Exterior & Painting Note
Hillsboro’s older commercial corridor includes pre-1978 structures requiring lead paint assessment before any exterior repainting project.

Exterior & Painting
What Hillsboro homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Most Hillsboro residential areas are pre-HOA developments, but Hill County building codes govern structural repair work. Condition documentation before any permitted work protects homeowners during the approval process.
Sequence Matters
Hillsboro’s older downtown housing stock includes wood-frame and brick-veneer construction from the early 1900s through 1960s, these structures show paint failure and fascia deterioration differently than newer builds, and benefit from condition documentation before any insurance or restoration conversation. 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.

I recently got a roof installed and my trim painted with this company. The process was simple — David helped me pick out colors for the roof, and I had no idea there were so many to choose from. I appreciate David and his crew for taking care of my home and respecting my property by making sure everything was masked and cleaned up by the end of the process. These guys were on time, efficient, took care of everything I asked for, kept me updated throughout, and took care of the small details I was picky about. I would highly recommend!

Sloan, I really appreciate you taking the time to share this. It was a pleasure helping with your roof installation, trim painting, and the color-selection process. I’m glad the process felt simple and that the crew respected your property with proper masking, cleanup, and communication throughout the project. Those details matter, especially when we are working on someone’s home. Thank you again for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your roof and painting work.
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.

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.
