Your roof does a lot more than just sit up there lookin’ pretty — it protects your whole home from the weather, day in and day out. And in Oklahoma, that’s no small job. Between spring hailstorms, sizzling summer heat, fall winds, and icy winter days, your roof takes a beating all year long.
The good news? With just a little regular care and attention, you can add years to your roof’s life and avoid costly surprises down the road. Whether you’re in Edmond, OKC, or Norman, these tips can help you get the most out of your roof, no matter what the Oklahoma skies throw your way.
How Long Should a Roof Last in Oklahoma?
Most roofs in Oklahoma are made with asphalt shingles, and those usually last about 15 to 20 years — assuming they’re installed right and taken care of. But here’s the thing: Oklahoma’s wild weather can shorten that lifespan if you’re not on top of regular maintenance.
Strong winds can lift shingles. Hail can leave hidden dents. And long stretches of sun and heat can dry out and crack the materials. Over time, that adds up — and if you’re not looking out for small issues, they can turn into big ones.
The key to a long-lasting roof isn’t just luck. It’s routine maintenance, quick repairs when needed, and inspections after major storms. Staying ahead of problems is what keeps your roof solid — and your home safe.
Oklahoma Weather Is Tough on Roofs — Be Tougher
Oklahoma’s weather doesn’t play around. In 2023 alone, our state saw 74 confirmed tornadoes, well above the annual average of 57. Many of these storms hit areas like Norman and OKC, causing significant roof damage and power outages.
Hailstorms were no kinder. On April 19, 2023, a single storm dropped hail on 480,000 structures across Oklahoma. That same year, State Farm paid out $126 million in hail-related claims in our state alone.
And it’s not just hail and tornadoes — straight-line winds from derechos and severe thunderstorms have caused widespread roof damage, especially during spring and summer months.
