About Shepherd Contracting

A Different
Kind of Builder

We are not the largest firm. We are the most precise. Shepherd Contracting was built by family — co-founded in 2019 by Thomas Ray Shepherd alongside his father Ray Shepherd and his uncle Gary Shepherd, whose decades of combined experience in the field laid the foundation for everything we do. Three generations of craft, one standard of excellence.

Operating as a boutique practice, we maintain a select portfolio of concurrent projects, ensuring every commission receives the full weight of our leadership, expertise, and attention. Our clients are private families, global corporations, and institutional investors who trust us with their most significant built environments. That trust is earned — and never taken for granted.

Thomas and his team were absolutely amazing. Thomas contacted me every time something was delayed — he and his crew are so courteous and friendly, they make you feel like family. My project came out so beautiful, they cleaned up completely, and I am 100% satisfied. I will definitely refer him to everyone.

We have used Shepherd Contracting twice now for major remodels. We are very pleased with the outcome from both projects — they came in on budget, and his tradesmen are incredibly professional. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again and again.

The Thomas crew worked very hard and kept me informed the entire time — letting me know what they were doing and when I could expect the project to be complete. The level of transparency and professionalism was unlike any contractor I've ever worked with.
