A roofer who shows up in Hewitt
Hewitt is a Waco suburb tucked into the southwest corner of McLennan County, the kind of family town where Midway ISD draws people to the newer subdivisions off Old Hewitt Road and Sun Valley Boulevard. It also sits in one of the rougher hail zones in Central Texas. Spring storms that batter the Waco metro do not give Hewitt a pass, and the roofs along the Sun Valley and Woodway corridors take the same beating their neighbors a few miles up I-35 do. We have walked plenty of these roofs after a storm system has moved through and put a good number of them back together.
Hewitt sits at the far north edge of our territory, the leg that reaches up from Leander toward Waco, but a job there gets the same crew and the same standard as one closer to home. We wanted to do it the right way instead of trying to make a quick nickel off of homeowners, we wanted to build lasting relationships. That means tearing a worn-out roof down to the deck, swapping any sheathing the old roof let go soft, and building the new one back as a single weather-tight system. Every replacement carries a lifetime workmanship warranty and six years of weatherproofing visits we schedule and run ourselves.
If your Hewitt roof is aging out, dripping in the attic, or got chewed up in the last round of hail, we will drive up, get on it, and hand you a number in writing. Your free roof quote lists the work in plain language with the warranty terms spelled out before you commit to a thing.

What we handle on a Hewitt roof
Replacement is the bulk of our work, but a roof is one connected system and we look after all of it. Here is what we take on for Hewitt homes and businesses, residential and commercial alike.
Metal Roofing
Standing-seam metal that shrugs off Waco-area hail and lasts for decades, set down clean and quiet over a Hewitt home.Shingle Repair
Torn tabs, lifted shingles and live leaks caught early, before a small fix turns into a full tear-off after the next storm.Storm Damage Roof Repair
After a hail cell crosses Hewitt we climb up, mark every bruise and wind lift, and put the roof right for the claim.Gutter Replacement
Continuous gutters sized for the flash-flood downpours that roll across McLennan County, so the water clears fast.Roof Ventilation
Lomanco-certified attic ventilation so a new roof does not cook itself in the long Central Texas summer heat.Commercial Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs for Hewitt storefronts and offices along the commuter corridor, scheduled around your hours.The part of McLennan County we cover
From the Midway ISD subdivisions off Old Hewitt Road and Sun Valley Boulevard to the stretch where Hewitt runs up against Woodway and Lorena, we cover the whole city and the communities around it. The I-35 commuter corridor keeps us a short hop away, and our crews fan out across Texas once a major storm system clears.
Hewitt belongs to McLennan County, where we also serve the neighboring Waco-area cities and towns.
The weather a roof faces this close to Waco
The Waco metro is one of the busiest hail corridors in the state, and Hewitt sits right in it. Spring and early summer push storm cells across McLennan County loaded with hail and straight-line wind, and that is the number one reason a Hewitt roof gets replaced before its shingles would have worn out on their own. The trouble is you rarely see it from the curb. A hailstone bruises the asphalt mat under the granules without breaking through, and it knocks loose the coating that holds off the sun. So a roof that reads as fine the morning after a storm can fail quietly over the next year or two as the heat and the next round of rain work into those soft spots. That is exactly why we climb up and inspect a roof properly before we call it a repair or a replacement.
Then there is the sun. Hewitt summers stay hot for months at a stretch, and an attic that was never vented right can run far hotter than the air outside, baking the shingles from underneath and pushing up the cooling bill. We size the ventilation on every roof we build to our Lomanco-certified design, because a brand-new roof over a stale attic still wears out early and quietly costs the homeowner money season after season. Ventilation is part of the roof here, never a line item we tack on for extra.
We size the ventilation into the roof from the start, not bolt it on after.
Plenox Solutions, Hewitt roofingWhen a Hewitt roof is genuinely past saving, a real replacement beats one more patch. We strip the old roof to the decking, pull and replace any wood that has gone soft underneath, lay fresh underlayment, and build the roof back as one system that sheds water for the long haul. Lighter trouble gets the matching fix instead: our shingle repair crew handles the spot work, and our storm damage team logs every hit for your insurer. We quote what the roof in front of us actually needs, never the priciest job we could write up, and either path comes with the lifetime workmanship warranty and the six years of weatherproofing we come back and do ourselves.
Common questions from Hewitt homeowners
Plain answers on cost, timing and storm claims for folks in Hewitt. If yours is not below, call (432) 288-5562 or use our contact page.
Is Hewitt actually in your service area or too far north?
Hewitt is in our area. It sits at the north end of our Central Texas territory, up the I-35 corridor toward Waco, and we run jobs there along with Woodway, Lorena and the rest of the McLennan County communities around it. The distance does not change the crew you get or the standard we hold to. After a big storm system we will travel anywhere in Texas.
My Hewitt roof took hail. Should I replace it or just patch it?
Two things decide it: how much of the roof the hail touched and how old the shingles already were. If the bruising is contained to one slope and the rest is sound, a focused repair is the honest answer. If hail peppered the whole roof or the shingles were already near the end, a full replacement saves you money over chasing leaks. We climb up, study it, and tell you straight which one yours is, with photos in hand.
Will homeowners insurance pay for storm damage in the Waco area?
Hail and wind are usually covered causes of loss on a standard policy, and the Waco metro sees plenty of both. We photograph everything, meet your adjuster up on the roof, and push to make sure the approved scope matches what the storm really did. We cannot promise what any one policy pays out, but we make certain the carrier sees the full extent. Our storm damage page walks through the process.
What backs a Hewitt roof after Plenox installs it?
Every roof we replace carries a lifetime workmanship warranty on the install, good for as long as you own the home. On top of that you get six years of weatherproofing visits, done once a year, where we come back, check the seams and penetrations, and reseal anything that has worked loose before the next storm season can find it.
How many days does a replacement run in Hewitt?
Most homes are done in one to a few days once the materials land on site. Roof size, pitch, and whether any decking has to come out all move that number. We hand you a real timeline before the first shingle comes off and keep you posted as it goes, so you are never left wondering after the deposit clears.
Do you take on commercial roofs in Hewitt too?
We do. We install and repair flat and low-slope roofs for Hewitt storefronts, offices and other commercial buildings, and we work around your business hours so you stay open through the job. Call us or head to our commercial roofing page and tell us about the building.
