What Hutto homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Hutto’s production homes frequently include premium exterior packages with manufacturer warranties that can be voided by improper repainting, verify specifications before coating.
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 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!

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.
Owner Response
Ofranel, thank you for sharing this. It means a lot hearing that a year later the roof still looks great, there are no leaks, and everything is holding up the way it should. I also appreciate you mentioning the communication and process. My goal is always to make the project clear, easy, and handled with care from start to finish. Thank you again for trusting me and The Roof Shepherd with your home.
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.
