Following the April 18, 2026 hail storm that brought nickel- to quarter-sized hail and led to the 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 damage from such storms may not be immediately visible.
According to the company, many homeowners do not notice damage right away. 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, shingles weaken over time, 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, flashing, and gutters, cracked tiles or split shingles, and damage to skylights, siding, and fascia. Most of these issues require a close inspection on the roof.
As a Round Rock-based contractor on N Mays Street, the company is working 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, helping homeowners understand insurance timelines, and providing clear recommendations based on actual findings.
The inspection process is designed to give homeowners clear documentation and straightforward guidance. It includes scheduling within 24 hours, an exterior inspection of gutters, siding, and visible surfaces, a full roof assessment by trained inspectors, photo documentation of all findings, 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 focuses on 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 the immediate repair.
Homeowners are encouraged to schedule inspections soon due to insurance timelines. They can contact the company by phone at (512) 975-1599, online at https://familyfriendroof.com/contact, or visit the office at 1800 N Mays St STE 107, Round Rock, TX 78664. Most inspections are completed within the same week, and reports are typically delivered within 24 hours.
