Replacing a Roof in Mission
Mission began in 1907, when John J. Conway and J. W. Holt bought the 17,000-acre La Lomita Ranch and sold it off in tracts. The name comes from La Lomita chapel, built by the Oblates; the post office became "Mission" in 1908 because Texas already had a Lomita. The city incorporated in 1910 and now counts about 88,992 residents.
Replacing a roof in Mission usually means a permit from City Hall, a tear-off, and a choice between shingles and metal. The inspection comes first, so that choice rests on what your deck actually looks like.
Homes and Roofs in Mission
The Census puts Mission's median owner home value at $175,700, above Pharr, San Juan, TX, Alamo, TX and the City of Hidalgo. About 71.4% of homes are owner-occupied.
Higher values often mean owners ask about upgrades such as metal or Class 4 shingles. No public data shows which roof types Mission homes have, so expect your roofer to list your current material and layers in the bid. Mission CISD and Sharyland ISD both serve the city.
Roof Services in Mission
- Whole-roof replacement. Tear-off, decking repairs where needed, new underlayment, flashing and roofing, under a Mission permit.
- Hail and storm claims. Mission has taken golf-ball hail. A roofer records the dents and prices the work; your insurer decides the claim with you.
- Metal roofing. Compare the bid against architectural shingles before you choose.
- Asphalt shingles. Standard architectural or Class 4 impact-resistant, which suits a hail-prone town but isn't required.
- Leak repair. After heavy rain, a single bad flashing joint can explain the stain. Ask whether a repair covers it.
Hail and Wind in Mission
On March 29, 2012, NWS logged golf-ball hail at Fairway and Bryan, with winds blowing parts of roofs off, and later large hail and flying sheet metal. On March 26, 2015, hail of about 1.5 inches fell again. NWS also reported stones larger than 2 inches around Mission and McAllen on April 21, 2023.
Wind and water count too. The April 29, 2023 squall line's damage path started in Mission and uprooted trees east-northeast of town. Hurricane Hanna dropped 14.40 inches of rain northwest of Mission in 2020, with up to 3 feet of water in some streets. Spring is hail season here.

What Mission Homeowners Ask
Will I need a permit to re-roof in Mission?
Most likely, yes. Mission once dropped its re-roof permit fees for storm repairs, a sign that re-roofs usually run through its Permits Department. Call (956) 580-8691 to confirm for your address, and have your roofer apply for it before any tear-off begins.
Should a Mission home get Class 4 shingles?
It's worth pricing. Mission has had golf-ball hail more than once, and many Texas insurers discount premiums for Class 4 roofs, with amounts set by each company. No city rule requires them. Your roofer can fill out TDI form PC068 for your insurer.
Hanna flooded my street. Does that mean I need a new roof?
Not necessarily. Street flooding is different from roof damage, though Hanna's winds did damage many Valley roofs. Stains, lifted shingles or sagging are the signs to check. A free inspection will show whether a simple repair is enough or more is needed.
Who pays the deductible on an insurance roof job?
You do. Texas law says the insured always pays it, and a roofer who waives or rebates it without your insurer's consent commits a crime. Your insurer is allowed to withhold depreciation until you show proof the deductible was paid.
