Shingle Roofing

GAF

This Leander shingle roofing project replaced a worn, storm-damaged roof with GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles. We handled the job as an insurance claim, taking the roof down to the deck before installing new underlayment and shingles. GAF HDZ was chosen for its wind rating and its ability to resist granule loss under relentless Texas heat. The finished roof looks sharp and gives the homeowner decades of dependable protection.

First Contact

The homeowner connected with Austin Pro through a family and friend referral passed along by our office staff. That first conversation kicked off on July 5, 2023, right as the insurance claim was getting sorted.

Evaluation

Our team inspected the roof and found consistent storm and heat wear across the field, along with granule loss that ruled out a simple repair. The findings supported a full tear-off and replacement rather than a patch.

PLanning & Approval

The project was approved on July 5, 2023 as an insurance claim. We finalized GAF Timberline HDZ as the shingle choice and set the scope across fifteen line items before ordering materials.

Installation

The crew tore off the old roof, inspected the decking, and installed new underlayment before laying the GAF HDZ shingles. The work spanned multiple days to get every detail right, from field to ridge.

Completion

We wrapped the roof and invoiced on July 27, 2023, leaving the homeowner with a clean, storm-ready shingle system. The project closed out on October 26, 2023, backed by GAF manufacturer coverage and our workmanship.

Project at a glance

  • Service: Full shingle roof replacement
  • Location: High Lonesome, Leander, TX (78641)
  • Vendor & product: GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles
  • Material: Laminated asphalt shingle system, deck to ridge
  • Timeframe: Approved July 5, 2023; completed July 27, 2023
  • Work type: Insurance claim
  • Standout outcome: A wind- and heat-resistant roof built for Central Texas storms

Why did this High Lonesome home need a new roof?

The old roof had taken a beating from years of Leander weather. Hail and hard summer sun had worn the shingles past the point of a simple repair.

This was handled as an insurance job, which is common after a storm season. Once damage passes a certain point, a full replacement protects the home far better than patching.

  • Roof showed age and impact wear across the field
  • Claim approved and set up on July 5, 2023
  • Shingle roofing chosen over repair for long-term value

What did the crew find during inspection?

When our team got up top, the wear was consistent across the whole roof. Granule loss and aging told us a spot fix would only delay the inevitable. A full tear-off was the right call.

We checked the decking after removing the old shingles. That step matters more than most homeowners realize. Any soft or damaged wood under old shingles has to be addressed before new material goes down, or you build a good roof on a weak base.

  • Uniform wear across the roof field
  • Deck inspected once the old layers came off
  • Scope covered line items 1 through 15

What materials did we use, and why?

We installed GAF Timberline HDZ shingles, one of the most trusted architectural shingles for Texas homes. The HDZ line carries a strong wind rating and a layered design that holds up in our climate.

Heat is the real test in Leander. Roofs here bake through 100-degree summers day after day. HDZ shingles are built to resist granule loss and hold their color through that punishment, which keeps the roof looking good and working well for years. The layered build also gives better protection against the hail that rolls through Central Texas most spring seasons. Cheaper three-tab shingles simply don't offer the same defense, and that's the shortcut we steer homeowners away from.

  • Timberline HDZ architectural shingles installed deck to ridge
  • New underlayment laid before shingles
  • Materials supplied through ABC Supply Co. and Home Depot

How did the installation go?

The job ran across multiple working days to do it right. We tore off the old roof, prepped the deck, and installed the new GAF system in sequence.

Our crew worked to keep the site clean throughout, which matters when you've got a full tear-off. The project wrapped and was invoiced on July 27, 2023.

  • Full tear-off before new install
  • Underlayment and shingles installed in order
  • Completed and invoiced the same day, July 27, 2023

What were the results?

The homeowner ended up with a complete, modern shingle roof rated to handle what Central Texas throws at it. The new roof restores both curb appeal and real protection.

  • Fresh architectural shingle roof, edge to ridge
  • Backed by GAF manufacturer coverage
  • Project closed out October 26, 2023

Frequently asked questions

How long does a full shingle roof replacement take?

This project ran over several working days, from tear-off through final cleanup. Weather, roof size, and deck condition all affect the schedule.

Why are GAF HDZ shingles a good fit for Leander?

They resist the granule loss and fading that come with 100-degree summers. Their layered build also stands up better to hail than basic three-tab shingles.

What did this roofing project cost?

This job fell in the $40k–$50k range and was handled as an insurance claim. Full replacements vary with roof size, pitch, and any deck repairs needed.

Is the new roof under warranty?

Yes. GAF backs the Timberline HDZ system with manufacturer coverage, and our workmanship stands behind the install. Reach out to Austin Pro with any follow-up questions.
