Scope of Work

What We Did

Impact-Rated GAF Timberline Armor Shield II Roof Replacement · Oversized NT Windows Three-Light Vinyl Slider Installation

Shingle Roofing

This Austin home got a full shingle roof replacement using GAF Timberline ArmorShield II. The crew installed the asphalt shingles over two days in the Avery Ranch neighborhood. We chose an impact-rated product because Central Texas hail is hard on 2000s-era roofs. The result is a tougher, longer-lasting roof that helps hold up through storm season.

Windows

This Austin project included full vinyl replacement windows from NT Windows in Avery Ranch. The scope covered an oversized three-light slider running over 120 united inches. We picked vinyl because it holds up well against 100-degree summers without warping. Our crew removed the old windows, installed the new ones over multiple days, and hauled off the debris.

How It Went

The Journey

From the first phone call to the final walkthrough — what actually happened on this project.

First contact

The homeowner found Austin Pro through an online search and reached out on Sep 26, 2023, after suspecting storm damage. The conversation quickly pointed toward an insurance claim covering both the roof and some failing windows.

Evaluation

Our crew inspected the roof and found hail bruising and granule loss across the field, along with aging windows due for replacement. The damage was documented slope by slope to support the insurance claim by Sep 28, 2023.

Planning & approval

The project was approved on Sep 28, 2023, just two days after first contact. We finalized selections for GAF Timberline Armor Shield II shingles and NT Windows vinyl replacements, including the oversized three-light slider that needed careful measuring.

Installation

On Feb 2, 2024, the crew completed a full tear-off and installed the new GAF shingles and underlayment. The old windows were removed and hauled off, then the new vinyl units, including the oversized slider, were set square into the openings.

Completion

Both the roof and windows were finished the same day, Feb 2, 2024. After a final walkthrough, the job was invoiced and closed on Feb 22, 2024, leaving the home with a hail-rated roof and energy-efficient windows.

The Full Story

Inside This Project

Why did this Austin home need a new roof?

This started as an insurance claim after storm damage. The homeowner found us online in late September and reached out for a roof inspection.

Central Texas gets hammered by hail most spring seasons. Older asphalt roofs lose granules fast under that kind of impact.

Work type: insurance claim, opened as a lead on Sep 26, 2023
Roofline typical of late-1990s Avery Ranch construction
Damage consistent with hail and wind, common for this ZIP
Approved for full replacement within two days of first contact

What did we find during the roof inspection?

When the crew climbed up, the shingles showed clear bruising and granule loss across the field. That kind of damage weakens the mat underneath and lets water creep in over time. Many homeowners here try to patch a few visible spots and call it done. The problem is that hail damage rarely stays in one place, and a partial fix leaves the rest of the roof aging unevenly. We documented the full slope for the claim and recommended a complete tear-off instead of an overlay.

What materials did we use, and why?

We installed GAF Timberline Armor Shield II asphalt shingles across the whole roof. These are impact-rated shingles built to take hail without the granule loss you see on standard three-tabs.

That choice matters in a place like Austin. Between the hail and 100-degree-plus summers, a roof here works harder than in most of the country. The Armor Shield II line handles both.

How did the window replacement fit in?

The same job covered a window replacement using NT Windows vinyl units. Vinyl frames were the right call for this home because they resist the warping and swelling that Austin heat causes in older frames.

The standout piece was an oversized three-light slider running over 120 united inches. That size takes extra planning to measure, order, and set square. We removed the old windows, hauled them off, and fit the new vinyl replacements cleanly into the openings.

What were the results?

The home came out of this job with a tougher shell top to bottom. The roof now shrugs off hail, and the new windows cut drafts and outside noise.

Straight Answers

Questions About This Project

How long did the whole project take?

The roof and window work were both wrapped on Feb 2, 2024. The longer timeline ran from the September claim approval through winter scheduling, which is normal for insurance-driven jobs.

Why pick impact-rated shingles for an Austin home?

Hail is the biggest threat to roofs in this region. Impact-rated GAF shingles hold their granules better under those strikes, which slows aging and can help with insurance considerations.

Is vinyl a good window choice in Texas heat?

Yes. Vinyl frames don't warp or rot the way older materials can, and they insulate well against long, hot summers. That makes them a solid, low-upkeep fit for homes across the 78717 area.

What did this project cost?

This job fell in the $50k–$60k range, covering both the full roof replacement and the window work. As an insurance claim, much of it was tied to documented storm damage rather than a from-scratch upgrade.
