Every partner credential is detailed on our trusted partners page.
Exterior & Painting
What Bee Cave homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Bee Cave’s limestone-rich terrain means many homes feature stone veneers requiring specialized masonry sealers, standard exterior paint over natural stone traps moisture and causes spalling.
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.

I needed help replacing my roof after a hail storm and David at The Roof Shepherd really helped me out. The team made the process really easy and streamlined. They were able to source excellent material and their work crew were professional and courteous at all times, and the quality of their work was top notch. I also appreciate how we were able to coordinate around my busy schedule.
Owner Response
Thank you for the thoughtful review. I really appreciate you trusting me and The Roof Shepherd after the hail storm. I’m glad we were able to make the roof replacement process easy, organized, and flexible around your schedule. It also means a lot that you recognized the crew’s professionalism, the quality of the materials, and the workmanship on the roof. Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to help protect your home.
If you’re looking for a roof replacement, look no further than the Roof Shepherd himself, David. A few months ago, an exterminator discovered a hole in our roof while checking for squirrels. David and his crew went out of their way and placed a solid, temporary patch over the hole. David and his crew did this at 11:30 at night, hours before severe weather hit the area. David did this right at the beginning of the process which most roofers would never bother to do. David and the crew did an excellent job, along with the full replacement of our gutters!!! The roof looks great and we are extremely happy with the result. David stayed in constant contact throughout the process and explained how to smoothly get things done with the insurance company, which we all know can be a pain. David’s knowledge in roofing is second to none, so if you are close to replacement, or have questions about the process, trust me, call the Roof Shepherd!!!
Owner Response
Lonnie, thank you for the incredible review and for trusting The Roof Shepherd team with your home in Cedar Park. That late-night emergency response was definitely one of those real roofing moments, but the goal was simple: protect the home before the weather moved in and keep a roof opening from turning into interior damage. I’m grateful we were able to help at the very beginning of the process, then follow it through with the full re-roof and gutter replacement. I also appreciate you mentioning the communication side of the job. Roofing and insurance-related work can be stressful, so my goal is always to keep homeowners informed, prepared, and protected from start to finish. Thank you again for the trust, the kind words, and the opportunity to take care of your home.
David provided a great experience from beginning to end. He and his team were professional, communicative, and did excellent work on our roof. They made the whole process easy and stress-free, kept everything clean, and completed the job on time. Very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing roofing services.
