David was an absolute pleasure to work with. He showed up right on time for the quote on our repairs and made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

Owner Response
Thank you for the thoughtful review. It was a pleasure meeting with you in Georgetown, Texas, and helping you review the roof repair options for your home. I really appreciate you mentioning the communication, timing, and clear explanations. Even when a homeowner decides to go a different direction, my goal is still the same: show up on time, explain the roof concerns clearly, provide a straightforward repair quote, and help you make a confident decision. Thank you again for the kind words and recommendation.
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 is amazing. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Getting a new roof can be stressful, but he made the process super easy. He answered all our questions and concerns, worked with our insurance company, and gave us a good price for a new Class 4 roof. The workers were very courteous and professional — they went the extra mile, made sure everything was okay in the attic, worked around the gutters, installed new vents, and later repaired our shed connected to the house. They got everything done in one day, hours ahead of schedule. I highly recommend The Roof Shepherd to anyone that needs a new roof!
Owner Response
Thank you so much for this review. It really means a lot. Getting a new roof can be stressful, so I’m grateful we were able to make the process easier, walk through the insurance side, answer your questions, and get your Class 4 impact-rated roof installed the right way. I also appreciate you mentioning the crew — they worked hard, stayed professional, handled the attic and ventilation details, worked carefully around the gutters, and helped make sure the shed repair was taken care of afterward. Thank you again for trusting The Roof Shepherd with your home and for recommending us. It was a privilege to serve your family.
2025 Hail Activity
Documented storm exposure in Hutto
Hail Frequency
Central Texas averages several hail events a year — Williamson County alone sees roughly 5–8. Texas recorded 529 hail events in 2024 (NOAA SPC). Peak activity: March–May.
After major hail events, out-of-state contractors arrive quickly. Independent documentation before any contractor conversation gives you a neutral record of visible conditions — and protects your position whether you file a claim or not. The Roof Shepherd documents first. Decisions come after.
Largest Recorded
The September 24, 2023 hailstorm caused roughly $600 million across Travis and Williamson counties; Georgetown saw about 3-inch hail in April 2025 — a benchmark for what Central Texas storms can do.
Neighborhood Exposure
Active neighborhoods in Hutto: Brushy Creek, Star Ranch, Riverview, Wyldwood, Westbrook Farms. Hail exposure varies by lot elevation, tree coverage, and proximity to open terrain — block-level documentation is more reliable than area-wide estimates.
Hail data sourced from NOAA Storm Prediction Center (SPC) filtered reports. Reports reflect spotter-confirmed events of 1″ or larger within 10 miles of city center. Not a formal risk assessment.
Exterior & Painting
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 property protection 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.
