call, and what the documentation can support if a storm caused the damage. The price comes after, in writing.
Tenants have their own stake. A Killeen renter living under a leaking roof wants it fixed quickly and wants to know who is responsible. That answer usually points to the owner, and we work for the owner. When an owner asks, we keep the tenant informed about dates, so the household knows when the crew will arrive and what to move out of the way.
Killeen's recorded hail tends to run smaller than the extreme storms in Bell County's record. Quarter-size to golf ball hail is the common story in the narratives. That sounds less alarming than baseball-size hail, but on an older roof even that size can bruise shingles, knock off granules and dent vents.
The problem is that this kind of damage rarely announces itself. A roof hit by quarter-size hail looks the same from the street the next morning. Nothing drips. Months later a stain shows up on a ceiling, and by then the storm that started it is hard to name. Landlords often hear about it first from a tenant.
Wind does its share. In August 2025, part of the roof was blown off an apartment building on North 2nd Street in Killeen, and the KHLR weather station at Fort Cavazos recorded a 67 mph gust the same day. Earlier reports describe an 18 to 24 inch tree blown down on 18th Street in 2011 and a large section of tree down near North College Street and West Avenue B in March 2023.
That is why we suggest an assessment after any storm with hail or high wind, even when everything looks fine from the yard. Caught early, a lot of this damage is a repair.
A good roof decision on a Killeen house balances three things: what the roof needs, how long you plan to own the home, and what insurance might cover.
If storm damage is confined to one slope and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair keeps money in your pocket. If the damage is spread across the roof, patching one area at a time can cost more over a few years than a single replacement. Matching is the other issue: on a roof that has been up for decades, the original shingle may no longer be made, and new patches stand out from the street. On a house you plan to sell, that matters.
Asphalt shingles are the standard, budget-minded choice. Designer shingles cost more but give a thicker, layered look. Tile and standing seam metal are bigger investments that make most sense for owners planning to stay a long time. If you may sell or move within a few years, we will say so when the cheaper option is the sensible one.
If a storm caused the damage, report it to your insurer and get the roof assessed before you commit to anything. Once the old roof is torn off, nobody can inspect the storm damage again, so the adjuster's visit should come first. Our photos add a dated record of what the storm did.
On an older Killeen roof, the type of coverage in your homeowners policy matters as much as the damage itself. The Texas Department of Insurance explains that replacement cost coverage pays to repair or replace at current prices, while actual cash value coverage pays replacement cost minus depreciation for wear and age (Texas Department of Insurance home insurance guide). In the department's own worked example for a 10-year-old roof, the owner with actual cash value coverage pays more than twice as much out of pocket as the owner with replacement cost coverage.
TDI's advice is to make sure your policy has replacement cost coverage if you want to be fully protected. Check your declarations page before a storm, not after.
Even replacement cost coverage usually pays in two steps. TDI explains that most companies send a first check after the adjuster has seen the damage, for the estimated repair cost minus depreciation and your deductible, then release the depreciation they held back once they receive the bill for the finished job. You usually must complete the repairs within a set period, so ask your adjuster how long you have. If your policy pays actual cash value, the age of your roof will shape what you receive, and it is worth knowing that before you sign any roofing contract.
April is the peak. Of the 134 Bell County hail reports of one inch or larger since 2010, 59 came in April, 36 in May and 18 in March. The fall is not quiet, though: October and November each logged 6, including the 2022 storms that put golf ball and half-dollar hail in Killeen.
Years vary widely. 2022 alone produced 32 of those reports, more than any other year in the record, followed by 2024 with 17 and 2014 and 2023 with 14 each. A roof that came through a quiet year may face a heavy one next.
For a Killeen owner, the practical upshot is a spring habit and a fall check. Have the roof looked at after the April and May storms, when most of the county's damaging hail falls, and again after any fall storm like the ones in October and November 2022. Dated photos from both checks make a later claim far easier to support.
NOAA narratives name a few Killeen locations directly:
Each one is a single measurement from a storm that covered far more ground than one intersection.
With 10,440 units in two- to four-unit buildings, Killeen has a large stock of small rental properties. These buildings come with their own wrinkles: shared driveways, several households to notify, and sometimes an owner who does not live nearby. On a duplex, one roof covers two homes, so a leak on one side is a roof question for both, and both households need the work date.
We handle them the same way as any other job: one assessment, photos, a written estimate and one project manager who coordinates with each household through the schedule you set.
What you do in the days after hail or high wind shapes how easy the rest goes. Write down the date and time the storm hit your street. From the ground, photograph anything you can see: shingles in the yard, a dented gutter, granules piled at the bottom of a downspout, a limb on the roof. Check ceilings and the attic, if you can get into it safely, for fresh stains or damp spots.
Then call your insurer if you think there is damage, and read your policy for how long you have to report it. Book an assessment so the roof is photographed close up while the damage is fresh. If you rent, tell your landlord in writing the same day.
What not to do: climb onto the roof yourself, or sign a contract with someone who knocks on the door that week before you have had a chance to read it and compare.
Repair is the right answer when the damage is local: a few missing shingles after wind, a leaking pipe boot, flashing that has pulled away at one wall. Replacement makes more sense when hail damage appears on every slope, when leaks keep coming back in new places, or when an insurer has approved a full replacement.
When we do put on a new roof, the old material comes off down to the deck so we can check for soft or rotted boards, which no ground-level estimate can promise. Then come new underlayment, flashing, the roofing you chose, and ridge and vent parts.
Whether we repair or replace, a dated record of the roof's condition helps with the next claim. That is what Roof Care Program members get from two inspections a year: a written roof health report with photos at each visit, sealant touch-ups, priority scheduling after storms and preferred repair pricing.
Here is each stage in more detail, so nothing about your Killeen job comes as a surprise, whether you live in the house, rent it out or manage it for someone else.
When you call (214) 766-3669, tell us what you have seen and when. If you or a tenant have photos of a leak or of storm damage, keep them; they help us and your insurer.
Our Central Texas team assesses the roof and photographs the damage. You receive the photos and a written estimate, along with our recommendation. If a claim is involved, the documentation supports it.
Your project manager confirms the crew date, stays in touch during the work and walks the finished roof with you.
Before: an older Killeen roof often carries years of small fixes. A few replaced shingles that do not quite match. A sealant patch around a vent. Granules collecting at the bottom of a downspout after every rain, and a ceiling stain in one bedroom that keeps coming back.
After a well-matched repair, the leak is traced and fixed and the photos show what was done. After a replacement, the patchwork is gone: the roof is one material, one color and one install date, with new underlayment and flashing underneath, and any rotted decking found at tear-off has been replaced rather than covered over.
The paperwork changes too. You hold photos of the old damage, any claim documents, and the details of the work. For an owner who plans to sell, that is an easier conversation with a buyer's inspector. For a landlord, it is one less unknown in the property file.
If you keep the roof under our Roof Care Program, each inspection adds to that record.
Whether you are looking at fresh storm damage, a roof from the 1980s or 1990s, or a rental with a leak a tenant just reported, the first step is the same: a free assessment and a clear answer.
Call (214) 766-3669 any day from 7 am to 6 pm, or send the form and we will call you back. We will come to the property, photograph the roof and give you a written estimate.
SunTex's only office is at 12800 Westridge Blvd, Suite 162, Frisco, TX 75035; Killeen jobs are run by our Central Texas project managers.

Questions Killeen owners ask a roofer
Start by confirming what the roof needs; a free assessment may show that a repair will do. If it is a replacement, standard asphalt shingles cost less than designer shingles, tile or metal. If a storm caused the damage, report it to your insurer before work begins, and check whether your policy pays replacement cost or actual cash value.
It depends on your policy and the cause of the damage, so read what yours covers and excludes. If your policy pays actual cash value, the payout on an older roof is reduced for depreciation; replacement cost coverage pays at current prices minus your deductible. Our photos document the storm damage for your claim.
Generally the owner. Under Section 92.052 of the Texas Property Code, a landlord must make a diligent effort to repair a condition that materially affects the physical health or safety of an ordinary tenant, once the tenant gives notice and is current on rent (Texas Property Code ch. 92). Report a leak to your landlord in writing and keep a copy. If you are the landlord, an assessment soon after the tenant's notice gives you photos and an estimate to act on.
Often enough to plan for. Since 2010, NOAA records 134 Bell County hail reports of one inch or larger across 49 storm days, plus 95 thunderstorm wind reports. In Killeen itself, golf ball hail fell twice in 2022, and an August 2025 storm blew part of the roof off an apartment building on North 2nd Street.
Yes. Repair first if the damage is limited to one area and the rest of the roof is in good shape. Replace if damage is spread across several slopes, leaks keep returning, or the roof is old enough that patches will not match. We tell you which applies after the assessment, and we put a repair in the estimate when that is the honest answer.
Yes. We come to your Killeen home, check the roof, photograph what we find and give you a written estimate at no charge. There is no obligation to hire us afterward. If the roof needs nothing, we will tell you that, and you keep the photos as a dated record of its condition.
