Hail Damage Roof Repair in Spicewood, TX

Hail damage roof repair in Spicewood, TX. Inspections on both sides of the Travis–Burnet line, where your storm history depends entirely on which county file somebody searches. Past hail reports for your area are public through the NOAA Storm Prediction Center.

Spicewood Sits on a County Line, and So Does Its Storm Record

The Spicewood 78669 area straddles the Travis and Burnet county line, and reaches toward Blanco. Storm reports are not filed by ZIP code or by town. They are filed by county.

Search the Travis County hail record since 2020 and Spicewood does not appear at all — not once, at any stone size. Search Burnet County and it appears exactly once: 16 March 2023, 0.88-inch hail, logged at 19:40. One entry, sitting in the county file that most people, and a fair number of adjusters, would never think to open for a Spicewood address.

Burnet County Has Been Hammered

That single Spicewood entry sits inside a county record that is anything but quiet. Burnet County carries 86 hail reports across 19 separate days since 2020, and the stone sizes are serious:

• 9 April 2024. 4.25-inch at Oakalla at 18:02, and two 4.00-inch reports at Lake Victor within three minutes of each other. Marble Falls took 2.75-inch twice.
• 5 May 2023. 3.25-inch at the Burnet airport at 18:02, with 2.50-inch bracketing it on either side.
• 22 March 2021. Two separate 3.00-inch reports at Lake Buchanan, five minutes apart.
• 1 May 2025. 2.50-inch at the Burnet airport, twice, then 2.75-inch at Lake Buchanan.

If your property is on the Burnet side, that is the record that describes your weather. If it is on the Travis side, it is still the record of storms that crossed the line minutes before or after they reached you.

Metal Roofs and the Cosmetic Damage Question

Hill Country building favors standing seam, and Spicewood has a great deal of it. Metal behaves differently from composition under hail: it dents rather than bruises, and a dented panel can be entirely watertight and still be damaged.

This is where the policy language does the deciding. Many policies covering metal roofs carry a cosmetic damage exclusion or endorsement that treats denting which does not affect function differently from functional damage. Read that section before anyone climbs up, and make sure the inspection records both categories separately — functional damage at seams, fasteners, flashing and penetrations, and cosmetic denting across the panels, documented as distinct findings rather than lumped together.

Hail Damage Roof Repair in Spicewood: Long Driveways, More Than One Roof

Spicewood is twenty-eight miles out from our Cameron Road office, on acreage, and most properties out here carry more than one structure — house, shop, barn, guest quarters, each with its own roof and often its own material and install year.

We inspect and document every structure on the property. A claim built around the house alone leaves the rest of what the storm hit sitting uncovered.

After a Hail Storm in Spicewood: What to Check First

Most Spicewood homeowners find out about hail from the neighbors or the news. These ground-level checks help you decide whether your own roof needs an inspection.

• Gutters, downspouts and roof vents. Fresh dents in soft metal are the easiest way to judge stone size.
• Granules at the downspouts. A pile of dark, sand-like grit after a storm means shingles lost some of their surface.
• AC condenser fins, window screens and painted trim. Look for dings or spatter marks on the side of the house the storm came from.
• The storm date and time. Write it down. You can compare it with Burnet and Travis County entries in the NOAA Storm Prediction Center reports and with the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio office.
• Ceiling stains or attic drips after the next rain, which can show up weeks later.

Please stay off the roof yourself. Ground photos are enough to start the conversation, and we photograph every slope during the inspection.

Owens Corning Shingles Rated for Hail

For Spicewood roofs that need replacing after hail, we typically compare Owens Corning Duration STORM with Duration FLEX. Both meet UL 2218 Class 4, the highest impact rating that test gives. Some Texas insurers offer a premium discount for Class 4 roofs, so it is worth asking your agent before you choose. The Texas Department of Insurance also has a short guide to replacing your roof after a storm.
