Roof Replacement in Oklahoma City, OK

When a roof is past repair — too many wear-and-tear failures, hail damage that totaled the surface, or original-build shingles that have hit end-of-life — replacement is the only honest answer. We tell you that on the inspection. We don't patch a roof that needs to come off.

• Full tear-off to the deck (we do not install over an existing layer except in the rare cases code permits it and the deck is documented sound)
• Deck repair where rotted, delaminated, or damaged sheathing is found — this is almost always missed by storm-chaser bids
• Proper underlayment: synthetic, with Grace ice-and-water shield in valleys, eaves, and around all penetrations per current Oklahoma IRC
• Drip edge installation per code (this is a common omission on cheap installs)
• Flashing replacement at chimney, sidewall, valleys, and plumbing boots — not reuse of the old flashing
• Proper ridge ventilation balanced with soffit intake (warranty validity depends on this)
• Six-nail fastening pattern per high-wind manufacturer spec
• Final inspection walk-through with the homeowner before crew leaves

For most OKC-metro homes, the right answer is an architectural-grade asphalt shingle in Class 4 impact-rated form. Class 4 is the highest UL impact rating available, and most Oklahoma carriers offer a 5–25% premium discount on the wind-and-hail portion of your policy when you upgrade. Over a 20-year roof life that discount typically pays the upgrade cost back twice. Standard architectural shingles are still a strong choice for tighter budgets.

Metal roofing — standing-seam aluminum or steel — is a premium option that lasts 40–50 years and handles hail better than asphalt at any impact rating. The upfront cost is roughly double, but for forever-home owners on the OKC metro's storm-prone west and south sides, the math works.

Oklahoma City requires a roofing permit for any work over 500 square feet. We pull every permit, schedule the inspections, and never start work without the paperwork in hand. Most single-family roofs are tear-off-to-finish in 1–2 days with a 6-person crew. Larger homes with steep pitches or complex geometries can stretch to 3 days.
