Why timing matters in Pflugerville
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 86 hail reports within 10 miles of Pflugerville from 2015 through 2024. Large hail, 1.75 inches or more, fell nearby in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. That is four years in a row. If your roof was last inspected before 2021, it has been through all of them without a record.
Roof age adds to it. Half of the homes in Pflugerville were built before 2004 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024), so many first roofs are around 22 years old. Older shingles crack more easily under hail, and the parts around them, like pipe boots and flashing, are near the end of their service.
About 70 percent of homes here are owner occupied. For owners, a yearly inspection with photos is a simple habit that keeps small issues small and builds a record of the roof over time.
When to call for one
Within days of any storm with hail you could hear.
Before listing a home for sale.
During the option period when buying.
Before adding solar panels.
When you see granules in the gutters or a new ceiling stain.
Once a year as routine, ideally before storm season.
When a neighbor on your street is getting a new roof after a storm.
How a thorough inspection runs
Exterior first
Gutters, downspouts, siding and soft metals are checked for dents that show hail size and direction.
Each slope
Shingles are checked for bruises, cracks, granule loss and lifted edges. See how to identify hail damage on asphalt shingles.
Openings
Flashing, pipe boots, vents and skylights get a close look.
Attic
Stains, damp insulation, daylight and ventilation are checked.
Findings
Photos and a plain written summary, with an estimate if work is needed.
What the report should tell you
Condition
How the roof is holding up overall, slope by slope.
Storm damage
Any hail or wind damage, with photos and locations.
Wear items
Boots, sealants and flashing that need attention soon.
Next steps
Repair, replace or monitor, with the reasons explained.
Photo record
Dated pictures you can keep and share with a buyer, an insurer or a future contractor.
From inspection to action
Small findings usually lead to a targeted roof repair in Pflugerville. Widespread hail damage points toward a claim conversation and possibly a replacement. Either way, you have photos and a written estimate to work with. Our post on what a roof inspection after hail includes has more detail.
Keep each report in one place with its photos and any invoices. In a city with repeat hail, that file is what lets you show what the roof looked like before and after a given storm. It also helps when you sell, since buyers and their inspectors trust a roof with a clear history. And it makes planning easier: you can see a replacement coming instead of being surprised by it after the next big storm rolls through.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my Pflugerville roof inspected?
Once a year is a good baseline, and again after any storm with hail or strong wind. With large hail recorded nearby four years in a row, skipping inspections means damage can pile up without a record. Regular checks also make it easier to show when damage happened.
What is the difference between a home inspection and a roof inspection?
A home inspector covers the whole house and may look at the roof from a ladder or the ground. A roofer walks each slope, checks flashing and decking up close and photographs hail marks. For an older roof or after storms, a dedicated roof inspection gives you much more detail.
Can I go up on the roof myself to check for hail?
It is safer not to. Roofs are steep and slick, and hail bruises are hard to spot without experience. You can check the ground, gutters and attic yourself. Leave the roof walk to a crew with proper fall protection and the training to read the damage.
