Full GAF Timberline HDZ SG Shingle Roof Replacement | Complete Exterior Repaint with Stucco Repair









This Georgetown home needed a full roof replacement after storm damage. We installed GAF Timberline HDZ SG shingles over new decking, with ProStart starter strips and Cobra ridge venting. The HDZ line handles Central Texas hail and 100-degree summers better than standard three-tab shingles. We finished the exterior with stucco repair, a power wash, and fresh paint on the fascia, soffit, and siding.

The homeowner reached Austin Pro through a family and friend referral passed along by our office staff. The lead came in on June 26, 2023, and we moved it to a prospect the very next day, June 27.
We inspected the roof for hail damage and confirmed the claim would qualify as insurance work. The old comp shingles showed granule loss and wear, and we flagged the decking for a closer look during tear-off.
After working through the insurance scope, 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.
The 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 invoiced and completed on January 24, 2024, then the team power washed and repainted the exterior.
We 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.
We replaced the entire shingle roof on this Georgetown home off County Road 106, then repaired the stucco and repainted the full exterior. The result is a home that sheds hail and handles Texas heat again, with a clean finish top to bottom.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
