Exterior & Painting
What Lago Vista homeowners should know about exterior work
Local Paint & Exterior Note
Lake Travis waterfront exposure accelerates paint chalking and mildew, a penetrating sealer coat before topcoat painting significantly extends exterior finish life on Lago Vista homes.
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.

If you’re looking for a roof replacement, look no further than the Roof Shepherd himself, David. A few months ago, an exterminator discovered a hole in our roof while checking for squirrels. David and his crew went out of their way and placed a solid, temporary patch over the hole. David and his crew did this at 11:30 at night, hours before severe weather hit the area. David did this right at the beginning of the process which most roofers would never bother to do. David and the crew did an excellent job, along with the full replacement of our gutters!!! The roof looks great and we are extremely happy with the result. David stayed in constant contact throughout the process and explained how to smoothly get things done with the insurance company, which we all know can be a pain. David’s knowledge in roofing is second to none, so if you are close to replacement, or have questions about the process, trust me, call the Roof Shepherd!!!
Owner Response
Lonnie, thank you for the incredible review and for trusting The Roof Shepherd team with your home in Cedar Park. That late-night emergency response was definitely one of those real roofing moments, but the goal was simple: protect the home before the weather moved in and keep a roof opening from turning into interior damage. I’m grateful we were able to help at the very beginning of the process, then follow it through with the full re-roof and gutter replacement. I also appreciate you mentioning the communication side of the job. Roofing and insurance-related work can be stressful, so my goal is always to keep homeowners informed, prepared, and protected from start to finish. Thank you again for the trust, the kind words, and the opportunity to take care of your home.
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.

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.
David provided a great experience from beginning to end. He and his team were professional, communicative, and did excellent work on our roof.
