How It Went
The Journey
From the first phone call to the final walkthrough — what actually happened on this project.
First contact
The homeowner reached out on Feb 18, 2026, as a previous Austin Pro customer. They already trusted our crews, so the first conversation moved quickly. We discussed the storm damage and started the insurance claim process the same day.
Evaluation
We inspected the roof and confirmed storm-related damage that qualified for a full replacement. The findings supported an insurance claim covering the RCV value of the roof. The home showed typical wear seen on aging Austin roofs after hail and high wind.
Planning & approval
The claim moved fast. After the Feb 18 lead, the project was approved on Feb 19, 2026. We selected GAF Timberline HDZ asphalt shingles and coordinated materials through Southern Shingles and Home Depot.
Installation
April 2, 2026Our crew handled the full tear-off and reroof on April 2, 2026. They installed new underlayment and GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in a single day. Working fast kept the home protected from sudden spring storms.
Completion
April 2, 2026The project finished the same day it started, on April 2, 2026. We cleaned the site and inspected the new roof before leaving. The job was invoiced May 6, 2026, and closed May 27, 2026, with a storm-ready GAF roof in place.

The Full Story
Inside This Project
Why did this Austin home need a new roof?
Central Texas storms are hard on roofs. Hail and high wind wear down shingles fast, and older roofs in the 78749 area often show damage after a bad spring season.
This homeowner filed an insurance claim after storm damage. We inspected the roof and confirmed the loss qualified for a full replacement.
- Work type: insurance claim covering the RCV value of the roof
- Lead came in Feb 18, 2026, from a previous customer
- Approved just one day later, on Feb 19, 2026
- Aging roof typical of late-1990s and early-2000s Austin homes
What shingles did we use, and why?
We installed GAF Timberline HDZ asphalt shingles. They are one of the most trusted architectural shingles for Texas weather, and we install them often across Austin.
The HDZ line holds up well against hail and sustained heat. That matters here, where summer days push past 100 degrees for weeks.
- Timberline HDZ architectural shingles with a wide nailing zone
- Strong wind and hail performance for Central Texas storms
- Heat-tolerant design built for 100-degree-plus summers
- Materials sourced through Southern Shingles and Home Depot
How did the installation go?
Our crew completed the tear-off and full reroof in a single day on April 2, 2026. A one-day install keeps the home exposed for as little time as possible.
That speed protects the structure from sudden Texas weather. Spring storms can roll in fast, so we never leave a roof open longer than needed.
- Full tear-off of the old, storm-damaged roof
- New GAF underlayment and Timberline HDZ shingles installed
- Single-day completion: started and finished Apr 2, 2026
- Site cleaned and inspected before crew left
What were the results?
The home now has a fresh, durable roof built to handle hail, wind, and heat. The new GAF system also improves curb appeal across the whole exterior.
Because this ran through insurance, the homeowner's out-of-pocket cost stayed low. The full claim covered the roof's replacement value.
- Storm-ready roof with Timberline HDZ shingles
- Insurance claim handled through Acculynx and QuickBooks Payments
- Project value in the $10k–$15k range, covered by the claim
- Invoiced May 6, 2026, and closed May 27, 2026
If you need metal roofing, gutters, or other exterior work after a storm, our team handles those too. You can reach Austin Pro anytime.
