Austin First Church — Del Valle, TX

Project Overview

Restoration General Contractors completed a complex hail damage restoration project for Austin First Church at 4557 Highway 71 East in Del Valle, Texas. The church sustained significant hail damage, resulting in a $360,000 Church Mutual claim that was initially denied before being successfully supported through detailed documentation, scope development, and claim advocacy.

The Challenge

This was not a simple roof replacement. The project required careful planning around an active church campus, including coordination with parishioners, worship services, weekly ministry activities, and staff schedules to minimize disruption. One of the most technically demanding parts of the job involved the careful removal and resetting of the church’s massive steeple, requiring precision, safety planning, and close coordination between roofing crews and specialty trades.

Our Solution and Impact

Our team managed the restoration from claim support through construction, addressing the storm-related damage while protecting the church’s operations and maintaining a safe environment for the congregation. Austin First Church is a strong example of our ability to handle not only the insurance side of a denied hail claim, but also the complex construction logistics that come with restoring an active house of worship.
