Tulsa, OK storm damage roofing guide

Tulsa sits at the eastern end of the Oklahoma hail corridor and the active window runs March into June, with the heaviest activity in May. Tulsa County builds to the 2018 IRC, so drip edge at eaves and rakes, starter strip per manufacturer instructions and ice barrier where required are all enforceable scope items on a re-roof. Oklahoma has no matching statute, so a full-slope argument has to rest on repairability and shingle availability — get the manufacturer's discontinuation letter before the first scope comes back rather than after. Much of the metro's housing stock carries three-tab and early architectural profiles that are no longer produced, and a lot of it has already been re-roofed once in the last decade, so expect scope arguments over prior repairs and cosmetic-only damage to accessory metal. Photograph turbines, vents, gutters and window wraps on the same visit as the field slopes.
