Your 1960s Tulsa roof is not going to hold another decade.
Midtown Tulsa homes from Brookside to Maple Ridge were built with decking that was already old when Reagan was president. The shingles got replaced in the 1990s. The decking did not. A full replacement today means we actually look at what is underneath, replace the soft spots, and put a 50-year system on top of a solid foundation.
Q: How do I get a roof replacement in Tulsa?
Tulsa has more roofing variety than most Oklahoma cities. Midtown homes from the 1940s through 1970s sit on original structural decking that has been through 60-plus years of Oklahoma weather. South Tulsa newer developments have the opposite problem: builder-grade shingles installed during the 2000s growth wave that are now 15 to 20 years into a 25-year warranty life.
A roof replacement is not just shingles. It is a complete system: decking inspection and repair, ice-and-water shield in the valleys, felt underlayment, properly flashed penetrations, drip edge, ridge cap, and attic ventilation that actually works. We do all of it on a single scope of work.
The inspection is free. The quote is in writing. No surprise line items added after we start.
Why Tulsa homeowners need a real replacement.
Brookside and Maple Ridge homes are the most common replacement job we do in Tulsa proper. The houses are solid. Good bones, mature trees, desirable neighborhoods. But the decking is original, and original decking from the 1950s and 1960s is dimensional lumber cut at non-standard thicknesses. When we pull the old shingles, we find soft spots near the valleys and along the ridge where moisture has cycled in and out for decades. We replace that decking before anything else goes on.
South Tulsa between 91st and 121st is a different situation. The homes are newer but the shingles are not. Builders in the 2000s spec'd the cheapest architectural shingles that would get past city inspection. Those shingles are now hitting their functional end of life, often 3 to 5 years before the warranty expires, because Oklahoma summer UV and hail season age them faster than the warranty assumes.
The Pearl District and east Tulsa mid-century homes often have mixed systems: one slope replaced at some point, others original. We document everything during the inspection so you know exactly what is on every plane before you decide on a course of action.
Whether you are in a 1955 Brookside bungalow or a 2007 south Tulsa four-bedroom, the process is the same: free inspection, written quote, fixed price, complete system.

1 to 2 daysWarranty and follow-up
Manufacturer warranty registered in your name within 14 days. Written workmanship guarantee. We inspect again at 6 and 24 months at no charge.
Lifetime workmanshipTimeline, cost, and warranty.
From your first call to warranty card in hand, most Tulsa replacements take two to four weeks. That is: inspection within 48 hours, written quote within one to two days, permit pulled and scheduled within a week, install in one to two days, manufacturer warranty registered within two weeks.
Cost for a standard Tulsa home ranges from $9,000 to $22,000 depending on size, pitch, and material tier. Midtown homes with original decking often run higher due to decking repairs. South Tulsa newer homes are typically on the lower end because the decking is sound.
Every replacement gets a manufacturer warranty registered in your name, typically 50 years on shingles, plus our written lifetime workmanship guarantee. We check back at 6 months and 24 months, free.
Your Tulsa roof is not getting younger.
ZIP codes and neighborhoods we cover:
Tulsa crew vs. out-of-state trucks.
After every hail event, Tulsa gets visited by out-of-state storm chasers who set up shop on Memorial Drive and work the neighborhoods for a few weeks. They leave when the easy jobs dry up. AE Roofing is based here. We roof in Tulsa year-round, not just after storm season.
Our project managers know midtown Tulsa. They know south Tulsa. They understand the difference between a 1958 Florence Park home with original skip sheathing and a 2009 south Tulsa tract home with OSB decking. That knowledge changes how we scope the job and what we find when we get up there.
We use W-2 crews, not day labor. We pull permits. We register warranties. We come back. If you need us two years from now, the same project manager picks up the phone.
