Inside our OKC Roof Inspection – Here is what we saw
When last year’s Oklahoma storms rolled through, they left more than fallen branches and dented gutters behind. At McCann’s Roofing & Construction, we inspected more than 100 roofs across Oklahoma City, Edmond, and Norman and what we found might surprise you.
Some homes looked perfect from the street but were hiding soft spots, lifted shingles, and water intrusion below the surface. Others had storm damage that insurance adjusters missed entirely. In a state where wind and hail are part of the forecast, every roof tells a story and these 100 inspections revealed what Oklahoma homeowners are really up against. We do thousands of roof inspections every year. But let’s take a second to look at some OKC roof inspection data.
The Real Numbers: What We Found
Out of the 100 roofs we inspected after the 2024 storms:
| Common Issue | % of Homes | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Missing or lifted shingles | 68% | Strong winds had loosened or unsealed shingles, creating slow leaks. |
| Hail bruising & granule loss | 54% | Even small hail weakened the shingles’ protective layer, shortening roof life. |
| Flashing or gutter damage | 41% | Often overlooked, but causes leaks near chimneys and valleys. |
| Moisture in decking | 33% | Hidden water led to rot and interior damage months later. |
| No major damage found | 12% | These homeowners had newer roofs or consistent maintenance. |
The numbers make one thing clear: even “fine-looking” roofs can hide expensive problems.
What Oklahoma Weather Really Does to a Roof
Last spring’s hailstorms dropped ice stones as large as quarters in Edmond and north OKC. Combine that with 70-mph winds, and you’ve got the perfect storm for roof damage literally.
Wind lifts the edges of shingles and breaks their seal. Hail hits bruise or crack the shingle surface, allowing water to seep through over time. The heat of summer expands those cracks, and before you know it, the next rainstorm finds its way into your attic.
That’s why so many homeowners don’t notice damage until months later, when it’s too late to file an insurance claim.
Stories from the Roofline
During one inspection in Norman, we found ridge caps split clean through by hail, completely invisible from the ground. In Edmond, a homeowner had a spotless-looking roof, but our infrared scan showed moisture spreading underneath the decking.
In Oklahoma City, one family’s gutters had detached just enough for water to run behind the fascia, soaking insulation without a single ceiling stain. They had no idea until we climbed up and took photos.
Why Regular Roof Inspections Matter
You don’t need to climb your roof after every storm, but you do need someone who knows what to look for. Here’s why:
-
Hidden damage gets worse fast.
-
Insurance deadlines for storm claims can expire before leaks appear.
-
Manufacturer warranties can be voided if you delay inspection or repair.
-
Preventive maintenance saves thousands over a full replacement.
That’s why every Oklahoma homeowner should schedule a professional roof inspection after a major storm, even if everything looks fine from the street.
