Roofing in Blanket, TX
The 20 May 2013 tornado that came into Blanket blew two heavy air conditioning units off the high school, damaged the gymnasium roof, a bus barn and a residence, snapped large oaks and tipped two headstones at the cemetery. Damage was logged at $100,000 for a storm rated EF1.
That is the useful thing about this town's record. It is not a vague hail season. It is a dated event with a survey behind it, and roofs on that side of Blanket are either the ones that were replaced afterward or the ones that were not. A trained spotter logged tennis-ball hail six miles north-northwest of Blanket on 12 June 2023, and two-inch stones fell on 29 April 2016.
Blanket is an incorporated town, so the International Residential Code as it stood on 1 May 2012 is the residential building code here by statute, covering repair and alteration as well as new work. Nobody is likely to inspect your shingles. The standard still exists, and a decent contractor builds to it anyway.
The stock is genuinely old. Sixty of 175 units were finished before 1940, better than a third, against a median year built of 1960. On houses that age the sheathing is usually spaced one-by plank, and a nail into the gap between boards holds nothing at all. Median value sits near $76,800, which keeps a full tear-off in proportion with the rest of the property and rules out anything designer.
Nineteen occupied units heat with bottled or tank LP gas, which puts a tank and a hard line somewhere near the house. We route tear-off debris and ladder feet away from both, and we photograph the run before we start rather than argue about it later.
Blanket Creek gave the town its name after an 1852 surveying party found Tonkawa blankets spread over sumac in a downpour, and the town moved to its present site in 1891 when the railroad came from Comanche. What survives from that move is a small, tight old core with newer places scattered on acreage.
On an older, lower-value house, ask your agent one question before you file: has the carrier switched your roof to actual cash value. The Texas Department of Insurance says plainly that as roofs age some companies do exactly that, and that no policy pays for a new roof merely because the old one wore out.
Our roofing scope in Blanket
Brownwood Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Blanket that we do in Brownwood — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Roof Repair — Texas licenses nobody to put a roof on your house. That means on a Brownwood repair there is no state credential to check, so ask the only two questions that still have answers: who carries the insurance, and who pulls the permit.
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs — Asphalt covers most of Brownwood, most of Early and most of every small town out to the county line, and it will keep doing so because the price suits this housing stock. It also has one weakness that bites harder here than almost anywhere.
- Cool Roof Installation — Brown County summers make this a legitimate purchase rather than a talking point. A cool roof is defined by two measured numbers, solar reflectance and thermal emittance, and in Texas nothing in code requires either on a house.
- Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — Low-slope work in this county is mostly not on commercial buildings. It is on the additions.
- Hail Damage Roofing — Hail rarely announces itself on a roof. A bruised laminate shingle looks fine from the driveway and often looks fine from the ladder as well.
- Insurance Claim Help — The most useful thing we do on claims here has nothing to do with the roof. It is telling an owner to read the vacancy language in their policy before anybody files anything, because on a great deal of property in this county that language has already decided the outcome.

About Blanket, TX — and why local matters here
Blanket sits in Brown County with a population of roughly 369, close enough to Brownwood that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include Blanket Creek, the US 67 and US 377 edge of Blanket.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Blanket properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Brown County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
