Roof Inspections in Georgetown, TX: When and What

NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 58 hail reports within 10 miles of Georgetown from 2015 through 2024. Large hail, 1.75 inches or more, fell nearby in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023. That is four of the ten years. If your roof has not been inspected since 2019, it may have been hit several times without a record.

Half of the homes in Georgetown were built before 2008 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). At about 18 years, a roof is often in good shape overall, so an inspection is mostly about catching storm damage and small wear points before they leak. That is the cheapest time to find them.

Buyers should pay attention too. A roof that looks neat from the curb may have been hit in more than one of those years. Asking the seller for past inspection reports and repair invoices tells you a lot.

If the report shows minor issues, a targeted roof repair in Georgetown is usually enough. If it shows widespread hail damage, you will have photos and a written estimate to take to your insurer. GemSco offers free estimates and is fully licensed and insured. See our roof inspection service and read what a roof inspection after hail includes.

Keep every report in one folder with the date, the photos and any invoices for work done. Over the years that folder becomes the history of your roof. It helps when you sell, when you compare estimates and when a storm raises the question of what was already there before. A roof with a clean record is easier to insure, easier to sell and easier to plan for.
