Full GAF Timberline HDZ Shingle Roof Replacement | Golden Pledge Warranty With Bundled Exterior Repairs









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.

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
We replaced a hail-damaged shingle roof and a worn garage door on this Blue Spring home in Round Rock, TX. The job wrapped over two working days and left the homeowner with a full GAF system backed by the strongest warranty in the trade.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
