Jonestown has taken direct hits from wind. On May 23, 2015, a National Weather Service survey found an EF-0 tornado with peak winds estimated at 85 mph. It touched down near FM 1431, damaged a school and caused considerable tree damage in the Indian Hills subdivision. On June 9, 2019, a trained spotter reported 3-inch tree limbs down and roof damage just northeast of Jonestown.
Falling limbs and strong gusts are hard on shingles, and the damage isn't always visible from the yard. Check for:
The City of Jonestown lists new roofs among the work that requires a building permit. The city also says contractors who work inside city limits must be registered with the city, usually with a current certificate of insurance. The city charges no fee for that registration. For homes, Jonestown adopted the 2021 International Residential Code, effective January 9, 2025.
Questions go to the city's permitting office at permitting@jonestowntx.gov or 512.267.0359. If your neighborhood has an HOA or deed restrictions, check its rules before you change roof material or color.
Inspection comes first. We get on the roof, take 100+ photos and walk you through what we found. If a repair fixes the problem, that's what we recommend. If replacement is the better call, the photos show you why.
Your price is based on the roof's real size, pitch and materials, and you get it in writing. Crews clean the jobsite before they leave. New roofs carry a workmanship warranty that lasts as long as the shingle manufacturer's warranty; repairs are not covered by it. See our warranty page for details. We hold a 5.0 Google rating from 50+ reviews, which you can read on our reviews page.
After a storm, we inspect your roof and photo-document any damage. We write an estimate and can meet your adjuster on site to walk through it. Decisions about the claim stay between you and your insurance company. If there's no storm damage, we tell you that.

Often, yes. Wind and limb damage is sometimes limited to a few shingles or one section of flashing. We photograph the damage, show you what's affected and recommend a repair when a repair will hold. When the damage is spread across the roof, we show you the photos and explain why replacement makes more sense.
