Local data
Sources: NOAA Storm Events (Harris County); OpenFEMA declarations (Harris County); U.S. Census ACS 2019 to 2023; NOAA SPC reports; NCEI 1991 to 2020 normals. Updated October 2026.
NOAA's storm records show 137 hail events of one inch or larger in the county since 2015, with the largest hail measuring 2.75 inches. The record also lists 38 tornadoes and 14 damaging wind events. Hail of that size can bruise shingles and loosen the granules that shield them, and the damage often shows up as leaks months later.
After any hailstorm, call for an inspection so a roof check happens before the next rain.
By Census estimates for 2019 to 2023, the median home in Houston was built in 1981, and 48% of homes date from before 1980. The county-wide share is 38%, so the metro skews older than the area around it. An older house is more likely to have a roof near the end of its life, with worn flashing and aging sealant around vents and chimneys.
If your home is from that era, ask for a roof inspection and a written estimate that covers repair and replacement.
The 1991 to 2020 climate normals at the Houston port station show about 109 days a year with a high of 90 degrees or more and roughly 54 inches of rain. Long, hot stretches dry out shingles and cause cracking, and heavy rain finds every weak seam. Snow is not a concern here, and freezing days average under five a year.
Check your attic for damp spots or daylight after a heavy rain, and call if you see either.
Texas has no statewide roofing license, so ask the contractor for a certificate of insurance. The Texas Department of Insurance is the state office to check for related questions.
