Complete Hail Damage Roof Replacement in South Austin
This South Austin homeowner discovered what a 15-year-old roof looks like after repeated exposure to Central Texas hailstorms. After enduring years of severe weather in the Austin area, the roof sustained significant hail damage that compromised the roof’s integrity and created immediate leak concerns.
When the homeowner contacted Driftwood Builders Roofing, their primary concerns were clear: stop the active leaks, address the extensive hail damage, and ensure the replacement would be completed correctly with quality materials. The aging roof had served well for over a decade, but the cumulative impact of hail storms, intense Texas sun, and high winds meant it was time for a complete replacement.
After a comprehensive inspection, our GAF Master Elite certified team identified widespread damage including compromised shingles, missing granules, damaged flashing, and areas where water had begun penetrating the roof deck. What this homeowner needed wasn’t just a quick patch job—they needed a complete roof replacement system that could stand up to Central Texas weather for the next 20+ years.
As one of the few GAF Master Elite contractors serving South Austin since 2005, we understood the urgency. The homeowner mentioned they should have addressed this issue three years ago, but getting it done now meant stopping the damage before it affected the home’s interior structure. Our team moved quickly to provide a no-deposit solution that would deliver immediate relief from leaks and long-term protection.
The project encompassed complete tear-off of the old roofing system, thorough deck inspection and repair, installation of premium underlayment, and installation of GAF’s industry-leading roofing materials designed specifically for the demanding Texas climate.

Aging Roof with Hail Damage

Ground-level inspection confirmed the homeowner’s concerns about imminent leaks and deteriorating weather protection.

This critical step allowed us to identify and repair any structural damage before installing the new system. Proper preparation ensures the new roof will perform flawlessly for decades to come.
