Frequently Asked Questions

The lifespan of a roof depends on the materials used and local weather conditions. Asphalt shingles typically last 15-30 years, while metal roofs can last 40-70 years. Here in Oklahoma, with our extreme weather including hail and high winds, regular maintenance is key to maximizing your roof's lifespan. We recommend annual inspections to catch small issues before they become major problems.

Several factors determine whether repair or replacement is best: the age of your roof, extent of damage, and number of previous repairs. If your roof is less than 15 years old with isolated damage, repairs are usually sufficient. However, if you're experiencing widespread issues, multiple leaks, or your roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. Our free inspections will give you an honest assessment.

Most homeowner's insurance policies cover roof damage caused by sudden events like storms, hail, fallen trees, and fire. However, damage from normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is typically not covered. We have extensive experience working with insurance companies and can help guide you through the claims process. We'll document the damage and work directly with your adjuster to ensure you receive fair compensation.

After a storm, look for these warning signs: missing or damaged shingles, dents on metal flashing or gutters (indicating hail), granules accumulating in gutters, water stains on ceilings or walls, and debris on the roof. Even if you don't see visible damage from the ground, hail can cause hidden damage that leads to leaks later. We offer free storm damage inspections to identify all issues.

Most residential roof replacements take 1-3 days depending on the size and complexity of your roof, weather conditions, and the type of materials being installed. Simple shingle roofs on standard homes can often be completed in a single day. More complex roofs with multiple peaks, skylights, or premium materials may take longer. We'll provide a detailed timeline before starting any project.

Oklahoma's weather presents unique challenges with hail, high winds, and temperature extremes. Impact-resistant shingles (Class 3 or Class 4) are excellent choices as they're designed to withstand hail damage and may qualify you for insurance discounts. Metal roofing is another great option for its durability and wind resistance. For flat commercial roofs, TPO and modified bitumen systems perform well in our climate.

Yes! We understand that roof replacement is a significant investment. We offer flexible financing options to help make your new roof affordable. We can discuss payment plans and financing during your free estimate. We also work with insurance companies when applicable, and in many storm damage cases, you may only be responsible for your deductible.

We stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties. Our workmanship warranty covers installation defects, while manufacturer warranties cover the roofing materials themselves. Premium shingles often come with 25-50 year manufacturer warranties. We're also certified installers for major manufacturers, which allows us to offer extended warranty coverage. We'll explain all warranty options during your consultation.

We recommend having your roof professionally inspected at least once a year, preferably in spring or fall. Additionally, you should schedule an inspection after any major storm. Regular inspections help identify small issues before they become expensive problems. Our inspections are free and include a detailed report on your roof's condition with photos and recommendations.

Yes, we can perform roofing work in winter, though there are some considerations. Most shingle manufacturers recommend installation when temperatures are above 40°F for proper adhesive sealing. However, emergency repairs and many types of work can be done year-round. We closely monitor weather conditions and will advise you on the best timing for your project to ensure quality results.
