Storm damage repair across the Tulsa metro.
Oklahoma puts more types of storms on a single roof than almost anywhere else. Spring supercells. July straight-line winds. The occasional November ice storm. A good storm damage scope covers all of it under one inspection, one report, and one insurance claim. That is how we work.
Q: What should I do immediately after a storm damages my Tulsa roof?
Tulsa is in a geography that makes storm variety the norm rather than the exception. The spring hail belt runs right through the metro corridor. Severe thunderstorm cells track from the southwest, picking up intensity over the flat plains west of town and arriving with hail, wind, and sometimes rotation. The 74137 ZIP code in South Tulsa has been hit by multiple large-hail events in the same calendar year. It is not unusual.
What makes storm damage claims complicated is that one storm event often produces multiple damage types at the same time. Hail bruises the shingles. Wind pulls the ridge cap loose. A falling limb punches through the decking. An ice dam in the valley backs water under the flashing. All of this can happen in a single event and all of it belongs in a single claim.
We scope storm damage comprehensively. Everything that the storm did to the roof and the exterior goes into one report, not three separate estimates. Your adjuster gets a clean picture of the total loss. See also: hail damage repair and wind damage repair.
Signs a storm hit your roof.
Missing or displaced shingles
Wind and debris removal can pull entire shingles off. If you see bare decking or dark patches from the ground, that is an active leak path.
Granules in gutters after a storm
A single hail event can strip years of granule coverage from asphalt shingles. Your gutters will tell you how much.
Ceiling stains that appeared after the storm
Not all water intrusion is visible immediately. Sometimes a new stain appears 48 to 72 hours after the event as water works through the assembly.
Ridge cap lifted or missing sections
Ridge cap runs along the peak and takes the most wind exposure. Gaps or lifted sections are a common post-storm finding in Tulsa.
Damaged or cracked pipe boots
Hail and falling debris hit rubber pipe boots hard. A cracked boot is one of the most frequent sources of post-storm attic moisture.
Fallen branches on or near the roof
Even branches that missed the roof can dislodge flashing or damage the fascia on the way down. We check the impact zone carefully.
Dented gutters, vents, or AC condenser
Soft metals record the storm. Dents on your condenser, gutters, or vents confirm storm intensity and are useful for the insurance report.
Five steps from storm night to warranty card.
Emergency stabilization
If the storm left open decking or active leak paths, we tarp and secure the roof within 24 hours. This stops the damage from compounding before the full repair can be scheduled.

1 to 5 daysHow Oklahoma handles storm claims.
Storm damage claims in Oklahoma follow the same ACV versus RCV framework as hail claims. If you have a Replacement Cost Value policy, you receive an initial check minus recoverable depreciation. Once the work is complete, you submit the final invoice and the carrier releases the holdback. Do not start repairs without understanding which policy type you have.
Most Oklahoma carriers have tightened their storm claim windows in recent years. Some policies give you only six months from the storm date to file. Others allow one year. Check your declarations page. Waiting costs you the entire claim.
We do not take Assignments of Benefits. You keep your insurance rights. We do the work and help you collect what you are owed. That is the arrangement.
Storm claims have deadlines. Document now.
We were here before the storm. We will be here after it.
Every significant storm event in the Tulsa metro brings a wave of out-of-state roofing trucks. They target neighborhoods that got hit hard, knock doors, and work fast. Some of them do acceptable work. Most of them are gone before winter. If your replacement fails in February and the company that installed it has a disconnected phone number, you have no warranty and no recourse.
AE Roofing is Tulsa. We have been on these roofs through multiple storm seasons. Our project managers know which neighborhoods in Broken Arrow and Owasso get hit hardest by southwest-tracking supercells. We know which Midtown blocks have old clay tile that cannot handle modern hail. That context matters when we are scoping your claim.
