About The Roof Shepherd

The Roof Shepherd is a named, accountable person, not a faceless brand. Shepherd, inspector, and educator, David Rodrigues guides homeowners through what is actually on their roof, with the documentation discipline of a law enforcement background of 16+ years, before any sales conversation.

David grew up in Detroit before coming to Texas, with a background that crosses restaurants, construction, business management, marketing, and technology. The 16+ years in law enforcement built a documentation discipline that does not come from a sales background: systematic, accurate, defensible, and complete, no matter what the situation turns out to be.

Time around the roofing industry surfaced a consistent pattern. Homeowners were being asked to make large financial decisions on information they had no way to independently verify, often under time pressure created by the same contractor who stood to benefit from the decision. The Roof Shepherd is the answer to that pattern: bring the documentation standard used in law enforcement field work to roofs, hand the homeowner a written record before any contractor conversation begins, and let the facts drive the decision instead of the timeline. The Roof Shepherd LLC was established February 23, 2026, in Round Rock, and is built around a standard, not a personality, so the documentation a homeowner receives means the same thing no matter who is holding the camera.

Who is on your roof, said plainly. David Rodrigues sets the inspection and documentation standard every job is held to. He is often on the roof himself and he is not on every one. When someone else is, the standard, the written record and the accountability are the same, because they are his. The hands-on installation is done by independent subcontractor crews working to our written installation standard, and How Your Project Gets Delivered names who does what on your job.
