About Shepherd and Shield Roofing.
Our story
Shepherd and Shield Roofing was started for a reason that has not changed: too many homeowners get burned by contractors who overpromise, underdeliver, and vanish. Owner Nolan Link wanted to run a roofing company the opposite way, where the person who quotes the job is the same person on the roof, and where the work speaks for itself long after the truck pulls away.
The name says what we are about. A shepherd watches over what he is responsible for. A shield protects it. Your roof and exterior are the shield over everything you own, and our job is to keep that shield strong. We treat every home like it belongs to a neighbor, because around here, it usually does.
Who you are working with
When you hire Shepherd and Shield, you are hiring Nolan Link. He inspects the roof, he writes the estimate, he is on site during the work, and he is the one you call if you have a question. There is no call center and no runaround. That hands-on approach is the whole point of the company, and it is why the work gets done right the first time.
Nolan is straight with people. If your roof has years left and only needs a small repair, he will tell you that instead of selling you a full replacement. If it is failing, he will show you why and walk you through the fix. Honest beats easy, every time.
What we do
We are a full exterior contractor serving the Pittsburgh area and central Pennsylvania. Our services include asphalt shingle roof replacement, vinyl siding replacement, soffit replacement, fascia replacement, and gutter replacement. These systems work together to keep water moving off your home and away from the structure, and we install them as a package that actually functions, not as disconnected parts.
Why homeowners choose us
- Licensed and insured. You are protected on every job, and we will show proof before we start.
- Owner on every job. Nolan runs the work himself, so nothing gets lost between a salesman and a crew.
- A real process. Every roof goes down with our six-step installation process. Consistency is how you get a roof that does not leak.
- Built for our climate. We install for Pennsylvania freeze-thaw, ice, snow load, and wind-driven rain, not for a brochure.
- Clean job sites. We protect your landscaping during tear-off and we sweep for nails before we leave.
What it is like to work with us
Hiring a contractor should not feel like a gamble. With Shepherd and Shield, the process is simple and you always know where things stand. It starts with a free inspection: Nolan comes out, gets up on the roof or walks the exterior, and looks at the actual condition rather than guessing from the driveway. Then you get a clear written estimate that spells out the work and the materials, so the price you agree to is the price the job is built on. During the work, your property is protected and you are kept in the loop, and when we are done we clean up the site and haul everything away. If you ever have a question, you call Nolan, not a call center. That is the whole experience, start to finish, and it is the same on a five-figure roof replacement as it is on a small gutter job. We think that is how a contractor should treat the people whose homes they work on.
