Growth & Construction
Kyle sits within Hays County, an area that has seen ongoing residential growth across Central Texas. New construction and resale inspections both benefit from a documented condition review before any roofing decision.

NOAA’s 30 year record holds 80 verified hail reports within 10 miles of Kyle since 1996, squarely on the I-35 hail corridor. The busiest single year in that record was 2025, with 12 reports inside the ring.
HOA & Material Considerations
Many Hays County neighborhoods have HOA architectural review requirements covering shingle color, material type, and visible modifications. Confirm requirements with your HOA before selecting materials.

Largest Recorded
The defining Hays County disaster is the May 2015 Memorial Day flood: the Blanco River at Wimberley rose more than 20 feet in an hour to a record crest above 40 feet, destroying more than 320 homes countywide. Spring hail and damaging wind also reach San Marcos, Kyle, and Buda (NWS Austin/San Antonio).

How service works in Kyle
Every Kyle project starts with education and documentation led by David Rodrigues, based in Round Rock, Texas.

Exterior & Painting
What Kyle homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Kyle’s production homes used identical builder exterior palettes, homeowners repainting for differentiation need complete surface prep to avoid trapping builder-grade primer failures.
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 Kyle homeowners say
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.

Highly recommend.
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.
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!
Owner Response
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.
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.
