What homeowners in College Station should know

College Station’s large student rental market means many properties carry deferred maintenance, owner-occupied homes in Southwood Valley and Castlegate benefit most from baseline documentation.
Hail & Storm Exposure
NOAA’s 30 year record holds verified hail activity within 10 miles of College Station since 1996; the busiest single year was 2025, with 32 reports inside the ring. Exposure arrives in concentrated seasons here, which is why dated documentation matters.
Exterior & Painting Note
College Station’s production housing boom has introduced large volumes of fiber cement siding, recoating before the 15-year warranty period requires compatible systems to maintain coverage.

Exterior & Painting
What College Station homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Castlegate, Pebble Creek, and carry HOA exterior approval requirements including pre-approved material and color selections. Verify current specifications before ordering any replacement roofing.
Sequence Matters
College Station’s high owner-occupied and investment property mix means roofing conditions are often deferred longer than in primary-residence-only markets. A condition record before storm season protects both owners and long-term rental investors. 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.

The Roof Shepherd did an amazing job — the company and, more importantly, the crew were fast and reliable. They had our roof and vents done in a timely manner after the recent storms. We upgraded after all the hail and high winds we’ve had over the last few years, and to our surprise it brought a discount on our insurance as well. The house looks great. It was the easiest choice on home maintenance we have ever made. Hands down, I would choose them again and would recommend them to anyone.
Owner Response
Valerie, thank you so much for the kind review and for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof and ventilation work. I’m glad we were able to help after the recent storms and get everything handled in a timely way. Upgrading to an impact-rated roofing system can make a real difference, especially after years of hail and high winds, and it’s great to hear the insurance discount was a helpful surprise as well. I also appreciate you recognizing the crew — fast, reliable, and respectful work matters, and I’m grateful they represented the company well on your home. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve your family.
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!

Dr. Liboiron, thank you for the thoughtful review. It was a privilege to help with your roof replacement and gutter installation in Pflugerville, Texas. 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.

When we needed our roof changed, David of The Roof Shepherd in Austin, Texas was recommended to us. He took care in making our home look great. David is easy going and very friendly. The whole process of getting the roof done was made easy, thanks to him: from giving us time to choose what we really wanted, to coordinating the insurance process and recommending a company for rain gutters — which we are very pleased with. He even saw to it that our porch posts were repaired, sparing us a search. Everything was beautifully done and in a timely manner. Love the look of our new roof!
Owner Response
Claudette, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It truly means a lot. It was a privilege to help with your roof replacement in Austin, Texas, and I’m glad the process felt easy and well-coordinated. Choosing a new roof is a big decision, so I’m glad you had the time and space to choose what you really wanted. I’m also glad we were able to help with the gutter recommendation and make sure the porch post repairs were addressed instead of leaving you to track that down on your own. Your home looks great, and I’m grateful you trusted me to help guide the project from start to finish.
