Shingle Roofing

GAF

This Liberty Hill shingle roofing job was a complete tear-off and replacement. We used GAF Timberline HDZ asphalt shingles, chosen for their strong wind rating and hail resistance. The system was layered with FeltBuster synthetic underlayment and StormGuard ice-and-water shield for full protection. That build matters here, where 100-degree summers and hard hail test a roof every year.

First Contact

The homeowner reached out on Sep 18, 2023, through a referral from a previous Austin Pro customer. Our salesman handled the first conversation and confirmed the roof was a candidate for an insurance claim after recent storm activity.

Evaluation

We inspected the existing comp shingle roof and found heat aging plus hail bruising across the field. The roof deck itself checked out as solid, so the scope focused on a full tear-off and new system rather than deck repair.

PLanning & Approval

The estimate was approved on Sep 20, 2023, just two days after first contact. We aligned the scope with the insurance claim and locked in the GAF Timberline HDZ system with a Golden Pledge warranty.

Installation

The crew completed the full tear-off and reroof in one day on Nov 2, 2023. Work included FeltBuster synthetic underlayment, StormGuard ice-and-water shield, ProStart starter, Z-Ridge caps, and new galvanized drip edge, with the satellite dish detached and reset.

Completion

The job was invoiced and completed the same day, Nov 2, 2023, with the site cleaned of debris. The file closed on Nov 16, 2023, and the home is now covered by GAF's Golden Pledge warranty on materials and workmanship.

Project at a glance

  • Service: Full shingle roofing tear-off and replacement
  • Location: Liberty Hill, TX 78642
  • Vendor & product: GAF asphalt shingles
  • Material: Timberline HDZ architectural shingles
  • Timeframe: Approved Sep 20, 2023; installed and finished Nov 2, 2023
  • Standout outcome: A sealed, hail-ready roof with layered synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water protection

Why did this Liberty Hill home need a new roof?

The old comp shingle roof had reached the end of its service life, and storm damage sealed the decision. This was an insurance-based project, so we worked the scope to match what the roof actually needed.

  • Work type: insurance claim, approved Sep 20, 2023
  • Old shingles fully removed, hauled off, and disposed
  • Lead came in Sep 18 from a previous customer referral
  • Project value range: $10k–$15k

What did we find during the inspection?

Once we got up top, the pattern was familiar for homes in this part of Central Texas. Years of 100-degree summers had baked the old shingles brittle, and hail had bruised the mat in spots. That kind of damage often hides under a roof that still looks fine from the driveway. A homeowner without a trained eye can easily miss it until a leak shows up inside. We documented the wear, confirmed the deck was sound, and built the new system to stand up to the next round of Texas weather.

  • Existing comp shingles showed heat aging and hail bruising
  • Roof deck inspected before any new material went down
  • Satellite dish detached and reset as part of the job

What materials did we use, and why?

The heart of this roof is the GAF Timberline HDZ shingle, paired with a full protection package underneath. We don't just nail shingles to bare wood. Every layer here has a job.

We started with GAF FeltBuster synthetic underlayment across 10 squares, which sheds water far better than old felt and won't wrinkle in the heat. Then we ran StormGuard ice-and-water shield across the vulnerable spots, 2 squares' worth, to seal against wind-driven rain. The Timberline HDZ shingles were fastened with 1 1/4-inch coil nails, 7,200 of them, for a grip that holds through gusty storm fronts. That layered build is what makes the difference in Liberty Hill's mix of heat, hail, and sudden downpours.

  • GAF ProStart starter strip along the eaves (120')
  • GAF Z-Ridge ridge cap shingles (33')
  • ACM galvanized steel drip edge, 2"x2" (10')
  • Modified bitumen flashing and Geocel 2300 sealant for tight penetrations

How did the installation go?

The crew knocked out the full tear-off and reroof in one day on Nov 2, 2023. A same-day turnaround keeps the deck from sitting exposed to surprise weather.

  • Plastic cap nails (1") secured the underlayment
  • Rustoleum protective enamel used to touch up exposed metal
  • Site cleaned and cleared of debris before crew left

What were the results?

The home now carries a complete GAF roofing system with a Golden Pledge warranty, one of the strongest coverages in the industry. Every layer, from starter to ridge, came from a matched product line.

  • Invoiced and completed Nov 2, 2023
  • File closed Nov 16, 2023
  • Backed by GAF's Golden Pledge workmanship and material warranty

Frequently asked questions

How long does a shingle roof replacement take?

This one was a single-day job, done Nov 2, 2023. Most homes this size finish in a day when the deck is sound and the weather cooperates.

Are GAF Timberline HDZ shingles good for Central Texas weather?

Yes. Their high wind rating and impact resistance suit our hail seasons, and the mat holds up well under repeated 100-degree summers that age lesser shingles fast.

What does the Golden Pledge warranty cover?

It covers both the GAF materials and our workmanship, which is a step above a standard shingle warranty. That extra coverage is why we install the full matched system instead of mixing brands.

Can insurance pay for a roof like this?

Often, yes. This project ran as an insurance claim, approved just two days after the lead came in, and landed in the $10k–$15k range.
