Your roof is your primary defense, and we're here to answer your questions about ensuring it's up to the task.
Oklahoma's climate presents a unique set of challenges for roofing. The state experiences severe thunderstorms, high winds, hail, and intense summer heat. Sheet metal roofing offers a robust solution, providing excellent resistance to wind uplift and impact from hail, which are common occurrences. The material's ability to reflect solar heat can also offer significant energy savings during the long, hot months, a key consideration for homeowners in Tulsa.

These regulations are designed to ensure that your roof can withstand the extreme weather events common to our region.

We focus on expert application that accounts for Oklahoma's specific environmental pressures.
We begin by safely removing your old roofing material and then thoroughly inspecting the roof deck for any damage. A protective underlayment is applied, followed by the precise installation of the sheet metal panels. Finally, all seams and flashing are sealed to guarantee a watertight and durable finish.
