This directory holds two roofing listings for Kemp, Texas. None of them has a Google rating matched to it yet, so what follows is contact detail rather than reputation data.
One of them are recorded in Henderson County. The rest are in Kaufman County. Roofing permits and inspections are issued locally rather than by the state, so a re-roof in Kemp goes through Henderson County or the municipality's own building department, whichever holds jurisdiction at the property.
Hiring a roofer in Kemp: what this page knows
Texas issues no roofing license, so in Kemp the city or county's own registration and permit rules are the ones that apply; the Texas roofing license rules cover what the state does and does not regulate.
Texas's peak severe-weather season: March–June for hail, June–November for tropical. The Texas storm center lists any National Weather Service alert active right now. NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 105 severe-weather events for Henderson County between 2016 and 2026 — the county the listings on this page put Kemp in. The most recent event meeting the dataset's severity definition was a hail report measuring 1.00 in (Quarter - Half Dollar) on May 24, 2026.
We have not modeled a cost index for Kemp. The national baseline puts a full roof replacement at $5,625–$27,000 and a repair at $250–$3,500; local labor, permit fees and access move both.

Licensing for roofers working in Kemp
No state license is required to roof a house in Texas; city or county licensing usually still applies. The state leaves the roofing specialty to local government.
In practice that makes the local layer the one that matters in Kemp: a business license or contractor registration where the jurisdiction requires one, plus a permit and an inspection through Henderson County or the city for the work itself.

* The most recent data year is partial. NOAA publishes storm reports on a rolling basis and the final months are still being processed, so a low count in the last year is not evidence of a quiet year. The curated archive behind these counts runs through May 31, 2026; anything later sits in the preliminary block below.
Notable events in the archive
- Jun 1, 2024 -- Hail (Softball+ hail, 2.75 in) -- $13K property damage reported
- May 24, 2024 -- Thunderstorm Wind (65 kt gust)
- Nov 4, 2022 -- Tornado (EF2) -- $3.00M property damage reported
- Apr 29, 2017 -- Tornado (EF2) -- $500K property damage reported
Selected by the dataset’s own rule rather than by editorial choice: the largest hail, the peak wind gust, the strongest tornado and the two costliest events by recorded property damage, deduplicated and newest first. Any dollar figure above is NOAA’s recorded estimate for that one event.
What these counts cover. County figures count events NOAA recorded against a county (hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes). High wind, winter storms, ice storms, blizzards, heavy snow, hurricanes and tropical storms are recorded against National Weather Service forecast zones rather than counties, so they are reported at state level instead. Counts reflect events that were observed and reported.
“Significant” on this page means an event meeting any one of three tests: hail 1.00 in across or larger, a wind gust of 58 kt or more (the National Weather Service severe thunderstorm criterion), or any tornado. It is a severity definition used by this dataset and is not an official NOAA classification.
The damage figure. $5,261,500 is the sum of NOAA’s recorded property-damage estimates across every event in Henderson County over the period — a county total, not a figure for any one property, any one building or any one claim. NOAA records these figures as estimates made at the time of reporting. They are not adjusted for inflation, and they are frequently absent or zero — a zero means nothing was recorded, not that nothing was damaged.
Source. Archived figures come from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events Database, covering 2016 through May 31, 2026. Anything after that date comes from NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary storm reports and is labelled preliminary wherever it appears. Both are US Government works in the public domain.
