Growth & Construction
Bastrop sits within Bastrop County, an area that has seen ongoing residential growth across Central Texas.

U.S. Census data puts Bastrop near 11,200 residents, about 56% owner-occupied, with a median home value in the mid-$300,000s in this fast-growing Austin exurb, so roof condition and documentation carry real value here.
Hail & Storm Exposure

Common Roofing Issues
Many homes rebuilt after the 2011 wildfire are now 12 to 14 years old and approaching first major maintenance cycles, documentation of current conditions is valuable before any planned work.

How service works in Bastrop
Every Bastrop project starts with education and documentation led by David Rodrigues, based in Round Rock, Texas.

Exterior & Painting
What Bastrop homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Bastrop’s Lost Pines setting means pine needle accumulation on roofs and gutters is a year-round concern, trapped moisture accelerates shingle and fascia degradation faster than open terrain.
Sequence Matters
Exterior painting and repair work should follow, not precede, roofing documentation. Condition notes from a roof visit often surface fascia rot, gutter separation, and trim damage that affect painting scope and cost before a single brush stroke is applied.

David did an amazing job working with us to get our roof repaired during the sale of our home. He was very responsive to communication, knowledgeable, kept to his schedules, and was very easy to work with. If we were keeping the home, I definitely would have hired him for a full roof replacement when the time came. Would definitely recommend using his services.
Owner Response
Thank you so much for the kind review. I really appreciate the opportunity to help with the roof repair during the sale of your home. I know timing, communication, and documentation matter in that situation, so I’m glad I was able to help make the process easier. Your recommendation means a lot, and I wish you all the best with your next chapter.
David did an excellent job replacing our roof and gutters. I was very impressed with how clean they left the yard. They used good quality underlayment, unlike the previous roofer. Great communication. Our insurance adjuster knew who he was and it helped for a very smooth claim process. Highly recommend!

I’m glad the communication, cleanup, underlayment selection, and overall installation process stood out to you. We try to treat every roofing project with clear documentation, quality materials, and a clean jobsite from start to finish. I also appreciate you mentioning how smooth the process felt.

It has been a year since my roof was replaced by the Roof Shepherd crew, and so far no complaints, no leaks, and my roof looks amazing! Working with David since our first text message was so easy communicating my needs and expectations — I could not be happier.
