Shingle Roofing

GAF

This Round Rock roofing project replaced a storm-damaged shingle roof through an approved insurance claim. We used GAF Timberline HDZ SG architectural shingles, chosen for their wind rating and heat resistance in Central Texas. The layered system paired StormGuard ice and water shield with FeltBuster underlayment for solid leak protection. The result is a durable, code-current roof built to handle Round Rock hail and 100-degree summers.

First Contact

This homeowner was a returning client and reached back out to us on Sept 25, 2023 after a hail storm hit the Blue Spring area. We logged the prospect and lead the same day and started the insurance conversation right away.

Evaluation

We inspected the existing comp roof and found widespread hail bruising on the shingles plus rusted metal accessories. The drip edge, box vents, and chimney chase cover were all past their service life. Our findings lined up with the insurance adjuster's report.

PLanning & Approval

The insurance claim was approved on Sept 29, 2023, and we scoped every line item to match. Selections centered on the full GAF Timberline HDZ SG system so the roof would qualify for the Golden Pledge warranty. We also folded in the garage door, painting, gutters, and interior skylight repair.

Installation

Installation ran across two days starting Jan 17, 2024. The crew tore off the old shingles, dried in the deck with FeltBuster and StormGuard, then set the field shingles with 7,200 coil nails. New drip edge, ridge vent, and a slant back box vent finished the roof.

Completion

Everything wrapped in a single production day, with the skylight sheetrock repair, window screens, and reglazing finishing the punch list. The completed roof is backed by the GAF Golden Pledge Warranty. The insurance file was formally closed on May 9, 2024.

Why did this Blue Spring home need a new roof?

The existing comp roof took a beating from a Central Texas hail storm. The homeowner filed an insurance claim, and we scoped the full replacement to match the adjuster's report.

  • Work completed per the approved insurance scope
  • Old shingles torn off with full haul-off and disposal
  • Lead came from a previous customer who trusted us again
  • Prospect and lead both logged Sept 25, 2023

What did the crew find during inspection?

Once we got on the roof, the hail bruising was clear across the field shingles and the metal accessories. The old drip edge and box vents had rusted, which is common on Round Rock homes built through the 1990s and early 2000s. Hard limestone soil and years of freeze-thaw cycles also loosen fasteners over time, so we planned to re-nail and reseal everything rather than reuse tired parts. Skipping those small metal pieces is where a lot of budget roofers cut corners, and it leads to leaks a season or two later.

  • New ACM galvanized steel drip edge, 2"x2" (10')
  • Air Vent RVG-55 galvanized slant back box vent added
  • Chimney chase cover and cap replaced
  • Skylight tarped during the tear-off to protect the interior

What materials did we use, and why?

We built the roof as a complete GAF system, not a mix of loose parts. That is what the Golden Pledge warranty requires, and it is the honest way to do it. The Timberline HDZ SG shingles hold their color and resist the warping you see on cheaper shingles after a few 100-degree Austin summers. Under them, we ran FeltBuster synthetic felt across the whole deck and doubled up StormGuard ice and water shield in the vulnerable spots. Cedar pollen and blowing rain both find weak seams fast here, so the sealed underlayment layer matters more than most homeowners realize.

  • GAF Timberline HDZ SG architectural shingles across the field
  • GAF ProStart starter strip (120') along the eaves and rakes
  • GAF FeltBuster synthetic underlayment (10 sq)
  • GAF StormGuard ice and water shield (2 sq)
  • GAF Z-Ridge cap shingles (33') and Cobra Rigid Vent 3 ridge vent (4')
  • Geocel 2300 TriPolymer sealant and Rustoleum enamel for metal touch-ups

How did the installation go?

The crew ran the job across two days to keep the workmanship tight. Tear-off, dry-in, and detail work each got their own focused block instead of being rushed.

  • Field shingles set with 1 1/4" distributor-specific coil nails (7,200 count)
  • Underlayment fastened with 1" plastic cap nails (2,000 count)
  • Ridge vent installed for balanced attic exhaust
  • Skylight sheetrock repaired inside after the roof was dry

What else did we handle on this property?

The insurance scope covered more than the roof, so we knocked out several exterior repairs on the same visit. Bundling the trades saved the homeowner extra trip charges and coordination headaches.

  • New garage door installed through Cedar Park Overhead Doors
  • Exterior house painting with materials included
  • Gutters with easy-on gutter guards
  • Window screens, reglazing, and door replacement rounded out the punch list

Frequently asked questions

How long does a full roof replacement take in Round Rock?

Most homes this size finish in one to two days. This one ran two days on purpose so the tear-off, underlayment, and finish details each got proper attention.

Why choose GAF Timberline HDZ for Central Texas?

The HDZ line carries a strong wind rating and handles repeated heat cycles without curling. That matters when your roof sees hail in spring and 100-degree afternoons all summer.

What does this kind of project cost?

This job fell in the $50k–$60k range, though most of that was covered under an approved insurance claim. Pricing shifts with roof size, pitch, and how many extra trades are bundled in.

What warranty comes with the roof?

The homeowner received the GAF Golden Pledge warranty. It is the most complete coverage GAF offers and only qualifies when a certified contractor installs the full system, which we did here.
