Shingle Roofing

GAF

This shingle roofing project in Austin, TX covered a full tear-off and replacement through an insurance claim. We installed GAF Timberline HDZ asphalt shingles, a proven pick for local hail and 100-degree summers. The HDZ line resists granule loss and holds up under sudden Texas storms better than older three-tab shingles. The crew finished the whole system in one day, leaving a clean, watertight roof ready for the next hail season.

First Contact

The homeowner reached out to Austin Pro through a referral from a past customer, with the lead logged on September 12, 2023. The first conversation focused on visible storm damage and whether it would qualify for an insurance claim.

Evaluation

We inspected the roof and confirmed hail and storm damage consistent with an insurance claim. The file moved to prospect status on September 18, 2023, backed by clear documentation of the shingle wear and bruising.

PLanning & Approval

The insurance claim was approved on September 19, 2023, just a day after reaching prospect. We finalized the scope for a full tear-off and GAF Timberline HDZ replacement, with materials sourced through ABC Supply Co.

Installation

The crew, led by Danny Ramirez, completed the full tear-off and new GAF Timberline HDZ system in a single day on November 9, 2023. The entire job was tracked through Acculynx from start to cleanup.

Completion

After a final walkthrough, the home was left with a clean, watertight roof rated for Austin hail and heat. The project was invoiced on November 13, 2023 and closed out on November 30, 2023, backed by GAF's manufacturer warranty.

Why did this Austin home need a new roof?

Central Texas storms had beaten up the existing shingles, and the damage qualified for an insurance claim. The homeowner came to us through a referral, which tells you plenty about how these jobs go when they're done right.

  • Work type filed as an insurance claim
  • Lead came in Sept 12, 2023
  • Referral source: a past Austin Pro customer
  • Aging shingles common on homes built in the 1980s–2000s

What did we find during the inspection?

We walked the roof after the lead came in and confirmed storm damage that lined up with an insurance claim. Hail in this part of Austin does two things to an asphalt roof. It knocks the protective granules loose, and it bruises the mat underneath where you can't always see it from the ground. That hidden bruising is exactly what homeowners miss when they try to judge damage themselves. A bruised shingle may look fine for a season, then start leaking once the summer heat and the next round of storms finish the job. Our documentation moved the file from prospect on Sept 18 to approved on Sept 19.

What materials did we use, and why?

We installed a full GAF Timberline HDZ system, the shingle we reach for most on Austin homes. The HDZ line uses GAF's LayerLock technology and a wider nailing zone, which speeds up install and locks each shingle down tight. That grip matters here. Our summers push past 100 degrees, and heat cycling loosens roofs that were never fastened well in the first place. The HDZ shingle also carries strong wind and impact ratings, which is what you want when a hail cell rolls through Spicewood without much warning. Cedar pollen and grit build up on any roof in this area, and the HDZ granule surface sheds it cleaner than worn three-tab shingles.

  • Material: Timberline HDZ architectural asphalt shingles
  • LayerLock design with a wide nailing zone
  • Rated for high wind and hail impact
  • Roofing materials supplied through ABC Supply Co.

How did the installation go?

We scheduled the tear-off and rebuild as a one-day job, and the crew held to it. Everything from strip-off to final cleanup happened on November 9, 2023.

  • Complete tear-off of the old roof
  • New GAF underlayment and shingle system installed same day
  • Field crew led by Danny Ramirez
  • Job tracked and managed through Acculynx

What were the results?

The home now carries a fresh, watertight roof rated for the storms that hit this ZIP every spring. The value landed in the $15k–$20k range, handled through the insurance claim.

  • Full system replaced in a single day
  • Invoiced Nov 13, 2023; file closed Nov 30, 2023
  • Backed by GAF's manufacturer warranty coverage

If your roof took a hit this season, the same team handles metal roofing and gutters too, so the whole water path off your roof gets addressed at once.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a shingle roof replacement take in Austin?

Many homes finish in a single day, like this one did on Nov 9. Tear-off, dry-in, and shingle install all happened between sunup and cleanup.

Why choose GAF Timberline HDZ for a Central Texas roof?

The shingle's wide nailing zone and impact rating hold up well against local hail and heat. That combination gives you a roof less likely to lift or lose granules over a hot Austin summer.

Can insurance cover a storm-damaged roof?

Yes. This project ran as an insurance claim, moving from inspection to approval in about a week during September 2023. Good photo documentation is what keeps a claim moving.

What does a roof replacement like this cost?

This job fell in the $15k–$20k range. Final numbers depend on roof size, pitch, and what your inspection turns up underneath the old shingles.
