Replacing a Roof in Palmhurst
The Handbook of Texas puts Palmhurst on State Highway 107 and Farm Road 1924, four miles north of Mission in southwestern Hidalgo County. The 2020 Census counted 2,601 residents, so it's one of the smallest cities we serve. Your roofer will likely drive up from Mission or McAllen.
Palmhurst incorporated in the mid-1960s and is a General Law Type A city, with City Hall at 4417 N Shary Rd. One independent local roofer calls you back, inspects the roof and writes up the price. Nothing is decided until you say so.
Homes and Roofs in Palmhurst
Census QuickFacts skips places under 5,000 people, so Palmhurst has no official owner rate or home value, and we won't make one up. As a nearby yardstick, Mission reports 71.4% of homes owner-occupied and a median owner home value of $175,700 (ACS 2020–2024).
Palmhurst shares ZIP 78573 with north Mission, and its children attend Sharyland ISD or Mission CISD schools. Roof pitch, size and material differ from one lot to the next, so have your roofer measure instead of pricing from the curb.
Roof Services in Palmhurst
- Full replacement. A tear-off to the deck, new underlayment and flashing, and a new roof. Worth pricing after the 2015 hail and years of triple-digit summers.
- Storm and hail damage. Your roofer photographs the damage and prices the fix. You and your insurance company work out the claim between you.
- Metal roofing. Some owners weigh metal against shingles first. McAllen-area installed prices run $6–$10 per sq ft (HomeBlue, 2024).
- Shingle roofing. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are an optional upgrade. Many Texas insurers discount premiums for them, each setting its own amount.
- Roof repair. If the trouble is one leak or a patch of lifted shingles, a repair may cover it.
Storms Over Palmhurst and West McAllen
On March 26, 2015, the National Weather Service logged half-dollar to ping-pong-ball hail in Palmhurst, estimated at 1.50 inches, around 1:00 to 1:15 p.m. NWS called the area "west McAllen," and the storm's first burst carried 60 to 65 mph winds. The same storm dropped 1.75-inch hail at Alton, TX.
In the March 29, 2012 hailstorm, NWS logged golf-ball hail in Mission and winds blowing parts of roofs off. On April 21, 2023, it noted hail over 2 inches in the Mission/McAllen area. Spring brings most hail; summer brings microbursts.
Permits in Palmhurst
Palmhurst is its own incorporated city, so its permits don't run through McAllen. We found no published roofing rule or fee for the city, so we won't quote one. Call the city's permit office before work starts to confirm what your re-roof needs, and have your roofer pull the permit. If your property sits outside city limits, ask Hidalgo County Planning, (956) 318-2840, what applies.

What Palmhurst Homeowners Ask
Did the 2015 hailstorm hit Palmhurst?
Yes. The National Weather Service logged hail of about 1.50 inches in Palmhurst on March 26, 2015, with strong winds at the front of the storm. If your roof predates it and was never inspected, a free look makes sense.
Who issues roofing permits in Palmhurst?
The City of Palmhurst does, since it's incorporated. We haven't found a published roofing rule or fee, so call the city's permit office before work starts and ask what a re-roof needs. Your roofer should pull the permit. Cross off any roofer who suggests skipping it.
Does Texas require a roofing license?
No. Texas has no state license for roofers, and a 2025 bill to create one died. Instead, ask for proof of liability insurance, a local address, references and a written itemized bid. Some roofers carry RCAT certification, which is voluntary.
Can a roofer cover my insurance deductible?
No. Under Texas law, a roofer who offers to skip, refund or quietly eat your deductible without your insurer's OK is committing a crime. Insurance-paid contracts of $1,000 or more must state in bold that the homeowner pays it. Treat "free roof" pitches as a warning.
