## Why Round Rock Roofs Take a Beating

Round Rock roofs take hail, wind and summer heat, and 47 percent of the homes here were built between 1990 and 2009. The median Round Rock home was built in 2002, so a lot of roofs in town are old enough to be on their second set of shingles.

### What We See Most Around Here

- Ridge caps blown off. The caps along the peak come loose in the wind and need replacing.
- Shingles in the yard after a wind storm, which means there is a bare spot on the roof.
- Hail bruises. Each strike leaves a dark spot where the granules came off and bruises the mat under it.
- Water spots on the ceiling after a long rain. When you call, tell us where they are and how big.

## What Happens When You Call

In Round Rock, Frank answers the phone, Jake comes out to look, and you get a written number with no money to start.

### Worth a Call When You Notice

- Shingles or ridge caps lying in the yard after a wind storm.
- A stain on the ceiling after a week of rain.
- A hail storm came through and you are not sure what it did.
- Somebody knocked on your door after a storm with an agreement to sign.

1. 1 You Call, Frank Answers. Frank picks up the phone himself. You can also send the form on our contact page.
2. 2 We Set a Time. Monday through Friday, 8 to 6. Saturday repairs are by appointment.
3. 3 Jake Comes Out. Jake walks the roof and marks every hail strike he finds in chalk.
4. 4 Your Call. A written number if the roof needs work, and no money to start the job.

### What Shapes Your Plan

> The number depends on the size and pitch of the roof and the shingle you pick. If a storm did the damage, your insurance may cover most of it, and we walk you through that before you file.

### After the Visit You Will Know

> Whether the roof needs work, what it needs, and what it costs, in writing. If nothing is wrong, we say so, and you owe nothing for the visit.

## Your Roof's Year in Round Rock

September has brought more hail reports at Round Rock than any other month, so fall is no time to stop watching the roof.

> September brings the most Round Rock hail reports, and a 4-inch stone fell just north of town in 2023. Look for: granules washing out of the downspouts.

> In the 2021 winter storm, the Weather Service measured 7 inches of snow at Round Rock in one day. Look for: a stain on the ceiling after the thaw.

> Spring storms bring hail and wind, and a 4-inch stone was also reported at Round Rock on May 14, 2008. Look for: shingles in the yard after a storm.

> Summer sun bakes the shingles day after day, and in the heat we finish roof work by noon. Look for: shingles curling or cracking at the corners.

## Why Round Rock Homeowners Call Us

Round Rock homeowners get the owner on the phone, his son on the roof, and one main crew since 2014.

> When you call, you get Frank, not a call center. One homeowner called after a big company in town went automated and nobody would pick up.

> Jake, Frank's son, comes out to look at the roof and runs the job. He walks the whole roof and circles any hail strikes in chalk.

> We are not stormers, and we only use our main crew. The same crew lead has been with us since 2014, the year Frank started the company.

### From Our Google Reviews

> This company installed the roof on our house a couple years before we bought it in 2023. I just have to say this roof passed our inspection with flying colors.

## Round Rock Roofing Questions

**Do I Need a Permit to Reroof a House in Round Rock?**
No, the City of Round Rock does not require a permit for a residential reroof. The city does require drip edge along the roof edges. If the job changes the roof itself, not just the shingles, that takes a residential remodel permit. Georgetown and Elgin both require a permit for a reroof, so the rule depends on which city your house is in.

**Do You Work on Both Sides of Round Rock?**
Yes. Round Rock sits in two counties, Williamson and Travis, and we work in both. We are based in Round Rock and work Travis, Williamson, Bastrop and Hays counties. If you are not sure whether we come to your street, call and ask. Frank answers and will tell you straight either way.

**How Big Was the 2023 Hail Storm in Round Rock?**
The largest stone was 4 inches, reported about two miles north of Round Rock on September 24, 2023. That night the federal storm record logged 63 hail reports across Travis, Williamson, Hays and Bastrop counties. Only one other storm since 2000 brought stones that big to Round Rock, on May 14, 2008. If nobody has checked your roof since then, the look is free.

**When Does Round Rock Get the Most Hail?**
September has brought more hail reports at Round Rock than any other month since 2000. The federal storm record lists 55 hail reports starting at Round Rock from 2000 through 2025. Hail can bruise a shingle without leaving a mark you can see from the ground, so have us look after a storm.

**Is Ruddy's Roofing Really Based in Round Rock?**
Yes. Ruddy's Roofing is based in Round Rock, at 1510 Merrell Cove, and has been in business since 2014. When you call, you get Frank, the owner, not a call center. His son Jake comes out to look at the roof and runs the job with our main crew.
