Springtime in Oklahoma is beautiful… but it sure can be rough on your roof. Between the wind, hail, and surprise storms rollin’ in, this is the season when most roof damage happens. And if you live in places like Norman or Moore, you know just how wild it can get.
At McCann’s Roofing and Construction, we see it every year — folks don’t realize there’s a problem until water’s drippin’ through the ceiling. That’s why now’s the best time to do a quick roof check and get ahead of any storm damage before it gets worse.
Why Spring Roof Maintenance Matters in Oklahoma
If you’ve lived in Oklahoma long enough, you know spring weather ain’t no joke. One minute it’s sunny, and the next, the wind’s blowin’ shingles off rooftops. Just this past week, we saw winds over 60 miles an hour — and that’s before the hail even showed up.
Spring brings a mix of it all: heavy rain, big hail, and sometimes even tornados, especially out in places like Moore and Norman. That’s why checkin’ your roof now can save you a heap of trouble later. A quick look now could keep a small issue from turnin’ into a big, expensive problem down the road.
What to Look for After a Storm Hits
After a big storm, don’t just hope for the best — take a few minutes to give your roof a look. You don’t need to climb up there. Just walk around your home and look up from the ground.
Here’s what to watch for:
- Missing or lifted shingles – If you see bare spots or shingles flappin’ in the wind, that’s a red flag.
- Granules in your gutters – Little black or gray bits show your shingles are wearin’ down.
- Dents or cracks – Hail can leave bruises or cracks in shingles, which can lead to leaks.
- Water spots on ceilings – If you see stains inside your home, water’s already found a way in.
Even if your roof looks fine, that doesn’t always mean it is. Oklahoma storms can sneak in damage that’s hard to spot, which is why it helps to bring in a pro if you’re not sure.
DIY Roof Check vs. Professional Inspection
Now, it’s always a good idea to walk around and give your roof a look after a storm. But there’s only so much you can see from the ground. And most folks don’t feel too good about climbin’ up a ladder — we don’t blame ya.
If you notice anything that looks off — or if you’re just not sure — it’s worth callin’ in a pro. At McCann’s, we offer free roof inspections, and we know what to look for, even the sneaky stuff that can cause trouble later. We’ve seen it all: wind damage, hail dents, even hidden leaks that don’t show up right away.
A quick check by a trusted roofer can give you peace of mind and help you catch problems before they get worse. Plus, if there’s storm damage, we’ll help walk you through the insurance process, too
