The Roof Shepherd manages every part of how your project gets delivered: your contract, permits, materials, scheduling, the crew, quality checks, cleanup, the final walkthrough, and your written workmanship warranty. Independent subcontractor crews do the hands-on installation under our direction, and one company answers for the whole job.

- Materials, ordered and checked for your job
- Scheduling, and a clear start date

During and after the work
- Photos of the work as it goes
- Cleanup and a magnet sweep
- The final walkthrough with you
- Your written workmanship warranty: 5 years on roofs steeper than 2:12, 2 years on sections 2:12 or flatter
- Manufacturer warranty registration
Execution
Who does the hands-on work
Independent subcontractor crews
Installation is done by independent subcontractor crews, trade companies that work to our written installation standard. Texas law requires us to give you a written list of the subcontractors and suppliers on your job before work starts, and to update it if anything changes. We do. When the job is finished and paid, you receive a bills-paid affidavit showing the crews and suppliers were paid.
What every crew must meet before it works on your roof
- A signed subcontract that carries our installation standard and our workmanship warranty terms
- Proof of liability coverage and workers’ compensation or occupational accident coverage, with The Roof Shepherd LLC named on the certificate, before the crew starts
- Any city registration your job’s location requires
What you get in writing before work starts
- A written contract and itemized estimate covering scope, materials, quantities, timeline, payment schedule, and cleanup
- The list of subcontractors and suppliers on your job, updated if anything changes
- No same-day signature required, and no price that depends on an immediate decision
- You sign your own contract. We never sign anything on your behalf
Documentation First
How we are paid, and why the record comes first
How we are paid
You pay The Roof Shepherd under your written contract for the work you choose. The inspection record is yours either way.
The protection is in the sequence and the ownership. Your condition record is created first, with dated photos you can check yourself, and it belongs to you before anyone talks price. What is on your roof is what gets documented, and the record does not change based on which path you choose, or whether you choose one at all.
What Warranties Apply
Your two warranties
Workmanship Warranty
The Roof Shepherd LLC issues your workmanship warranty in writing and stands behind it, whoever was on the crew: 5 years on roof sections steeper than 2:12, and 2 years on sections at 2:12 or flatter. It covers the installation. If something goes wrong with the installation, you call us.
Manufacturer Warranty
The shingle manufacturer warrants its materials separately, under its own terms. We state both warranties in your contract, each with its own terms, and we register the manufacturer warranty for you. Enhanced manufacturer warranties require the installing company to hold that manufacturer’s current certification, so ask which tier your job qualifies for before you sign.
What can change over time
Manufacturer warranty programs and certification status can change, and a certification held last year is not evidence of one held today. Before relying on a warranty tier that depends on a certification, confirm current status with us and directly with the manufacturer.
Common Questions
Common questions about how work gets delivered
Is The Roof Shepherd a roofing contractor?
Yes. We contract for roofing and exterior work, manage it from start to finish, and warrant it in writing. What makes us different is the order: your roof is documented and explained before anyone talks price.
Do you use subcontractors?
Yes. Independent subcontractor crews do the hands-on installation under our direction and our written standard. Your contract and warranty are with The Roof Shepherd, and you get a written list of the crews and suppliers on your job.
Who do I call if something goes wrong?
Call The Roof Shepherd at 512-575-5052. Your contract and your workmanship warranty are with us, and we handle it with the crew.
Will I know who is working on my roof?
Yes. You receive the subcontractor and supplier list before work starts, and an updated list if anything changes.
What warranties do I get?
Two. The Roof Shepherd’s written workmanship warranty covers the installation. The shingle manufacturer’s warranty covers the materials. Enhanced manufacturer warranties require the installing company to hold that manufacturer’s current certification, so ask which tier your job qualifies for before you sign.
Does The Roof Shepherd offer a guarantee on inspections or documentation?
The Roof Shepherd provides a written field record of visible roof and property conditions at the time of the visit. The record is a documented observation, not a warranty, not a coverage determination, and not a prediction of future performance. Documentation exists to give the homeowner a written record they control, not to guarantee any outcome.
