Roof Replacement in Tulsa, OK

Roof Replacement Residential Roofing Commercial Roofing All Services

A new roof is more than new shingles. How long it lasts depends on what is underneath and around them: sound decking, proper underlayment, new flashing and enough attic ventilation to keep heat from cooking the shingles.

We tear off to the deck so that any soft wood can be seen and replaced rather than covered up. Your estimate lists materials, ventilation changes and the per-sheet price for decking repairs, so there aren't surprises on install day.

Signs it is time to replace your roof

A few symptoms together say more than any single one. Replacement becomes the sensible choice when you see several of these:

• Shingles that curl, crack or break when lifted.
• Bald areas and heavy granule loss across multiple slopes.
• Leaks that come back in different spots after repairs.
• Sagging or soft decking, which suggests long-term water exposure.
• A patchwork of earlier repairs that no longer match or seal well.
• A roof near the end of its expected service life, or widespread hail damage.

If only one area has failed, read about roof repair first. We would rather sell you the smaller job if it will truly solve the problem.

Roofing materials compared

The right material depends on your budget, your home's style, how long you plan to stay and how much storm exposure you want to plan for. Lifespans below are typical ranges and vary with installation, ventilation and weather.

• Architectural shingles: the most common choice in Tulsa, with broad color options and a typical life of about 20 to 30 years.
• Class 4 impact-rated shingles: tested for impact resistance and sometimes eligible for insurance discounts.
• Metal roofing: higher upfront cost with a long service life, often 40 years or more.
• Standing seam: concealed fasteners and clean lines at the premium end of metal.
• Concrete tile and clay tile: long-lived, but heavy, so framing has to be checked.
• Slate and wood shake: distinctive materials suited to historic or high-end homes.

What a full replacement includes

A roof is a system, and the price should reflect more than the shingles. Your written estimate should spell out each of these items:

• Tear-off of existing layers and disposal of the debris.
• Inspection of the decking, with a stated price for any replacement sheets.
• Underlayment, and ice and water protection at valleys and penetrations.
• Starter strip, drip edge and new flashing rather than reused metal where it has worn out.
• Pipe boots, vents and ridge ventilation sized for your attic.
• Shingles, ridge caps and manufacturer-specified nailing.
• Magnetic nail sweep, cleanup and final walk-through with photos.

When comparing bids, check that each one covers these same items. A low number sometimes means a thinner scope.

How the project runs

Most homes can be completed in one to three days, although large or steep roofs take longer. Before work starts we confirm permits where required, your color choice, the delivery date and the weather outlook. On the day, the crew protects landscaping and tears off a section at a time, so the home is not left open longer than needed. It is wise to move fragile items from walls and attic storage, since vibration and dust are normal. We then walk the finished roof with you, run a magnet across the yard and hand over photos and warranty paperwork.

Ventilation is a common weak point in older Tulsa homes. Hot attics shorten shingle life and raise cooling costs, so we check intake and exhaust and recommend any changes as part of the scope.

Paying for a new roof

Storm-related replacements may be partly covered by insurance, in which case you generally pay your deductible plus any upgrades. See roof insurance claim help for that process. Roofs replaced because of age are usually paid for out of pocket, so getting a roof looked at a year or two before it fails gives you time to plan. Our price list gives planning numbers, and a written estimate replaces those ranges with a real figure for your home.

The right material depends on the building and your plans. Most homes choose asphalt shingles or metal roofing, while historic homes may suit slate or clay tile.
