Full Apartment Complex GAF Timberline Natural Shadow Roof Replacement | Multi-Building Shingle Roofing Staged Over Several Weeks
This project delivered a complete shingle roof replacement for an apartment complex on North LBJ Drive in San Marcos, TX. We installed GAF Timberline Natural Shadow architectural shingles across all buildings on the property. That product line was chosen for its dimensional strength, wind resistance, and long service life in 100-degree summers. The result is a matched, weather-ready roof system covering the entire complex.

The owner came to us through one of our salesmen who had worked with them on a past project. That first conversation kicked off in mid-July 2024. The scope was clear from the start: a full re-roof of an apartment complex on North LBJ Drive in San Marcos.
Our estimator inspected every building on the property before writing a single line of the scope. We documented each roofing section on its own, noting granule loss and general wear from years of San Marcos sun and hail. The site moved into the prospect stage on August 11, 2024.
A job this size needed careful planning. We built out a full apartment complex estimate covering materials, labor, office fees, and insurance coordination. The owner approved the project on November 5, 2024.
The crew staged the work building by building so tenants kept covered roofs throughout. We tore off the old shingles, checked each deck, and installed the GAF Timberline Natural Shadow system to matched specs. Materials came through ABC Supply Co. Inc.
We wrapped the full install and invoiced the project on December 3, 2024. Every building now carries one uniform, weather-ready roof.
We replaced the shingle roofing across an entire apartment complex on North LBJ Drive in San Marcos, giving every building a fresh, matched GAF roof built for Central Texas weather.
The existing shingles had reached the end of their life. Years of San Marcos sun, wind, and hail had worn the surface granules thin and left the property owner facing repeated repairs. A patch-by-patch approach no longer made sense on a building this size.
Our estimator walked every building before we wrote the scope. Large commercial-scale roofs hide problems that a quick look from the ground misses. On a complex like this, one worn section often signals the same wear everywhere, since all the roofs age under the same sun and the same storms. We documented each roofing section separately so nothing got skipped in the estimate. That upfront detail is what let us plan the job cleanly and avoid change orders mid-install.
We installed GAF Timberline Natural Shadow architectural shingles across the whole property. This is one of the most trusted shingle lines in the country, and it holds up well to the heat and hail we see here. The dimensional design also gives the buildings a cleaner, layered look than flat three-tab shingles.
Heat is the quiet enemy of any roof in San Marcos. A dark shingle surface can climb far past the air temperature on a summer afternoon. Cheaper shingles get brittle and curl under that cycle of daily heating and nightly cooling. The Natural Shadow line is built to flex with those swings, which is why it made sense for a property the owner plans to hold long term. It also stands up better to the hard hail hits that roll through the I-35 corridor.
This was a months-long effort, not a weekend job. Planning ran from summer into fall, and the install itself took multiple weeks across the buildings. We staged the work section by section so tenants kept dry roofs over their heads the whole time.
The complex now wears one clean, uniform roof that reads as a single property again. The owner traded ongoing patch repairs for a long-term system built to shed water, wind, and hail. Every building matches, top to bottom.
This one ran multiple weeks of active install after months of planning. We began the lead process in July 2024 and completed the work by December 3. Large multi-building jobs need staging so no tenant is ever left exposed.
They balance cost, durability, and looks well for our climate. The architectural profile handles heat swings and hail better than basic three-tab shingles. That matters on the I-35 corridor, where storms hit hard.
A full-complex re-roof of this scale falls in the $100k+ range. The exact figure depends on the number of buildings, roof sections, and deck condition found during tear-off. Each section gets measured and priced on its own.
Yes. Austin Pro planned and installed this entire apartment complex roof from inspection through invoicing. We manage the tear-off, materials, labor, and insurance coordination as one project.
