Shepherd & Sons Roofing in Iowa
Shepherd & Sons Roofing has been putting shingles over Iowa heads since 1996, and they’ve operated from the same address the entire time. Bill Shepherd and his sons handle the work personally - from the first phone call to the final nail - and every roofing job across Iowa carries their 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. As part of the Locally family, they meet the standard Ward Selby set back in 1997: a published owner name, a local address you can drive to, a license number you can look up, and a live person who answers the phone. For Iowa homeowners, that means no out-of-state plates, no call centers, and no surprises when the invoice arrives.
Why Iowa Homeowners Choose Shepherd & Sons Roofing
Bill Shepherd started this company in 1996, and he’s been at the same shop ever since. While storm chasers roll through Iowa after every hail event with fresh magnets on their trucks and disconnected phone numbers, Bill’s sons are on the roof with him, wearing the same uniforms, answering to the same name that’s on the side of the truck. That’s the difference between a roofer who lives twenty minutes away and one who is already halfway to Nebraska by the time you notice the leak.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise is not a slogan - it’s in writing on every job. If something isn’t right, one call brings Bill back. No forms to fill out, no departments to navigate, no “we’ll have a technician contact you within 48 hours.” Bill answers his own phone, 24 hours a day, including nights and weekends after a storm. A live person picks up, not a recording, not a call center reading from a script. Ask anyone on your street - that’s how it works when the owner puts his name on the work.
Bill publishes his license number and his address because he has nothing to hide. His crew is background-checked and uniformed, and they’ve installed products from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral across Iowa for over 29 years. Name the shingle, and they have likely set it. If another roofer has already given you a written estimate, Shepherd & Sons offers a free second opinion with no-hassle upfront pricing and no trip charge inside the county. The price Bill says on the phone is the price on the invoice. No quote at the door that mysteriously triples once the ladder goes up.
The L.O.C.A.L. values mean something specific here. Local roots: same address since 1996, not a call center three states away. On time: the window Bill gives you is the window, and he calls if it slips. Community first: he hires here, buys here, and you will see him at the hardware store on Saturday. Accountable: his name and license number are published, and he answers his own phone. Loyal: Bill would rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket and disappear. That is the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it still works in Iowa.
Backed by the Locally Family
Every Locally company, including Shepherd & Sons Roofing, carries the same guarantee Ward Selby wrote down in 1997. The owner’s name, a local address you can drive to, a license number you can look up - all published before you ever make the call. The person who answers the phone is the person who shows up, and the price he says on the phone is the price on the invoice. No exceptions, no fine print. When you hire Shepherd & Sons Roofing anywhere in Iowa, you are hiring a company that chose to meet that standard. The word “locally” is the answer to the only question that matters: are you actually local? With Bill Shepherd, you can verify it in five minutes, and you can hold him to it for the next twenty years.
