Hail inspections in Spicewood — Barton Creek Lakeside, Briarcliff and the acreage off Highway 71, on both sides of the county line.
Skywall Construction · Hail Damage Roof Repair in Spicewood, TX · Free inspections, always
Hail damage roof repair, Spicewood, TX. Inspections on both sides of the Travis–Burnet line, where your storm history depends entirely on which county file somebody searches.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
