Following the April 18, 2026 hail storm, 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.

The storm brought nickel- to quarter-sized hail and led to the cancellation of the Two Step Inn Festival in Georgetown. While the weather event has passed, the impact on residential roofs may not be immediately visible.

What damage can a quarter-sized hailstorm cause to a roof in Round Rock?

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
• 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
• Damage to skylights, siding, and fascia

Most of these issues require a close inspection on the roof.

Where is Family Friend Roofing providing inspections after the April 18 storm?

As a Round Rock-based contractor on N Mays Street, the company is working in:

• Round Rock
• Georgetown
• Cedar Park
• Leander
• Liberty Hill
• 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
• Providing clear recommendations based on actual findings

What happens during a free roof inspection with Family Friend Roofing?

The inspection process is designed to give homeowners clear documentation and straightforward guidance:

1. Scheduling within 24 hours
2. Exterior inspection of gutters, siding, and visible surfaces
3. Full roof assessment by trained inspectors
4. Photo documentation of all findings
5. Written report with recommendations
6. Insurance guidance if damage is present

Why choose a local Round Rock roofer after a hail storm?

After major storms, out-of-state contractors often enter the area for short-term work. This can leave homeowners without long-term support.

Family Friend Roofing focuses on:

• A permanent local presence in Round Rock, you can run into our team at countless local events like the Two Step Festival.
• In-house crews instead of rotating subcontractors
• Recognized certifications including RCAT, BBB A-Rated status, and CertainTeed ShingleMaster

This approach ensures accountability beyond the immediate repair.

Family Friend Roofing and Construction in Round Rock, TX donated a new roof to a local veteran this holiday season. Inspired by community partnerships including USA Cares and ShareTheWill Foundation, the initiative reflects the company’s commitment to serving veterans across Central Texas and Dallas, with future nominations now planned.

On November 18, a Central Texas veteran named Rico received news that would change his holiday season, a brand-new roof fully donated by Family Friend Roofing and Construction.

The Round Rock-based roofing company stepped forward after learning that the same veteran had recently received a power wheelchair through community partner, ShareTheWill Foundation. WA simple morning call sparked a defining moment in the company's mission.

Why Did Family Friend Roofing Decide to Donate a Roof to a Veteran?

“When we launched, we knew giving back would be a pillar of our company,” said Lindsay Shapee, co-owner of Family Friend Roofing and Construction. “It’s who we are.”

Lindsay, along with co-owners Josh Bovino and Aaron Bernard, built the company with service at its core. While early community buy-in developed gradually beyond the Round Rock Chamber and the Five Point Board of Realtors, one value quickly unified the leadership team, supporting military members and veterans.

During a team call, Josh shared what Lindsay now fondly calls “another bright idea.”

“He said, ‘I really want to donate a roof to a veteran for Christmas. How can we make that happen?’”

What followed was weeks of coordination, conversations, and careful vetting to ensure the right family would receive the support.

How Did Local Organizations Help Make This Roof Donation Possible?

The Family Friend Roof and Construction team reached out to Matt Maples of USA Cares, a nonprofit dedicated to assisting post-9/11 veterans and their families. Though the process required thoughtful coordination, the introduction led to Rico, a veteran who already received assistance in the form of a power wheelchair through community advocates including Will Williams and ShareTheWill Foundation.

Together, these organizations created a moment bigger than any one company.

Family Friend Roofing coordinated a surprise reveal at Café Java, where Rico learned about the roof donation alongside community members and even Santa Claus. The event was both practical and deeply personal.

“Being part of this was more than we asked for,” Lindsay said. “Watching our partners connect with Rico, hear his story, and truly understand his journey changed us.”

What Does This Roof Donation Mean for the Round Rock Community?

For Family Friend Roofing, this initiative was not just about shingles and decking. It was about connection.

Serving homeowners across Central Texas and Dallas, the company specializes in residential roof repair and replacement, storm restoration, and insurance claim guidance. Leadership says community impact is equally foundational.

Lindsay is active with the Five Point Board of Realtors, and the company is engaged with the Round Rock Chamber, strengthening ties with local business leaders and families throughout Williamson County.

“Real change happens when people connect beyond the surface,” Lindsay shared. “Telling stories, sharing time, and building relationships, that’s what brings a team closer.”

Will Family Friend Roofing Donate More Roofs in the Future?

Yes.

The company plans to accept nominations for future veteran roof donations as it continues to grow. The goal is to expand the initiative annually, creating a lasting tradition of service during the holiday season and beyond.

This first roof marks the beginning of what leadership hopes will become a sustained giving program across the regions they serve.
