Roofing

When your roof is leaking or a storm just peeled shingles back like a tin can, you don’t need a phone tree. You need Bill Shepherd to answer, tell you when he’ll be there, and give you a price that doesn’t change when the ladder hits the gutter. That’s what the Locally family delivers for roofing: owner-operated crews who live in the county they work in, a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, and a phone that gets picked up by a real person at 2 a.m. after a hailstorm. We don’t list roofers. We stand behind them.

What’s Included

Every Locally roofing company handles the full range of residential roofing work, from emergency tarping after wind damage to full replacements that outlast your mortgage. Here’s what Bill Shepherd and his crew at Shepherd & Sons Roofing take on:

Storm Damage Repair & Emergency Tarping

When hail punches through shingles or wind tears off a ridge vent, water doesn’t wait for business hours. Bill answers live, 24/7, and gets a crew out to stop the bleeding. They document everything with photos for your adjuster, lay a proper tarp that won’t flap itself loose in the next gust, and scope the full repair so you’re not calling back in three weeks.

Leak Detection & Repair

Not every leak shows up where it’s dripping. Bill’s been on enough roofs in this county to know the usual suspects: valley flashing gone bad, nail pops on south-facing slopes, ice dam backups in the shallow pitches common in older neighborhoods. He’ll trace it to the source, show you the spot, and fix it without talking you into a whole new roof.

Shingle Roof Replacement

When the granules are in the gutters and the shingles are curling like bacon, it’s time. Bill’s crew strips to the deck, replaces any rotted sheathing they find, and installs your choice of GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, or Boral shingles. His sons are on the roof with him, not day-laborers you won’t see again.

Flat & Low-Slope Roofing

Garages, additions, and commercial bays need different material and a different eye for drainage. Shepherd & Sons handles modified bitumen, TPO, and EPDM systems with the same done-right standard. Bill won’t sell you shingles on a pitch that won’t shed water.

Gutter Replacement & Roof Ventilation

Bad gutters destroy foundations; bad attic ventilation destroys shingles from the inside out. Bill checks both as part of any full inspection. If your soffit vents are painted over or your ridge vent was installed as decoration, he’ll tell you straight and price it separate from the roofing work.

Roof Inspections for Real Estate & Insurance

Buying a house? Your insurance company demanding a roof certification? Bill does written inspections with photos, honest remaining-life estimates, and no incentive to invent problems. He’ll also give you a free second opinion on any other roofer’s written estimate, no charge, no attitude.

Why Homeowners Choose the Locally Family

We started with a complaint, not a business plan. In 1997, Ward Selby, a retired county extension agent, kept hearing the same story: a truck with out-of-state plates, a quote that tripled at the door, and a phone number that went dead by Labor Day. He wrote down four things a homeowner could verify in five minutes: a local phone number a person answers, an address you can drive to, the owner’s name and face, and a license number you can look up. Any company willing to publish all four could carry his name. That list is still the entire standard.

Bill Shepherd met that standard in 1996, same address ever since, and he’s still there. His 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every job, and one call brings him back. No call center, no form, no voicemail. A live person answers the phone 24/7, including nights and weekends after a storm. His crew is background-checked and uniformed, and his own sons are on the roof with him. He publishes his license number, his address, and his cell. The price he says on the phone is the price on the invoice. That’s the L.O.C.A.L. code: Local roots in this county, On time windows that hold, Community first hiring and buying here, Accountable owners who answer their own phones, and Loyalty measured in decades, not single tickets. Ask anyone on your street. Bill lives twenty minutes away, and he’s going to run into you again at the hardware store on Saturday. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is.
