Hail and storm damage roofing for Broken Arrow and Tulsa County
Tulsa County has logged 391 spotter hail reports since 2004, and May alone accounts for 142 of them. We inspect with chalk and a camera, tarp what's open, and give you a written report your adjuster will recognize.
A hailstone the size of a quarter, falling at 60 miles an hour, doesn't tear a shingle — it bruises it. The granules knock loose, the asphalt mat underneath cracks, and for a few months the roof looks perfectly fine. Then the sun does its work on the exposed mat, the bruise becomes a soft spot, and by the second summer it's a leak. Tennis-ball hail, the kind that fell across south Broken Arrow and Jenks on May 21, 2024, skips the waiting: it punctures shingles outright, cracks skylights and shatters the plastic on turbine vents. That's why a hail inspection isn't a glance from the driveway: we walk every slope, circle the hits in chalk in a ten-by-ten test square, count them, photograph the soft metals (vents, gutters, the AC fins, the mailbox) that prove the hail size and direction, and write it all down.
Wind is the other half. The Father's Day derecho of June 17–18, 2023 put gusts near 100 mph across Green Country and left more than 200,000 customers without power; the March 7, 2026 storms put a wall cloud over the Warren and a reported tornado near 81st and Midway. Wind creases shingles and breaks their seal without necessarily removing them, so the damage compounds storm after storm. We check the seal on the windward slopes, note every crease, and if the roof is open anywhere, we get a tarp on it the same day — any hour — and take it from there in daylight.
What you get is a damage report with photos, a diagram of the roof with the hit counts per slope, and a straight answer about whether it's worth a claim. If it is, we'll meet your adjuster on the roof and build the estimate to the scope your carrier approves. If it isn't, we'll tell you that too, and you've spent nothing. What you won't get is a knock on the door the morning after a storm from someone with an out-of-state plate and a contingency contract — read how to spot a storm chaser before you sign anything.

Questions we get about hail & storm damage
How do I know if I have hail damage?
From the ground you usually don't. Dented gutters and downspouts, dings in the AC fins, granules piled at the downspout outlets and torn window screens are the clues; the proof is on the roof. We do the inspection free and give you the photos either way.
How long do I have to file a hail claim in Oklahoma?
It depends on your policy — many now require notice within one year of the storm, some as little as 180 days — so don't sit on it. Oklahoma insurers have also been moving roofs to actual-cash-value and percentage deductibles at renewal, which changes what a claim is worth. Read the Oklahoma hail claim guide.
Will the roofer meet the adjuster?
Yes, on the roof, with the chalk marks still there. A lot of denied or under-scoped claims come from an adjuster walking a roof alone in 15 minutes. We stay on the ground for the paperwork and on the roof for the count.
Can you pay or waive my deductible if I go with you?
No. Oklahoma law (59 O.S. §1151.30) prohibits a roofer from promising to pay, rebate or waive any part of the deductible, and gives your insurer the right to ignore an estimate from a roofer who does. Every estimate we write includes the notice the statute requires.
The storm was two years ago. Is it too late?
For a claim, maybe — check your policy's notice period. For the roof, no: the damage is still there and still getting worse. We'll document it and tell you whether a claim is realistic or whether it's a repair-and-move-on situation.
Do I have to use the roofer my insurance company recommends?
No. Oklahoma lets you hire any registered contractor you choose. Insurer 'preferred vendor' programs are fine, but they're a convenience for the carrier, not a requirement for you.
