The Plain Answer for Kendall County
Kendall County sees hail on about 1.8 days a year, fewer than the 5.3 in Bexar County. NOAA has reports on 20 separate days from 2015 through 2025. 10 of the 11 years had a report, and 2018 had none.
The reports cluster. 9 of the 49 came on 3 May 2021, 6 on 27 May 2020 and 5 on 23 March 2025. So the county gets a few real storms rather than steady hail, and a large share of the record came on a single afternoon.

2021 was the peak at 11 reports, with 10 in 2025 close behind. 0 in 2018 and 1 in 2019 make the middle of the chart look empty. Roofs installed in that stretch have still been through every storm since.
42 of 49 reports at one inch or larger is 86 percent. Bexar's share is 82 percent. Kendall's reports are fewer, but when hail is seen here it is usually the size that matters.

A single day producing every large stone says a lot about how hail works. It travels as a band, and the band crossed this county once, hard.

What About Thunderstorm Wind in Kendall County?
Wind is the smaller column but the stronger number. NOAA has 10 Kendall County thunderstorm wind reports, 5 of them in 2017, and the top gust was 78 knots.

Why Does the Date on a Boerne Roof Report Matter?
3 May 2021 is the heaviest hail day in the Kendall County record, with 9 reports. A claim is often filed days or weeks after a storm, and an inspection report with photographs and a date is what ties the damage to a storm.
Red Roan's evaluation report is dated and photographed, and it is written for the homeowner to keep. The Texas Department of Insurance advises photographing damage and keeping receipts before any permanent repair. The evaluation adds the roofer's own record next to yours.
The full process is on the storm damage repair services and free roof evaluation process pages, and the free hail inspection and claim guide walks through the Texas claim steps.

How often does it hail in Kendall County?
About 1.8 days a year. NOAA's Storm Events record shows hail reported on 20 different days in Kendall County from 2015 through 2025, and 10 of the 11 years had at least one report.
What is the biggest hail reported in Kendall County?
2.75 inches, on 3 May 2021. Every one of the five largest stones in the county's record was reported that same day, which is why the date comes up so often in Kendall County claims.
Is Boerne in Kendall County?
Yes. Boerne is the Kendall County seat, and Red Roan Construction is based there. This page counts every NOAA hail and wind report filed under Kendall County, not only reports near the city.
Does hail damage show up right away on a roof?
Not always. Hail can bruise the mat under a shingle or loosen a pipe boot collar without any sign from the driveway. A photographed roof evaluation finds damage that a look from the ground misses.
Does Red Roan Construction check roofs in Kendall County?
Yes. Kendall County is where the company is based, in Boerne. The evaluation is free, the findings go into a photographed written report, and installed work carries a 5-year workmanship warranty.
Where These Numbers Come From
Hail and thunderstorm wind rows come from the NOAA Storm Events Database detail files for 2015 through 2025, filtered to Texas and saved in this site's repository. A report counts for Kendall County when NOAA files it under that county. A hail day is a calendar date with at least one hail report in the county, so the day count is lower than the report count. Hail sizes are the reported stone diameter in inches, and wind speeds are in knots, as NOAA records them. Reports come from spotters, emergency managers, the public and the weather service, so they follow where people are as well as where hail fell. Downloaded 17 October 2026. A recompute script re-reads the saved file and fails the site build checks if a printed number changes.
