We needed a full roof replacement on our home here in Kyle, Texas after the recent storms. Because we have solar panels, we were worried about the process, but David and the team at The Roof Shepherd handled the entire solar detach and reset flawlessly alongside the new roof. His crew arrived right on time, worked hard, and left the yard completely spotless. It is hard to find honest contractors who can handle complex jobs like this, and I highly recommend them.
