Full GAF Timberline HDZ Hail Replacement Roof with Insurance Claim Handled | 8.25" Select Cedar Mill Siding Finished in Sherwin Williams SuperPaint
We replaced this Austin home's storm-damaged roof with GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles. Hail had totaled the original roof, so we handled the full insurance claim start to finish. The Timberline HDZ line holds up to Central Texas hail and 100-degree summer heat. The tear-off and reroof took only two days.

We installed 8.25" Select Cedar Mill lap siding in both primed and factory-primed profiles on this Enclave at Milwood home. The work ran over several days in early December 2023. We then coated the siding, fascia, soffit, and doors with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint. The result is a crisp, sealed exterior built for Austin weather.
The homeowner found Austin Pro through an internet search and reached out about siding. That first contact came in on Aug 17, 2023. They signed on for the siding work and moved into our schedule as a prospect on Aug 24, 2023.
While the homeowner was waiting for the siding start, a hail storm came through and hammered the roof. We inspected it and found impact bruising and granule loss consistent with a total loss. That finding shifted the whole project scope from siding-only to roofing plus siding.
We approved the revised plan on Aug 28, 2023 and opened a full insurance claim on the homeowner's behalf. We worked with the adjuster to get the totaled roof covered. Because the siding crew had a wait, we resequenced the job to put the GAF roof on first.
The GAF Timberline HDZ roof went on fast — a full tear-off and reroof done in two days. The siding crew then installed the 8.25" Select Cedar Mill lap boards over multiple days in early December 2023. Paint work with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint started shortly after the siding was up.
We wrapped the roof, siding, fascia, soffit, and doors and completed the project on Dec 12, 2023. The home went from a storm-damaged mess to a fully refreshed exterior.
We replaced a hail-totaled roof and installed new cedar-mill siding on this home in The Enclave at Milwood, Austin, TX. The result: a fresh GAF shingle roof plus a fully painted, weather-ready exterior — with the entire insurance claim handled for the homeowner.
The homeowner had already signed with us for siding and was waiting for that work to begin. Then a hail storm rolled through and totaled the roof. That changed the whole plan.
We reached out right away and offered to handle the insurance claim in full. Since the siding crew had a wait anyway, we flipped the order and put the roof on first.
Central Texas hail is rough on aging asphalt shingles, and this roof took a beating. The impact bruising and granule loss were enough for the insurance adjuster to call it a total loss. That is common here after a strong spring or summer storm.
Once a roof is totaled, spot repairs don't cut it. Mismatched patches and thinning shingles just fail again in the next storm. A full tear-off and reroof was the right call, and the claim covered it.
We chose GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles for the reroof. These are a proven pick for Austin roofs that face both 100-degree-plus summers and hard hail seasons. The HDZ layered design gives better wind and impact resistance than a basic three-tab shingle. That matters a lot in the 78727 area, where storms come through most years.
For the siding, we ran 8.25" Select Cedar Mill lap boards. We used both primed and factory-primed profiles across the elevations. The cedar-mill texture gives a natural wood grain look without the maintenance headaches real cedar brings in our climate. Real cedar splits and cups under Austin heat and cedar pollen buildup — the engineered boards hold their shape and take paint far better.
After the siding was up, we moved to paint within a few days. We coated the new boards, the fascia and soffit, and the doors for a complete, sealed exterior. A good paint job is what locks siding against Austin's UV and humidity swings.
We used Sherwin Williams SuperPaint for the exterior painting. It's a workhorse coating that holds color and resists fading through our long, hot summers.
The homeowner ended up with a brand-new roof they hadn't planned for, plus the siding and paint they originally wanted. The roof went from totaled to fully replaced in a two-day install. The exterior now reads as a fresh, cohesive rebuild rather than a patch job.
This reroof took two days from tear-off to cleanup. Most single-family homes in neighborhoods like The Enclave at Milwood fall in that one-to-three day range, weather permitting.
Yes. On this job we managed the full claim after the storm totaled the roof. We work directly with the adjuster so the homeowner isn't stuck sorting it out alone.
Real cedar looks great but struggles in Central Texas heat and pollen — it cups, splits, and needs constant upkeep. The 8.25" Select Cedar Mill boards give you that wood-grain look with far less maintenance and better paint hold.
This combined roofing, siding, and paint project fell in the $25,000 to $30,000 range. Because the roof was covered under an insurance claim, the out-of-pocket picture looked very different from a standalone reroof.
