Our Story

Built by a Middletown Family

Home Fortress Roofing & Construction was founded by Randy Shepheard, who grew up in the Middletown area. He graduated from Appoquinimink High School and earned a business degree at the University of Delaware, where he met his wife. They have two sons.

His career began in the restaurant industry and moved into real estate with Patterson Schwartz. Nine years as a Delaware real estate agent showed him firsthand how the condition of a roof can make or break a home sale.

More about our story

He then spent several years working for roofing and exterior construction companies, studying materials, installation methods and the insurance restoration process. He has about seven years in the roofing industry in all. The company's habits are simple: inspect the roof, take photos, and tell the homeowner the truth about what is there.

Today the company replaces and repairs roofs and installs siding, windows, doors, gutters and skylights, and it is registered with the Delaware Department of Labor under Certificate No. DE-2026-000015163. When he is not meeting with homeowners, our founder coaches youth sports.

How We Work

The Home Fortress Roofing & Construction Journey

The same four parts on every roofing project.

  1. 01

    Free Roof Inspection

    We come out, inspect the roof and fly a drone over it. You get photos of what we found so you can see the condition for yourself.

  2. 02

    A Plain Recommendation

    We tell you whether the roof needs a repair or a replacement and why, then give you an estimate for that work. If a repair will do, a repair is what we quote.

  3. 03

    The Work Itself

    On a replacement the crew tears off the old roof, which exposes the decking, and builds the new system from the deck up. Reviewers describe the owner or the operations manager on site during the install, giving updates on progress.

  4. 04

    Cleanup and Walk-Around

    The crew cleans up the property before leaving. Then we walk the finished job with you so you can see the work and ask anything.

I enjoyed working with Randy. Great price. Great work. He was punctual and his crew completed the job in one day. His crew spent close to an hour making sure the property was cleaned up after the job was finished. Randy was on sight during the day to inspect and provide updates on progress. He walked around the job with me upon completion to make sure I was satisfied with the work and clean up. Would highly recommend.

I had Randy from Home Fortress come out to take a look at my roof to make sure we were still in good space after all the storms this year. I really appreciated that he was honest and didn’t try to sell me a whole new roof when I didn’t need one. He found a few loose shingles and some nail pops, took care of the quick repairs, and explained everything clearly. It was refreshing working with someone who was more focused on fixing the problem than making a bigger sale. If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, easy to work with, and trustworthy, I’d definitely recommend Home Fortress.

I had an exceptional experience with Randy and his team from start to finish. The team is professional and courteous, and the project was completed on time. Randy communicated clearly every step of the way and answered my questions immediately. My roofing work was done with safety at the forefront and the work area was kept clean. It's refreshing to work with a company that values customer service, high-quality workmanship, and clear communication. I highly recommend Randy and his team!
