Roofing in McAllen: local conditions
McAllen sits in a hot subtropical climate where the highest temperature ever recorded reached 111 F, set on June 22, 2017 and again on May 9, 2024, while the lowest was 13 F on January 12, 1962, so roofs face strong heat stress most of the year. Severe weather exposure is real: in 2013 a large hailstorm destroyed many vehicles and buildings, and the city is prone to tropical storms and hurricanes including Hurricane Dolly in 2008 and Hurricane Hanna in 2020. Snow is rare, with almost 3 in falling in December 2017 and 1.7 in on December 25, 2004, but February 2021 Winter Storm Uri brought record low temperatures between 10 F and 20 F. This combination of hail, hurricanes, sustained heat, and rare hard freezes is what drives roof wear and replacement demand here.
McAllen had an estimated population of 150,640 in 2025, anchoring a metropolitan area of 921,549, a sizable base of homes and buildings needing roofing work. The local economy has strengthened over time, with unemployment declining significantly through the 2000s. Housing has historically stayed affordable relative to national averages, keeping homeownership rates and re-roofing demand active across the metro.
