Rebuilding Texas Apartment Communities With Precision and Accountability
Managing an apartment complex reconstruction means juggling property managers, engineers, timelines, and resident concerns simultaneously. Shepperd Construction brings a structured, communication-first approach to every multifamily project — from invasive testing during the defect investigation phase through full building envelope restoration. Our teams operate out of Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Fort Worth, so we’re never an out-of-state firm learning your market on your dime.
How Shepperd Serves Multifamily Properties
Building Envelope Assessment & Testing
Our teams perform invasive testing, water infiltration assessments, and building envelope evaluations — giving property managers and owners the data needed to make decisions before spending capital.
Post-Litigation & CapEx-Driven Rebuilds
Whether the project is driven by a settled construction defect lawsuit or a planned CapEx cycle, Shepperd executes full building envelope reconstruction — roofing, cladding, windows, waterproofing — with zero project failures.
Communication-First Project Management
We assign dedicated project teams to each property, provide weekly written updates, and maintain direct communication with property managers so nothing falls through the cracks.
Texas Expertise. No Out-of-State Learning Curve.
Reconstruction Experts is Australian-owned. EmpireWorks came from California. Kennedy Richter is out of North Carolina. Shepperd Construction was born in Texas, operates in Texas, and knows this market inside and out. When your property manager needs a contractor they can actually trust — not one learning the ropes — Shepperd is the call.
Common Apartment Reconstruction Scenarios We Handle
Multifamily properties face a range of building envelope failures. Here are the scenarios where Shepperd delivers.
Construction Defect-Driven Rebuild
The lawsuit settled. Now the real work begins. Shepperd transitions from litigation support to full envelope reconstruction — systematically replacing what failed while the property stays occupied.
Aging Infrastructure & Deferred Maintenance
CapEx budgets exist for a reason. When roofing systems, window assemblies, or waterproofing membranes reach end of life, Shepperd provides the scope, pricing, and execution to bring the property back to standard.
Insurance Restoration After Water or Fire Damage
After remediation is complete, Shepperd steps in to rebuild the envelope — replacing damaged cladding, windows, and waterproofing systems with precision and full documentation for the insurance carrier.
How a Multifamily Reconstruction Project Works With Shepperd
Building Envelope Evaluation
Our team conducts a thorough building envelope evaluation — identifying failing systems, prioritizing repairs, and producing an accurate scope of work for your approval.
Building Envelope Restoration
Our crews execute the approved scope — replacing deficient roofing, cladding, windows, and waterproofing systems — with weekly updates and full photo documentation throughout.
Permitting, Scheduling & Communication Plan
Before a single nail is pulled, we handle permitting, material procurement, and build a detailed schedule — then communicate it clearly to your property management team.
Warranty & Final Report
At closeout, property managers receive full project documentation, material warranties, and a final inspection report — everything needed to protect the asset going forward.
Specific Work We Perform for Apartment Complexes
From single defect repairs to full-property envelope restorations, Shepperd’s capabilities match the scope of Texas multifamily reconstruction.
Stucco, EIFS & Cladding Systems
Failing exterior cladding is a primary driver of multifamily reconstruction projects. Shepperd replaces deficient stucco, EIFS, and other cladding systems per ASTM standards and engineer specifications.
Roofing & Waterproofing Systems
We replace failed roofing systems and install new waterproofing assemblies — decks, balconies, penetrations, and flashings — engineered to perform for decades.
Window & Door System Replacement
Window and door system failures drive water intrusion and energy loss across multifamily properties. Shepperd performs complete frame-out replacements with proper flashing and waterproofing integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Shepperd Construction is experienced in working on apartment complex reconstruction projects that are active in litigation or entering the post-settlement rebuild phase. We assist forensic engineers with invasive testing, produce court-ready cost-of-repair estimates, and then transition into the full reconstruction once the lawsuit resolves. Because we’re involved from the investigative phase, we can mobilize faster than a contractor who is coming in cold.
Shepperd Construction replaces the full range of building envelope systems commonly found on Texas apartment complexes, including: stucco and EIFS cladding systems, roofing assemblies (TPO, modified bitumen, metal), window and door systems, waterproofing membranes on decks and balconies, flashing systems, soffit and fascia, and related exterior components. All work is performed to ASTM standards and engineer specifications.
Shepperd assigns a dedicated project team to each property — including a superintendent and project manager who are reachable directly. We provide weekly written project updates to the property manager, hold regular site coordination meetings as needed, and proactively communicate any schedule changes or field decisions. Property managers should never have to chase their contractor for information.
Shepperd Construction serves Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Fort Worth — the four major Texas metros where our project teams are based. We serve surrounding regions from each of these markets and will consider projects elsewhere in Texas depending on scope and timeline.
Shepperd Construction can help. If you’re seeing building envelope issues — persistent leaks, stucco cracking, window failures — on a property under 10 years old, a construction defect claim may be worth exploring. We can connect you with forensic engineers and construction defect attorneys in Texas who can evaluate the situation. We’re not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice, but we can help you understand the technical side of what you’re seeing.
Project timelines vary significantly based on property size, scope of work, and whether the project is litigation-driven or CapEx-planned. A single-building envelope scope on a mid-size apartment complex may take 3–6 months. A multi-building community with full stucco, roofing, and window replacement can run 12–24 months. Shepperd provides a detailed project schedule at the preconstruction phase so property managers and owners have clear expectations from the start.
Yes. Shepperd Construction is a fully licensed and insured Texas general contractor. We carry the coverage levels required for multifamily residential and commercial property reconstruction, and we’ve been operating in Texas since 2014 with zero project failures. We can provide certificate of insurance documentation to property managers and owners as part of the preconstruction process.
Larger national firms often bring out-of-state crews, unfamiliar with Texas building codes and local market conditions. Shepperd’s teams are Texas-based, Texas-licensed, and have operated in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Fort Worth for over a decade. We’re not learning your market on your project — we’ve been here the whole time.
