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.

Why Clients
Choose Us

In a market flooded with contractors, Shepherd stands apart — not by volume, but by virtue of an uncompromising standard that our clients have come to rely upon.

Master Craftsmen Network

Our curated network of specialty subcontractors are vetted to our exact standards. We do not compromise on who touches your project.
