ROOF
REPLACE-
MENT OKC

Most residential roof replacements in the OKC metro are completed in a single day - from crew arrival in the morning to cleanup and final walkthrough before sunset. This assumes a typical single-family home (1,500–3,000 square feet of roof area) with standard shingle material and no major structural surprises. Larger homes, complex roof geometries with multiple valleys and hips, or roofs that reveal unexpected decking damage during tear-off may require two or occasionally three days. We assess the job thoroughly during our proposal process and give you a realistic timeline before we schedule installation. We don't start a job we can't finish properly. On the day of installation, we brief you in the morning on the plan, keep the site organized throughout the day, complete our work, and do a thorough cleanup including a magnetic sweep for nails before we leave. Most OKC homeowners are amazed at how quickly a professional crew can transform their home.

We install roofing products from leading manufacturers including GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Atlas, and IKO. These are the manufacturers with the strongest track records for performance in Oklahoma's severe weather environment - they engineer their products specifically for hail, UV, and wind exposure in states like ours. Within each manufacturer's lineup, we offer standard architectural (dimensional) shingles, designer-grade products with enhanced aesthetics, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles for homeowners who want maximum durability and potential insurance premium savings. We'll discuss your options, show you samples, and help you choose the right product for your home and budget. Every installation includes premium synthetic underlayment (a step up from traditional felt), new pipe boots at every plumbing penetration, proper step and counter flashing, and ridge ventilation. We don't cut corners on the components you can't see - they matter as much as the shingles you can.

These terms are sometimes used interchangeably but they describe different processes. A full roof replacement - what we always recommend and perform - involves complete tear-off of all existing roofing material down to the decking, inspection and repair of the decking itself, and installation of new underlayment and shingles from scratch. A re-roof (also called overlay or cap-over) involves installing a new layer of shingles directly over the existing layer without tear-off. Re-roofing is faster and cheaper upfront, but it has significant drawbacks: it hides potential decking damage, adds weight to your structure, produces a less flat surface that shortens shingle life, and is not accepted by most insurance claims. Many OKC building codes limit roofs to two total layers, so a re-roof isn't always even an option. Most importantly, a re-roof doesn't give you the clean start that a properly installed new roof delivers. Osuna Roofing only performs full tear-off replacements - it's the right way to do the job and it's what we stand behind with our workmanship warranty.

This is the core question our free inspection is designed to answer honestly. General guidance: roofs under 10 years old with isolated damage from a specific event are usually good candidates for targeted repair. Roofs over 15–20 years old with widespread granule loss, extensive cracking, or damage affecting more than 25–30% of the surface area are typically better served by full replacement. The economics matter too - if a repair would cost $3,000 on a 20-year-old roof that will need replacement within 3–5 years anyway, a full replacement now (especially if partially or fully covered by insurance) may be the smarter long-term decision. Insurance coverage is also a factor: if you have a legitimate storm damage claim that would cover a full replacement, it often makes more financial sense to use that coverage than to repair and be left with an aging roof that will need replacement soon on your own dime. We tell every client what we honestly believe is right for their situation - not what generates the most revenue for us.

Our workmanship warranty covers defects in installation - meaning any problem that arises from how the roof was installed rather than from the materials themselves. This includes improper nailing patterns, flashing that wasn't properly sealed, underlayment that wasn't correctly lapped, or any other installation technique that fails to perform as it should. If something goes wrong because of how we installed it, we come back and make it right at no cost to you. The duration of our workmanship warranty varies by project scope - ask us for specifics when we're discussing your project. In addition to our workmanship warranty, you receive the manufacturer's material warranty on the shingles themselves, which for major brands typically runs 25–50 years for material defects. These two warranties together cover your new roof from both installation failures and product defects. We provide all warranty documentation in writing at project completion. Before you choose any roofing contractor, ask specifically about their workmanship warranty - if they don't have one or can't clearly explain it, that's a red flag.

Yes - a new roof is one of the home improvement investments with the strongest return in the Oklahoma City real estate market. Buyers and their agents immediately identify roof age and condition as a major factor in offer pricing and negotiating leverage. A home with a brand-new roof eliminates a major concern for buyers and their lenders, often removing a condition that would otherwise appear in inspection contingencies. Industry research suggests that a new roof can add 60–70% of its cost to a home's sale price, and in competitive markets, the elimination of buyer concessions often means the effective return is higher. For homeowners planning to sell within the next several years, a roof replacement - particularly one that was partially or fully covered by insurance - represents very strong ROI. For homeowners planning to stay long-term, the value is in protecting the structure of your home and eliminating the risk of water damage, mold, and structural deterioration that an aging or damaged roof creates. Either way, a new roof is rarely a bad investment in Oklahoma City's weather environment.

During tear-off, we inspect every square foot of your decking. Soft spots, rot, delamination, and structural issues occasionally appear that weren't visible from above. This happens most often on older roofs, roofs with a history of leaks, or in areas around penetrations like chimneys and skylights where water infiltration has been occurring over time. When we find damaged decking, we stop and contact you before proceeding. We show you the affected areas, explain what we found, and provide a clear cost estimate for the additional materials required. Damaged decking must be replaced before new roofing goes on - covering compromised wood defeats the entire purpose of a new roof. For insurance-covered replacements, decking damage that is attributable to the original storm damage can be documented and submitted as a supplement to your claim. We handle that supplemental documentation as part of our service - you shouldn't be surprised by decking costs on an insurance claim when the damage was storm-related.

There are a few things you can do to make installation day go smoothly. Move vehicles out of the driveway - we'll be loading and unloading materials and running equipment, and the space makes a real difference. Clear the perimeter of your home of lawn furniture, potted plants, decorative items, and anything else that could be damaged by falling debris or foot traffic. If you have pictures or artwork on walls on the top floor, consider taking them down - nailing on the roof produces vibration that can shift or knock down wall hangings. Make sure your pets are secured inside or in a safe area - a busy roof installation with multiple workers and equipment is not a safe environment for animals who might wander into the work zone. Let your neighbors know what day the work is happening - professional courtesy, and they'll appreciate the heads-up. Beyond that, you don't need to do much. We arrive, get to work, and handle everything. Most homeowners go about their normal day and come home to a new roof.
