David was amazing! Highly recommend for all roofing needs! He’s honest and reliable!
Owner Response
Thank you, Brandie. I appreciate you trusting me with the new construction roof inspection on your home in Lexington, Texas. A new roof should be installed the way the shingle manufacturer's instructions and the building code require, and you deserve to know that before you sign off. I was glad to walk you through what to look for, document what I found, and help you ask your builder the right questions. Thank you for the recommendation. It means a great deal as I keep building The Roof Shepherd one honest inspection at a time.
We loved working with Roof Shepherd! The people are great and the work was stellar. Would definitely consider working with them again!
Owner Response
Thank you, Isaac! We loved working with you, too. We appreciate you trusting The Roof Shepherd with your home in Round Rock, Texas, and taking the time to share your experience. Hearing that you were happy with both our team and the finished work means a lot. We’d be glad to help whenever you need us again!
I’ve chosen David with The Roof Shepherd twice for my family’s roofing needs. After he completed my roof, I trusted him again to replace the roof on my mother’s home in Austin, Texas. I’m writing this on her behalf because I helped her throughout the process and saw firsthand how David took care of her.
David patiently helped me understand the insurance claim process and the problems with her roof. After the claim was repeatedly denied, we decided to pay for the replacement ourselves. He helped us choose an IKO Class 3 roofing system to keep the cost manageable.
This roof needed more than new shingles. There were substantial leaks around the chimney that required extensive work on the roof decking, and the chimney had no cricket to help divert water around it. David addressed these problems along with other existing defects during the replacement.
I appreciated the time he spent explaining things and helping us work through our options. Having someone I already trusted take care of my mother meant a lot to me. We’re very happy with the result. There’s a reason I chose David twice, and I would gladly recommend him and The Roof Shepherd.
Owner Response
Michael, thank you for trusting me and The Roof Shepherd a second time, especially when it came to taking care of your mother’s home in Austin.
This project involved several issues beyond simply replacing the shingles, including significant leaking around the chimney, damaged roof decking, and the lack of a proper chimney cricket. I’m glad we were able to correct those problems and install an IKO Class 3 roofing system that made sense for the home and the budget.
I also appreciate you mentioning the time spent explaining the roof conditions, the insurance process, and the available options. Whether a project ultimately goes through insurance or becomes a retail roof replacement, my goal is the same: document what is actually happening, explain it clearly, and help the homeowner make an informed decision.
Thank you again for choosing me twice for your family’s roofing needs and for taking the time to share your experience. It means a great deal to have that level of continued trust.
David The Roof Shepherd™
David of The Roof Shepherd is super knowledgeable and he's by far the most detail-oriented guy I've met. He was very thorough, very quick to answer all my questions (and I had a lot!). He knew all the details of city-specific requirements, like Austin's wildland-urban interface (WUI) code, that most roofing companies in the metro are simply unaware of. His quote, which was very competitive, by the way, was also the most detailed and left no room for misinterpretation. Even though I ended up going with another company due to time constraints on my side, I was extremely impressed by the whole experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Roof Shepherd to anyone who needs roofing work done.
Owner Response
Basile, thank you for such a thoughtful review. I enjoyed working through your questions and putting together a detailed roofing estimate for your home in Austin, Texas. You deserved clear answers about the materials, scope of work, and requirements relevant to your property so you could make an informed decision.
I completely understand that timing played a part in choosing another company, and I appreciate you recommending me even though we didn’t move forward together. Helping homeowners understand their options is a big part of why I built The Roof Shepherd.
I wish you the best with your roofing project. If questions come up down the road, I’m always happy to help.
David The Roof Shepherd
David was incredibly helpful, responsive, and worked quickly to make sure we were happy and taken care of.
Owner Response
Thank you, Harvey. I truly appreciate your trust and the five-star review. It was a pleasure helping you with your GAF roofing system and roof installation in Austin, Texas. Clear communication, responsive service, and making sure homeowners feel taken care of remain priorities at The Roof Shepherd. Thank you again for allowing us to help protect your home.
Easy to schedule, communicated well, completed work quickly and efficiently!
Owner Response
Jennifer, thank you for the 5-star review and for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your ridge vent and shingle roof repair in Georgetown, Texas.
I’m glad the scheduling was easy, communication was clear, and we were able to get the roof repair completed quickly and efficiently. Ridge vent and surrounding shingle issues can create problems if they are not properly secured and sealed, so making sure the repair was handled correctly was the priority.
We appreciate the opportunity to help with your home. If you ever have questions about your roof, shingles, ridge vent, flashing, leaks, ventilation, or general roof maintenance in Georgetown, Texas, feel free to reach out.
Thank you again for choosing The Roof Shepherd.
Great experience with David and his roofing company. They found the source of the leak, and got it fixed within a couple of hours. Professional, honest, and easy to work with. I'd definitely recommend them.
Owner Response
Tufan, thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I’m glad we were able to quickly identify the source of the roof leak and complete the repair within a couple of hours.
Roof leaks can be deceptive, so finding the actual entry point and correcting the underlying issue is always the priority rather than simply treating the visible symptom. I appreciate you trusting us with your roof repair in Round Rock, Texas, and especially appreciate your comments about our professionalism, honesty and communication.
Thank you again for the recommendation and for giving The Roof Shepherd the opportunity to help protect your home.
Our roof was damaged during one of the first rain storms in June. Shingles were gone and water was literally pouring into the house. We called Roof Shepherds and they came out that morning, documented the damage, and placed tarps on the roof. Given the amount of rain we later had, we so appreciated this temporary and effective repair.
They also worked with the insurance company documenting our claim and did a beautiful job on the final repairs. These folks were supportive, competent, and a pleasure to work with.
Owner Response
Betty, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. When a roof is actively allowing water into the home, getting it protected quickly is the first priority. I’m glad we were able to come out that morning, document the storm damage, and complete the emergency roof patch and temporary protection before the additional rain arrived.
It was also a pleasure coming back to complete the follow-up roof repairs and provide the documentation needed for your insurance claim. Thank you for trusting us with your home and for allowing us to help you through the process.
We truly appreciate the recommendation and are grateful to have been your roofing contractor in Kyle, Texas.
David inspected my roof and provided valuable information. I told him from the beginning that I just wanted the inspection done, and although he knew that I wouldn't likely buy a new roof he came out anyways. He did inform me of certain issues that I should keep an eye for. Once the next storm hits I know who I will call. Thanks for the inspection, advice and guidance.
Owner Response
Leo, thank you for trusting me with the commercial roof evaluation in Georgetown, Texas. My goal was to give you a clear understanding of the metal roof’s current condition without pressuring you into work that was not immediately necessary.
We reviewed three practical options: replacing and resecuring the existing fasteners, applying a commercial roof coating system, or installing a new standing-seam metal roof. Each option has different advantages, limitations, maintenance requirements and long-term costs, so it was important to explain the pros and cons clearly.
I appreciate the opportunity to provide the inspection and guidance. When the property needs another evaluation or you are ready to move forward, The Roof Shepherd will be here to help.
Even though I ended up not replacing my roof, I wanted to leave a review for David, The Roof Shepherd, because his professionalism was outstanding. He provided me with incredible, detailed information, answered all of my questions, and was completely transparent. No high-pressure sales tactics at all. If you want a knowledgeable and honest roofer, I highly recommend giving him a call!"
Owner Response
Mike, thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I appreciate the opportunity to inspect your roof in Austin, Texas, explain its current condition, and provide clear information about the roof replacement that will be needed.
Although you are not ready to move forward with the replacement yet, I respect that the timing must be right for you. My responsibility is to document what matters, answer your questions honestly, and help you understand your options without using high-pressure sales tactics.
Thank you for recognizing the professionalism, transparency, and detailed approach I bring to every roof inspection. Austin homeowners considering a roof replacement deserve accurate information and enough time to make a confident, informed decision.
I sincerely appreciate your trust and recommendation of The Roof Shepherd.
These guys helped us through a difficult insurance situation and made sure to walk us through things at every step. After final approval, the did the work, putting on a high-quality roof, in less than a day and left the area spotless. They did a wonderful job and I would certainly recommend them to others.
Owner Response
Jim, thank you for trusting me to serve as The Roof Shepherd throughout what became an almost 14-month appraisal and insurance process.
After at least four adjuster inspections and continued disagreement over the need for a full roof replacement, I remained committed to documenting the obvious hail damage, standing beside you, and helping you pursue the proper resolution. Situations like this are exactly why I take the “Shepherd” role seriously.
Once the replacement was approved, our installation team completed your Round Rock, Texas roof replacement in less than a day and left the property spotless. Your new system includes GAF Timberline UHDZ Class 4 shingles in Weathered Wood, a GAF Golden Pledge Limited Warranty, properly configured turbine ventilation, and all-metal roofing accessories rather than plastic components that can become vulnerable in the Texas heat.
I sincerely appreciate your patience throughout the process, your trust in me, and your recommendation. It was an honor to stand with you and help bring this project to the finish line.
David, The Roof Shepherd
I cannot think of a more fitting name for roofing contractor David Rodrigues than “The Roof Shepherd.” David was involved in every aspect of this process, start to finish, including a thorough inspection upon completion. By definition, a shepherd carefully guides or helps one navigate a complex process. He did exactly that! I walked away not only with a beautiful new roof, but also with the peace of mind and confidence of knowing I had made the right decision—choosing this company and selecting the right roof to withstand the storms in my area, while also making a smart investment in my home. David’s attention to detail was unmatched by any other roofing professional I met. He provided excellent customer service from start to finish, and I truly appreciated his guidance throughout the process. I am grateful for the outstanding experience and would confidently recommend The Roof Shepherd to anyone looking for quality roofing service.
Owner Response
Deborah, thank you for such a thoughtful review. Your description of what it means to be “The Roof Shepherd” captures exactly how I approach this work: personally guiding homeowners through every decision, staying involved from the initial inspection through the final quality-control walkthrough, and making sure the finished roofing system is built for the home, not merely installed and forgotten.
For your roof replacement in Kyle, Texas, we selected a GAF Timberline UHDZ Class 4 roofing system in Pewter Gray for its appearance, hail-resistance classification, long-term protection, and value as an investment in the home. The completed system includes all-metal roofing accessories, properly configured turbine ventilation, and GAF Golden Pledge Limited Warranty coverage.
Once the existing roof was removed, we also discovered and replaced a substantial amount of rotten wood decking. Correcting that deterioration before installing the new system was essential to restoring a sound foundation for the roof. Despite the additional decking work, our team completed the project in one day and followed it with a thorough final inspection.
I sincerely appreciate the trust you placed in me and the opportunity to guide you through the process. Knowing that you finished the project with both a beautiful roof and confidence in your decision is the result I work toward for every homeowner.

Our Process
Observe. Document. Decide.
Every engagement follows the same three-step discipline.
Observe Visible Conditions
Shingle condition, soft-metal impacts, gutters, fascia, vents, drainage, ceiling stains, and exterior surfaces. Only what is visible is recorded. No speculation added.
Document with Clarity
Photos, location notes, and plain-language condition descriptions. The homeowner receives an organized record they can use with any contractor or insurer.
Support the Decision
Repair, replacement, monitoring, or property guidance, only after the condition is understood. When you choose the work, our team does it, roof to gutters. The decision belongs to the homeowner.

What exactly does The Roof Shepherd do?
The Roof Shepherd is a roofing contractor that starts with education: roof and property inspections, storm damage documentation, and plain-language explanations of what is visible, what it means and what your options are, so you can decide. The documentation belongs to you and is delivered without conditions or sales pressure.
Is The Roof Shepherd a roofing contractor?
Yes, with a different order of work. We document the roof first and explain what we found. If you choose to move forward, you contract with The Roof Shepherd, our crew does the work, and we stand behind the roofing work with a written workmanship warranty.
Do I need an inspection after a hailstorm?
If visible hail fell in your area, documentation before any repair or claim decision protects your position, whether you file a claim or not. Soft-metal impacts on gutters and vents often show damage that isn’t visible from the ground. A documented baseline prevents disputes about when damage occurred and gives your insurer a written record.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes, on the construction side. We advise and educate you on your options and rights, document the roof, and submit documented supplements. We are not a public adjuster and never negotiate or settle a claim for you. We can meet your adjuster, explain the damage we documented, and tell you which path we believe is best. Coverage decisions belong to your insurer.
