Full GAF Timberline HDZ Roof Replacement | GAF Golden Pledge Warranty Registration
This shingle roofing project in Austin, TX replaced a hail-worn roof with the GAF Timberline HDZ SG system. We chose these architectural asphalt shingles for their proven hold-up against Central Texas hail and 100-degree summers. The install included synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, and upgraded ridge ventilation. Completed as an insurance claim, the roof is backed by the GAF Golden Pledge warranty.

The homeowner found us through a customer referral, with the lead first logged on May 23, 2023. That referral trust matters on a roofing job, since so much of the work sits out of sight once it's done. Early talks centered on storm damage and filing through insurance.
We inspected the aging comp shingle roof and documented the hail-related damage for the insurance claim. The assessment confirmed the deck and fastening needed a full replacement rather than a patch. Findings were written to align with the approved insurance scope.
The project moved to approved status on March 4, 2024, once the insurance scope was set. We finalized the GAF Timberline HDZ SG system, the ridge and box venting plan, and the gutter detach-and-reset. Material orders ran through ABC Supply Co. and Home Depot.
On May 20, 2024, the crew tore off the old roof, hauled it away, and dried in the deck with FeltBuster underlayment and StormGuard ice and water shield. They set 120 feet of ProStart starter, ran the Timberline HDZ field, and capped the ridge with Z-Ridge. New drip edge, pipe flashing, and a Cobra ridge vent finished the system.
We reset the gutters, cleaned up the site, and walked the finished roof the same day it was completed. The roof is registered for the GAF Golden Pledge warranty for lasting material and workmanship coverage.
We stripped a storm-battered roof down to the deck in northwest Austin and rebuilt it in a single day with the GAF Timberline HDZ system. The homeowner walked away with a tighter, better-vented roof and the strongest warranty GAF offers.
This was an insurance job. The old comp shingles had taken a beating from Central Texas hail, and the roof was no longer sealing the way it should.
Homes across the 78729 ZIP were built through the 1980s and 1990s, so many roofs in this pocket are aging out at the same time. A referral customer sent this homeowner our way.
Pulling the old shingles told the real story. Once the comp layer came off, we could see how the deck had been drying out under years of 100-degree summer heat and pounding storms. The nailing on the old roof was inconsistent, which is common on older Austin homes and a big reason wind can lift shingles early. We reset the fasteners properly this time, using 7,200 roofing coil nails at 1 1/4 inches so every shingle bit into solid decking. That detail is the one most homeowners never see, but it decides whether a roof lasts fifteen years or thirty.
We built the roof as a full GAF system, not a shingle-only swap. The Timberline HDZ SG shingle has a wide nailing zone that speeds accurate placement and improves wind hold-up, which matters when spring storms roll through.
Underneath, we layered protection that handles both heat and water:
Good venting keeps an attic from cooking, which protects both the shingles and your cooling bill. We upgraded the exhaust with a ridge vent plus a box vent to pull hot air out.
We detached and reset the existing gutters so the new drip edge and shingle courses tucked in cleanly. Doing this the right way stops water from sneaking behind the fascia during heavy Texas downpours.
The home now has a complete, factory-spec GAF roof installed by a certified crew. That certification is what let us register the Golden Pledge warranty, which covers both materials and our workmanship for the long haul.
The laminate build stands up to hail and holds its seal through 100-degree summer heat. Its wide nailing zone also helps the crew fasten each shingle accurately, which improves wind resistance during spring storms.
The full tear-off and rebuild happened in a single day on May 20, 2024. Same-day completion keeps the home dried in and protected before nightfall.
This job fell in the $20k to $25k range and was handled as an insurance claim. Final numbers vary with roof size, pitch, and the approved insurance scope.
The roof is registered under the GAF Golden Pledge warranty, GAF's highest tier. It covers both the roofing materials and our installation workmanship.
