Scope of Work
What We Did
Full GAF Timberline HDZ SG Shingle Roof Replacement · Complete Exterior Repaint with Stucco Repair
Shingle Roofing
This Georgetown, TX shingle roofing project started with a complete tear-off and haul-away of the old comp roof. We installed GAF Timberline HDZ asphalt shingles over new decking, FeltBuster underlayment, and StormGuard ice and water shield. HDZ shingles hold up well against Central Texas hail and 100-degree summers, which is why we trust them here. The Cobra ridge vent improves attic airflow, and the finished roof is backed by the GAF Golden Pledge Warranty.

For this exterior painting job in Georgetown, TX, we started by power washing the whole house. We then repaired the stucco and handled needed carpentry work before painting. We used Sherwin Williams exterior paint on the fascia, soffit, and siding for strong color and weather resistance. Proper prep matters here, since cedar pollen and intense sun can wear down paint that skips those steps.

How It Went
The Journey
From the first phone call to the final walkthrough — what actually happened on this project.
First contact
June 26, 2023The homeowner reached Austin Pro through a family and friend referral passed along by our office staff. Their request came in on June 26, 2023, and we started scoping the project the very next day, June 27.
Evaluation
We inspected the roof and documented the hail damage for the homeowner's insurance claim. The old comp shingles showed granule loss and wear, and we flagged the decking for a closer look during tear-off.
Planning & approval
October 25, 2023Once the insurance scope was set, the project was approved on October 25, 2023. We finalized the shingle color, the GAF product package, and the exterior paint plan covering stucco repair and carpentry.
Installation
January 24, 2024The crew tore off the old roof, replaced failed OSB decking, and installed GAF Timberline HDZ SG shingles with new underlayment and ridge venting. Work was completed on January 24, 2024, then the team power washed and repainted the exterior.
Completion
January 24, 2024We completed the roof and exterior painting on January 24, 2024, then walked the property to confirm flashing, venting, and paint were clean. The GAF Golden Pledge warranty backs the finished roof, and the job formally closed on May 16, 2024.

The Full Story
Inside This Project
Why did this Georgetown home need a new roof?
The roof took hail damage, which is why this ran as an insurance job. Central Texas storms chew through aging comp shingles fast, and once the granules go, the mat underneath bakes in the sun.
- Old comp shingles were torn off and hauled away
- This was an insurance claim job
- Homeowner reached out June 26, 2023; approved October 25, 2023
- Project value fell in the $60k–$75k range across both trades
What did the crew find during tear-off?
Once we pulled the old shingles, we checked the decking board by board. That step matters more than most homeowners realize. Hail and years of heat cycling can leave the roof looking fine from the ground while the wood underneath has soft spots or nail pops. We replaced damaged sheathing with fresh 7/16" x 4' x 8' OSB before a single new shingle went down. Skipping that check is the most common shortcut a cheap roofer takes, and it always shows up as a leak two summers later.
- New OSB decking installed where boards had failed
- Deck re-nailed to current code before dry-in
- Geocel 2300 TriPolymer sealant used at flashing joints
What materials did we use, and why?
We chose GAF Timberline HDZ SG shingles because they hold up to our climate. The HDZ layup resists uplift, and the thicker profile takes a hail hit better than a basic three-tab. That's a real advantage in Georgetown, where cedar pollen, limestone dust, and 100-degree summers all wear on a roof at once.
- GAF ProStart starter strip along the eaves (120')
- GAF FeltBuster synthetic underlayment (10 squares)
- GAF StormGuard ice and water shield in valleys and vulnerable spots (2 squares)
- GAF Z-Ridge cap shingles (33')
- GAF Cobra Rigid Vent 3 ridge exhaust venting (9", plus slant-back box vents)
- ACM galvanized steel drip edge (2"x2") and new pipe flashing throughout
How did the roof and paint work go?
This was a multi-day job because we handled two full trades. The roof went down first with new venting balanced for proper attic airflow. Then the crew moved to the exterior.
- Roof fastened with 1 1/4" coil nails (7,200 count) and 1" plastic cap nails (2,000 count)
- Ridge and box venting set to release trapped attic heat
- Slant-back box vents added for extra exhaust
What did the exterior painting include?
We power washed the whole house before painting to strip off cedar pollen and grime. Clean stucco is the only surface that holds paint through a Texas summer.
- Stucco repair and carpentry work before painting
- Fresh paint on fascia, soffit, and siding
- Sherwin Williams products used for the exterior coat
Straight Answers
Questions About This Project
How long does a roof and exterior paint job like this take?
This one ran multiple days because it combined a full tear-off with stucco repair and a complete repaint. The install work happened in January 2024, after an October approval.
Why pick architectural shingles over three-tab in Central Texas?
Architectural shingles like the HDZ line have a thicker, layered build that resists hail bruising and wind uplift. Given how often Georgetown sees spring storms, the extra durability pays off over the life of the roof.
What warranty came with this roof?
The roof carries the GAF Golden Pledge warranty, which is the top coverage GAF offers. It covers both materials and workmanship when installed by a certified contractor.
Does painting the exterior really need to happen after a roof job?
Doing both together saves setup and access time, and it lets us repair stucco and carpentry damage before the fresh coat goes on. It also means one clean, finished look instead of patching the paint later.
