What Shapes Your Plan

The price turns on how big and how steep the roof is and which shingle you pick. If a storm did the damage, insurance may cover much of it, and we explain how before you file.

After the Visit You Will Know

Whether the roof needs work and what that work costs, written down. If it needs nothing, you hear that plainly, and the visit costs you nothing.

Your Roof's Year in Hutto

Fall

Fall is the quiet stretch in Hutto, with hail on record in November but rarely. Look for: loose or missing ridge caps before the winter.

Winter

Spring

On May 30, 2024, a 2-inch stone fell in Hutto, the biggest on record there since 2000. Look for: granules gathering at the downspouts.

Summer

Hutto summers run long and hot on a roof, and shingles can be up to 175 degrees, no matter the color.

Why Hutto Homeowners Call Us

Hutto homeowners who call get Frank on the phone and Jake at the house, backed by one main crew since 2014.

Frank Picks Up

When you phone us, the owner answers. One homeowner came to us after a large roofer in the area moved to an automated line and stopped picking up.

Jake Runs the Job

Frank's son Jake looks at your roof and stays with the job until it is done. He points out the hail damage and marks a few hits in chalk so you see it.

The Same Crew

We are not storm chasers. Our main crew does the work, and its crew lead has been with us since 2014, the year Frank opened the doors.

Hutto Roofing Questions

How Did Hutto Get the Hippo?

Hutto's hippo comes from a 1915 local legend. A hippopotamus got loose from a circus train at the depot and got stuck in the mud of Cottonwood Creek. The town itself is named for its railroad depot, Hutto Station, which sat on land the railroad bought from rancher James Emory Hutto in 1876.

Are Most Hutto Homes Single-Family Houses?

Yes, about 93 percent of Hutto's homes are single-family detached houses, per the Census Bureau. Call during business hours and Frank answers the phone himself. Jake comes over to Hutto to check the roof, and nobody charges you for that visit.

What Was the Biggest Hail in Hutto?

The largest stone reported at Hutto since 2000 was 2 inches, on May 30, 2024. A second report that day, about two miles northeast of town, measured 1.75 inches. If your roof has not been looked at since that storm, call Frank. The look is free.

When Does Hutto Get the Most Hail?

April is the hail month in Hutto, with more reports logged since 2000 than every other month put together. May comes next. Spring is the season to watch the roof, and a look after any hail storm costs you nothing.

How Old Are the Houses in Hutto?

The median Hutto home was built in 2010, per the Census Bureau. About half of the homes in town went up in 2010 or later, and only 4 percent before 1990. A young roof still takes hail, so have Jake look it over after a storm comes through.
