Reconstruction Contractors for Texas School Districts

Shepperd Construction reconstructs building envelopes on Texas K-12 school campuses, including elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, administrative buildings, gymnasiums, cafeterias, and other campus facilities. We focus on building envelope systems — roofing, exterior cladding, window and door assemblies, and waterproofing — on both occupied and vacant school buildings.

Campus schedule sensitivity is built into every Shepperd school project. We build a construction phasing plan that maximizes summer and holiday break windows for the most disruptive scopes — roof tear-off, cladding demolition, window removal. For work that must proceed during the school year, we phase it to keep classrooms and administrative spaces operational, maintain secured work zones, and communicate proactively with facility directors about daily construction activity.

Yes. Shepperd has experience working within school bond program requirements, including detailed cost-of-repair estimates formatted for school board approval, documentation practices aligned with bond audit requirements, and budget discipline that keeps projects within the approved bond allocation. We understand that bond program managers and school boards need contractors who treat public money with the same discipline they apply to their own.

Yes. Texas school buildings under 10 years old with building envelope failures — persistent roof leaks, stucco failures, defective window installations — may have actionable construction defect claims under Texas law. Shepperd can work alongside the school district’s forensic engineer and legal counsel to perform invasive testing, document the defects, and produce a defensible cost-of-repair estimate. When the claim resolves, we execute the rebuild.

Shepperd Construction primarily serves school districts in the four major Texas metro areas: Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Fort Worth — and surrounding districts in each region. We maintain operational project teams in each market, so school districts work with local crews who know local building codes and inspection processes.

At every stage of a school reconstruction project, Shepperd produces documentation formatted for public accountability — cost estimates defensible at school board meetings, weekly photo progress reports for facility directors, permit applications and inspection approvals from local authorities, and a complete closeout package that includes material warranties, ASTM compliance records, and final inspection sign-offs. School districts should be able to hand a Shepperd closeout package directly to a bond program auditor.

Yes. Shepperd Construction is a fully licensed and insured Texas general contractor. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance at coverage levels appropriate for work on school campuses, and can provide certificate of insurance documentation to school district procurement departments. We comply with all applicable background check and site access requirements that Texas school districts impose on contractors.

Larger contractors bring overhead, out-of-state crews, and project managers who are juggling dozens of projects simultaneously. Shepperd assigns dedicated teams to each school district project — project managers who answer their phones, superintendents who know the campus, and crews who understand they’re working in a place where students learn every day. Twelve years. Zero failures. That’s the Shepperd track record.
