Jarrell is a small town on I-35 north of Georgetown that is filling in fast with subdivisions like Sonterra and Cool Water, plus farm properties on the prairie around it.
Jarrell is mostly new. Sonterra, Eastwood at Sonterra and Cool Water are large production-builder subdivisions from the last fifteen years, one- and two-story homes on the flat land east of I-35, built to the minimum roof spec with light shingles and builder-grade ventilation. The original town along the highway and the railroad has older homes from the early 1900s through the 1970s, many under metal, and the farm properties on the county roads toward Schwertner and Bartlett have houses, shops and barns that are almost all metal.
Jarrell is open Blackland Prairie with nothing to break a storm. It is on the same north-tracking hail path as Georgetown and takes straight-line wind at full strength; the tornado that hit the town in 1997 is still how many people here think about weather. Clay soil moves the foundations on older homes and opens gaps at flashing.

Roof replacement, shingles, metal and inspections
New roofs installed to the manufacturer spec, not the builder spec, with the underlayment, flashing and ventilation that make a roof last in Central Texas heat and hail.
The first phases of Sonterra are reaching the age where builder roofs fail on the open prairie, and that is most of our Jarrell replacement work: tear-off to the deck, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield, new flashing, proper ventilation, and an architectural or Class 4 shingle that meets the HOA rules. On the farm properties it is often new metal over old.
Shingle roofing in Jarrell means replacing 2010s builder roofs on the open prairie with a Class 4 shingle nailed in the line, with underlayment and ventilation done right, because the wind here tests every shortcut.
Metal is the standard roof on the farm properties around Jarrell, and we install standing seam on homes and R-panel on shops and barns, and replace worn exposed-fastener roofs on both. Inside the subdivisions, HOA rules usually mean a Class 4 shingle instead.
A free inspection in Jarrell is useful on any Sonterra or Cool Water roof after a storm and on any older home or farm property before purchase. We walk the roof and any outbuildings, check the attic, and give you a photo report.
Wind is the Jarrell repair call. With nothing to slow a front across the prairie, shingles lift and go on subdivision roofs and ridge caps come off metal. We replace what is missing, hand-seal the neighbors, re-screw loose panels, and check the rest of the roof.
Jarrell leaks are wind leaks on exposed Sonterra roofs: lifted courses, ridge caps gone, and water under the shingles. We find the lifted section, replace it, and reseal what we can.
Jarrell takes hail and wind with no cover at all. After a storm we inspect and document with photos, tell you honestly whether it rises to a claim, and work to the approved scope. When storm crews come through Sonterra after an event, get your own inspection before signing anything at the door.
Jarrell wind damage is the most common call we get from the town: Sonterra roofs on the open prairie lose ridge caps and whole courses of shingles in a front. We repair nailed for wind and document the rest for your claim.
Jarrell emergencies are wind across the open prairie lifting shingles off Sonterra roofs and ridge caps off farm buildings. Call, and we tarp at first safe light, photograph the damage for your claim, and do the permanent repair on a written scope.
Jarrell takes hail and wind with nothing in the way. We inspect honestly, document slope by slope, meet the adjuster, and do the replacement to the approved scope.
