115 mph three-second gust, ice barrier not required — both verified in the code Waxahachie adopted in June 2024. The permit fee, however, sits in a chapter the city does not publish, so we confirm it rather than guess.

Specified to Waxahachie's adopted 115 mph three-second gust, with the fastener schedule, starter course and ridge and rake detailing that number implies.
UL 2218 Class 4 products. A trained spotter measured 3.75-inch hail 2.1 miles from town — the best-documented close-in giant hail in the county. Many Texas carriers discount for Class 4, which is worth pricing first.
On the older housing around the square, the decking condition, ventilation balance and whether flashing was reused last time are the real job — and none of it is visible from the kerb or from a satellite image.
Standing seam on whole roofs and accent sections, with panel, clip and flashing detailing engineered rather than assumed. On a visible downtown-area roof the design guidelines may apply, and we check first.
Older Waxahachie houses carry porch roofs and additions under 2:12 where an asphalt shingle will not hold. Those get a proper membrane flashed into the steep-slope field.
Waxahachie submits permits through its online portal. We confirm the current fee with Building and Community Services rather than quoting a figure from a chapter the city does not publish.
Waxahachie runs old and new side by side. A 1920s house near the square and a 2015 subdivision roof are different problems entirely, and only one of them is a simple job. Neither is assessable from above.
How much decking is included, what happens if we find more, what flashing is being replaced rather than reused, what ventilation is specified, and how the low-slope sections are handled.
Waxahachie's fee schedule lives in Chapter 11 of the Code of Ordinances and is not publicly readable. We get the current figure from the city and submit through the CSS portal rather than printing a number that might be wrong on your invoice.
Nothing opened wider than we can dry in the same day, deck repairs photographed before they disappear, manufacturer warranty registered, and the photographic record handed over at closeout.
Dimensional, UL Class A, specified to Waxahachie's adopted 115 mph. The standard across both the older core and the newer subdivisions.
A reinforced mat tested to UL 2218 Class 4, in a county where a trained spotter measured 3.75-inch hail two miles from town. Frequently eligible for a Texas carrier premium discount worth pricing before you decide.
Porch roofs, sleeping porches and additions below about 2:12 on Waxahachie's older housing, given a proper membrane rather than a shingle that will not hold on that pitch.
Written, on our installation, separate from the manufacturer's material warranty. Our address has not changed since 2019.
On qualifying architectural and impact-rated shingles, subject to installation to the published specification — including the ventilation requirements most denied claims turn on.
We come back and check sealant, flashing, boots and ridge before your first full storm season has passed.

115 mph three-second gust, 76 mph fastest mile, with ice barrier underlayment not required — both verified from the NCTCOG regional fill-in of Table R301.2(1) that Waxahachie adopted. The city adopted the 2021 International Codes by Ordinance 3505, passed 20 May 2024 and effective 1 June 2024.
We confirm it with the city rather than publishing a figure. Waxahachie's fee schedule sits in Chapter 11, Section 11-1 of the Code of Ordinances, and that document is not publicly readable through any route we could access. We would rather get the current number from Building and Community Services than print one that turns out wrong on your invoice. Permits go through the city's CSS online portal.
We confirm with the city before scheduling. Waxahachie's noise chapter could not be retrieved, so we will not state construction hours we cannot source. Neighbouring cities vary widely — some ban Sunday work entirely — so assuming would not be safe.
Not as a code requirement — Waxahachie's adopted table answers the ice barrier question No. We still recommend a self-adhering membrane in valleys and around penetrations on most roofs, because that is where leaks actually start in North Texas. But it is a recommendation and an upgrade, not a code citation, and we will not present it as one.
Well documented, and worse than the county's reputation. A trained spotter measured 3.75-inch hail 2.1 miles from town — the best-documented close-in giant hail in Ellis County. On the wind side, 81 mph was measured in Waxahachie itself on 11 April 2011, and the Midlothian AWOS 4.8 miles out recorded a 105 mph gust on 26 December 2015 as a tornado was beginning.
Waxahachie is a mixed-stock city — genuinely old housing in the core and new subdivisions on the edges. On the older houses expect several previous coverings' worth of fastener damage, mixed or board decking in places, ventilation designed for a house without air conditioning, and at least one porch or addition section below 2:12 where a shingle does not belong. We walk the deck and photograph it before pricing.
The case here is stronger than most people assume, because the giant-hail record is real rather than anecdotal. Many Texas carriers discount premiums for a UL 2218 Class 4 product — call your carrier, get the actual discount on your policy, and we will show you the price difference so you can weigh it yourself.
Waxahachie adopted the Downtown Waxahachie Design Guidelines in 2011 to evaluate new construction, redevelopment and restoration projects in the downtown district. On a roof visible from the street in that district we confirm the review requirement with the city before anything is ordered rather than assuming either way.
Free inspection, honest scope, real warranty. Most service work scheduled within 24–48 hours.
