Family Friend Roofing Offers Free Storm Damage Inspections After Central Texas Hail Storm

Following the April 18, 2026 hail storm that brought nickel- to quarter-sized hail and forced cancellation of the Two Step Inn Festival in Georgetown, 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, emphasizing that hail damage is often not immediately visible from the ground.

Hail can compromise a roof's protective surface without obvious signs. When hail strikes asphalt shingles, protective granules are knocked loose, exposing the shingle to UV radiation. 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 and siding. Most of these issues require a close inspection on the roof.

As a Round Rock-based contractor at 1800 N Mays St STE 107, Family Friend Roofing is working in 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 free 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, insurance guidance if damage is present, and transparent pricing if repairs are needed. There are no fees and no obligation to proceed.

After major storms, out-of-state contractors often enter the area for short-term work, leaving homeowners without long-term support. Family Friend Roofing emphasizes a permanent local presence in Round Rock, in-house crews instead of rotating subcontractors, and recognized certifications including RCAT, BBB A-Rated status, and CertainTeed ShingleMaster. This approach ensures accountability beyond immediate repairs.

Homeowners are encouraged to schedule inspections soon due to insurance timelines. To schedule, call (512) 975-1599 or visit the online contact page at https://familyfriendroof.com/contact. Most inspections are completed within the same week, and reports are typically delivered within 24 hours.
