Following the April 18, 2026 hail storm that brought nickel- to quarter-sized hail across Central Texas, Family Friend Roofing & Construction has deployed inspection teams in Round Rock, Georgetown, and Cedar Park. The company is offering free roof inspections to homeowners who may have been affected by the storm, which also led to the cancellation of the Two Step Inn Festival in Georgetown.
Many homeowners may not immediately notice damage from the storm. Hail can compromise a roof's protective surface without visible signs from the ground. When hail strikes asphalt shingles, protective granules are knocked loose, exposing the shingle to UV degradation. Over time, shingles weaken, and water intrusion can develop months later. Common signs of hail damage include granules collecting in gutters, soft spots or bruising on shingles, dented vents and flashing, cracked tiles, and damage to skylights, siding, and fascia. Most of these issues require a close inspection on the roof.
Family Friend Roofing, based at 1800 N Mays St STE 107 in Round Rock, is providing inspections in Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Leander, Liberty Hill, and Taylor. This week, their team is walking impacted neighborhoods, scheduling inspections within 24 hours, documenting damage with photos and reports, and helping homeowners understand insurance timelines.
The inspection process includes scheduling within 24 hours, an exterior inspection of gutters and siding, a full roof assessment by trained inspectors, photo documentation, a written report with recommendations, and insurance guidance if damage is present. All inspections are free with no obligation to proceed with repairs.
After major storms, out-of-state contractors often enter the area for short-term work, leaving homeowners without long-term support. Family Friend Roofing focuses on a permanent local presence in Round Rock, with in-house crews instead of rotating subcontractors. The company holds recognized certifications including RCAT, BBB A-Rated status, and CertainTeed ShingleMaster, ensuring accountability beyond immediate repairs.
Homeowners are encouraged to schedule inspections soon due to insurance timelines. To schedule, homeowners can call (512) 975-1599 or visit the company's website at https://familyfriendroof.com/contact. Most inspections are completed within the same week, with reports delivered within 24 hours.
