With more than 600 completed projects across three states, Shepherd Response has earned a reputation for excellence in disaster recovery construction. We bring deep program knowledge, rapid mobilization, and proven performance under programs like HMA, HMGP, and CDBG-DR. Our veteran-led team delivers work that meets the moment—whether that’s lifting a home after a flood or rebuilding entire communities after disaster strikes.

Specialized Disaster Recovery Services

We focus exclusively on disaster-driven scopes of work - where urgency, accuracy, and compliance are non-negotiable.
Our services include:

Construction excavator ripping apart debris on a building site with dust in the air, surrounded by houses, trees, and a chain-link fence.
Newly built, light blue two-story house with a wooden staircase and porch, brick foundation, white trim, and surrounding dirt and grass area.
Newly built house with a brick foundation, white siding, a porch with wooden railing, and a ramp leading up to the entrance, under a partly cloudy sky.
A newly built raised cottage with light blue siding, white trim, and a small front porch with stairs, situated in a wooded area with a gravel and dirt driveway in the foreground.
A beige and white manufactured home with a small wooden staircase leading to the front door, under a partly cloudy sky.

Results That Speak for Themselves

In just six months, our team successfully elevated 27 homes along the Outer Banks of North Carolina—ranging from older MHUs to waterfront brick homes. We navigated complex CAMA permitting, adapted to varying soil types and foundation designs, and executed every lift with precision. That’s the kind of real-world experience we bring to every project.
