Your Roof's Year in Hutto
April has brought 13 of Hutto's 19 hail reports since 2000, more than every other month put together.
Fall
Fall is the quiet stretch in Hutto, with one November hail report since 2000. Look for: loose or missing ridge caps before the winter.
Winter
Hutto has logged a March hail report too, so late winter can still bring a storm. Look for: a ceiling stain after a cold, wet week.
Spring
On May 30, 2024, a 2-inch stone fell in Hutto, one of two reports there that day. Look for: granules gathering at the downspouts.
Summer
Hutto summers run long and hot on the shingles, and our crew finishes roof work by noon. Look for: shingles curling at the edges.
Why Hutto Homeowners Call Us
Hutto homeowners who call get Frank on the phone and Jake at the house, backed by one main crew since 2014.
Frank Picks Up
When you phone us, the owner answers. One homeowner came to us after a large roofer in the area moved to an automated line and stopped picking up.
Jake Runs the Job
Frank's son Jake looks at your roof and stays with the job until it is done. He circles each hail strike in chalk so you see what he found.
The Same Crew
We are not storm chasers. Our main crew does the work, and its crew lead has been with us since 2014, the year Frank opened the doors.
