Central Texas Roofing Company Offers Free Inspections Following Hail Storm
Family Friend Roofing is providing complimentary roof inspections across multiple Central Texas communities after a recent hail storm, addressing potential hidden damage that could lead to long-term structural issues.
Following the April 18, 2026 hail storm that brought nickel- to quarter-sized hail to Central Texas, Family Friend Roofing & Construction has deployed inspection teams across Round Rock, Georgetown, and Cedar Park. The company is offering free roof inspections to homeowners who may have been affected by the weather event that also led to the cancellation of the Two Step Inn Festival in Georgetown.
Many homeowners do not notice hail damage right away, as hail can damage a roof's protective surface without visible signs from the ground. When hail strikes asphalt shingles, protective granules are knocked loose, UV exposure begins to break down the shingle, and shingles weaken over time, potentially leading to water intrusion months later. Common signs of hail damage include granules collecting in gutters, soft spots or bruising on shingles, dented vents, flashing, and gutters, cracked tiles or split shingles, and damage to skylights, siding, and fascia.
As a Round Rock-based contractor, Family Friend Roofing is working in multiple communities including Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Leander, Liberty Hill, and Taylor. Their team is walking impacted neighborhoods, scheduling inspections within 24 hours, documenting damage with photos and reports, helping homeowners understand insurance timelines, and providing clear recommendations based on actual findings. The company maintains a permanent local presence in Round Rock, as detailed on their website at https://familyfriendroof.com/contact.
The inspection process is designed to give homeowners clear documentation and straightforward guidance, including scheduling within 24 hours, exterior inspection of gutters, siding, and visible surfaces, full roof assessment by trained inspectors, photo documentation of all findings, written report with recommendations, insurance guidance if damage is present, and transparent pricing if repairs are needed. There are no fees and no obligation to proceed with the service.
After major storms, out-of-state contractors often enter the area for short-term work, which can leave homeowners without long-term support. Family Friend Roofing focuses on a permanent local presence, in-house crews instead of rotating subcontractors, and recognized certifications including RCAT, BBB A-Rated status, and CertainTeed ShingleMaster. This approach ensures accountability beyond the immediate repair period.
Homeowners are encouraged to schedule inspections soon due to insurance timelines, with most inspections completed within the same week and reports typically delivered within 24 hours. The company's services address the critical need for professional assessment following weather events that may cause structural damage not immediately visible to untrained observers.
