Round Rock
John Elliott Roofing & Construction provides free roof inspections and storm damage documentation across Round Rock, TX, home to Dell Technologies’ world headquarters, covering both residential neighborhoods and the commercial corridor, with direct experience from the September 2023 hailstorm that struck the city directly.
Overview
Round Rock grew from a small town north of Austin into a major tech hub after Dell Technologies moved its world headquarters there in 1994, and the city’s roofing stock reflects decades of steady growth since.
Round Rock signed the first Chapter 380 economic development agreement in Texas history in 1993 to bring Dell Technologies’ world headquarters to the city, and the campus opened in 1994. What was once described as a small town north of Austin, with about 5,000 residents in the early 1970s, has grown into a major employment center with more than 60,000 STEM-related jobs today. The city takes its name from a rock formation along Brushy Creek that once marked a low-water crossing.
That growth means Round Rock’s housing stock spans decades, from older neighborhoods that predate Dell’s arrival to newer subdivisions built out during the tech-driven growth of the 2000s and 2010s. The September 24, 2023 hailstorm, one of the most expensive in Austin-area history, tracked directly through North Austin, Round Rock, and Pflugerville, with baseball to softball-sized hail contributing to insured losses across Travis and Williamson counties estimated well past $300 million.
We check both age-related wear and storm damage on every inspection, residential and commercial, since a storm on the scale of that 2023 event doesn’t discriminate between an older neighborhood and a newer one.
