Pflugerville Roofing Company

That storm did not stop at Pflugerville. NOAA's records for the same day show hail up to four inches in Round Rock, up to three inches across northern and central Austin, and 2.5 inch hail in western Georgetown. NOAA's narrative puts the hail damage from the whole storm complex at about $700 million across Texas. If your roof has not been looked at since then and you have not filed a claim, talk to your insurer about whether a claim is still possible under your policy, and have the roof photographed now so you know what is there.

We photograph each problem we find and walk you through the pictures. On a hail-damaged roof that typically means individual hits on shingles, dents in metal, and the condition of the flashing and vents. On an aging roof it can mean cracked or curling shingles, worn granules and sealant that has pulled away. If we find nothing wrong, the photos show that too, and you keep them.

The pictures are yours to use as you see fit. Show them to your insurer, to a family member who knows roofs, or to another contractor if you want a second estimate. An estimate that depends on you taking a roofer's word for what is up there is harder to check than one that comes with the evidence attached, and we would rather be checked.

We recommend repair when the damage is limited to one area: a lifted course of shingles, a cracked pipe boot, a single leaking valley. Replacement is the better choice when damage is spread across several slopes, when patches would not match the faded shingles around them, when leaks keep returning in new places, or when your insurer has approved a full replacement. On a replacement, the old roofing comes off down to the deck, which is the only point where soft or rotted decking shows itself, and new underlayment, flashing and roofing go on after the deck is sound.

Texas law puts insurers on a clock too. Under Chapter 542 of the Insurance Code, an insurer generally has 15 days after it receives notice of a claim to acknowledge it, begin its investigation and request what it needs from you. Once it has everything it asked for, it generally has 15 business days to accept or reject the claim in writing, and if it cannot decide in that time it must tell you why it needs more (Texas Insurance Code Chapter 542). Surplus lines insurers run on longer timelines. Keep a note of the date you reported the claim, and keep copies of what you send.

Hail gets the headlines, but Pflugerville's wind record runs through the gaps between hail storms. On January 25, 2012, the National Weather Service investigated damage to several businesses and warehouse buildings near the Pflugerville ISD bus barn, close to Crystal Bend Drive and Immanuel Road, and put it down to straight-line gusts estimated above 60 mph. On May 28, 2017, gusts estimated at 60 mph knocked down a fence near Dearing Elementary School. On May 24, 2022, estimated 60 mph gusts brought down tree limbs in the city, and on May 10, 2026, a large snapped limb was reported in Pflugerville.

None of those days produced the kind of hail that sends a whole street to its insurer. Each one could still lift shingle tabs and break seals on an older roof, and lifted tabs caught early are often a repair job. If a windy night left shingles or pieces of ridge cap in your yard, that is worth an assessment even when no hail fell.

The 2012 damage near the bus barn is a reminder that Pflugerville's roofs are not all on houses. We roof commercial and multi-family properties as well as homes. A business owner or property manager gets the same approach a homeowner does: photographs of the existing condition before any price, a written estimate and one project manager who coordinates the work with whoever runs the building. Where an association manages several buildings, we match the approved specification across all of them so the property looks consistent when the work is done.
