Exterior & Painting
What Del Valle homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Homes near Austin-Bergstrom in Del Valle experience elevated UV exposure on open terrain, exterior coatings typically require reapplication 1 to 2 years earlier than shaded urban lots.
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.

What Del Valle homeowners say
David and his crew did a fantastic job inspecting our home. When they did the inspection in the attic they found subpar work done by the home builder which, if it had not been discovered, would have cost us well over $10K to correct. Roof joists were two feet short and not attached to anything — just left hanging, with no joist brackets. In time our roof would have collapsed. Thank you, Roof Shepherd.
Owner Response
Andrew, thank you for trusting us with your home in Round Rock. I’m grateful we were able to take the time to look beyond the surface of the roof and evaluate the attic, ventilation, and structural conditions affecting the roof system. A roof can look prematurely aged for reasons that aren’t always visible from the outside. In this case, the attic inspection and documentation helped identify serious underlying concerns before they became a much larger and more expensive problem. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. This is exactly why The Roof Shepherd focuses on careful inspection, clear documentation, and helping homeowners understand what is really going on with their roof before making major decisions. Thank you again for the opportunity to help.
We just got into town after a long-distance move, and after looking at our new house we realized the builder paint was pretty bad. We wanted to get all the walls repainted fast before we moved in, and ended up getting connected with David. We’re super happy with everything — David and his crew were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative the whole time, and the work came out great. David even noticed some other builder issues and had the crew fix them while they were there. Turnaround was lightning fast, and we didn’t have to change our move-in schedule at all.
Owner Response
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. I know how stressful a long-distance move can be, especially when you’re trying to get settled and realize the home still needs work before move-in. I’m grateful you trusted us to help get the painting handled quickly, and I’m glad the crew were able to deliver quality work while keeping communication clear throughout the project. We also appreciate you noticing the extra details we addressed along the way — when we see issues that can reasonably be corrected while we’re already there, we try to do the right thing and help protect the home. Thank you again for trusting us, and we’d be honored to help with anything else you need in the future.
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.
