### What We See Most Around Here

- A ridge cap or two torn loose by a gusty afternoon wind.
- Loose shingles scattered across the driveway after a storm.
- Wet spots on the ceiling after a long and rainy week.

## What Happens When You Call

Leander is 15.8 miles from our shop, and the steps are simple: call, Frank answers, and Jake comes out.

### Worth a Call When You Notice

- Shingles or caps lying in the yard or the drive.
- A water stain overhead after a rainy spell.
- Hail came down and no one has checked the roof.
- A salesman at the door asking you to sign before a look.

1. 1 Call Frank. The owner answers our phone. Our contact page has a form if you would rather send a note.
2. 2 Choose a Day. Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM. Saturday repairs are booked by appointment.
3. 3 Jake Inspects. Jake checks the full roof, slope by slope, and chalks every hail hit.
4. 4 The Price, in Writing. You see a written price before any work, and there is no money due to start.

### What Shapes Your Plan

> Leander asks for no permit to reroof a house. Your price comes from the size of the roof, how steep it is, and the shingle you choose. When a storm did the damage, a claim may cover much of it, and we go through that with you before you file.

### After the Visit You Will Know

> Whether the roof needs work, what kind, and what it will cost, all in writing. A roof in good shape gets a plain answer from Jake and no bill for the trip.

## Your Roof's Year in Leander

May has brought 23 of Leander's 47 hail reports since 2000, more than any other month of the year.

> Leander has logged 3 fall hail reports since 2000, 2 in November and 1 in October. Look for: loose tabs and ridge caps that lift in the wind.

> The 2021 winter storm left 8 inches of snow just west of Leander, the Weather Service logged. Look for: a fresh ceiling stain after the thaw.

> Leander logged 16 hail reports on May 16, 2025, with stones up to 3 inches across. Look for: dark, bruised patches on the shingles.

> Leander summer heat bakes a roof day after day, so our crew wraps up by noon. Look for: shingle tabs that curl up or crack.

## Why Leander Homeowners Call Us

Leander homeowners who call Ruddy's Roofing get Frank on the line and Jake at the house, with one crew lead since 2014.

> The owner answers the phone himself. One homeowner found us after a large roofer nearby went to an automated system and nobody picked up anymore.

> Frank's son Jake comes to look at the roof and then runs the job. Each hail strike he finds gets a chalk mark, so nothing is hidden from you.

> We are not a storm crew passing through. Our main crew does the work, and its lead has been with Frank since 2014, the first year of the business.

### From Our Google Reviews

## Leander Roofing Questions

**How Big Was the 2025 Hail Storm in Leander?**
The largest stone was 3 inches, about three miles west-northwest of Leander, on May 16, 2025. The federal storm record logged 16 hail reports at Leander that day. That 3-inch stone is the biggest reported at Leander since 2000, out of 47 hail reports in all. If your roof has not been checked since, the look is free.

**Do I Need a Permit to Reroof in Leander?**
No, the City of Leander lists re-roofing among the jobs that need no permit. Contractors do have to register with the city before any permit is issued for other work. Cedar Park also asks for no permit to replace a roof covering, while Georgetown requires one for any reroof.

**How Far Is Ruddy's Roofing From Leander?**
Leander City Hall is 15.8 miles by road from our shop at 1510 Merrell Cove in Round Rock. The drive takes about 25 minutes without traffic. Frank takes the call himself, and Jake drives out to Leander to look at the roof at no cost to you.

**When Does Leander Get the Most Hail?**
May is the peak month for hail in Leander, with 23 of the 47 reports logged since 2000. April is next with 10, then June with 6. Late spring is when to keep an eye on the roof, and a look after any hail storm costs you nothing.

**Can I Take Down a Tree Near My Roof in Leander?**
Yes, a Leander homeowner can remove a tree with no permit once the house is complete and occupied. If the tree stood in the front yard, you may need to plant a replacement to meet the city's landscape rule. Check with the city if you are not sure which rule applies to your lot.
