Roof Replacement in Oklahoma City, OK
Impact-Resistant Roof Replacement
Oklahoma City, OK
Tear-off in progress in Oklahoma City, OK. Crew removing the old roof with tools and materials staged on tarps below.
A full tear-off on a hip-dominant brick home
This Oklahoma City homeowner contacted McCann's Roofing and Construction for a complete roof replacement on a brick home with a cut-up, hip-dominant roofline. The crew removed the existing roofing down to the decking, re-nailing any loose wood and replacing any bad or rotten decking as it was found before dry-in.
The QuickMeasure report tells the story of the labor: 25.53 squares, but 142.11 linear feet of hips against just 47.78 feet of ridge, nearly three feet of hip for every foot of ridge. A hip roof like this means constant cutting and capping rather than long, straight runs, so the detail work far exceeds what a gable roof of the same square count would take.

Measured for an exact material fit
McCann's orders a satellite QuickMeasure report on every project so materials are ordered to the exact dimensions of the roof, not a rough estimate. This roof's hip-heavy design drove far more linear footage of hip and valley than a simple roofline of the same square count.
What made this job different
A hip-dominant roof and a Class 3 impact-resistant upgrade
Nearly 3 feet of hip per foot of ridge
142 linear feet of hips against 47.78 feet of ridge, plus 53.76 feet of valley. That ratio means the crew is cutting and capping shingles almost the entire job rather than running long straight courses.
A Class 3 impact-resistant shingle
Malarkey Highlander NEX AR is built on Malarkey's NEX polymer-modified asphalt and carries a Class 3 impact rating under UL 2218, giving it better hail and impact durability than a standard dimensional shingle.
Ventilation sized to protect the warranty
3 high-capacity 144-style dome vents were installed to give the attic the exhaust it needs and keep the manufacturer's shingle warranty intact. Undersized ventilation is a common reason a warranty claim gets denied.

Common questions
Questions about this project
What is Malarkey Highlander NEX AR?
Highlander NEX AR is Malarkey's lifetime dimensional shingle, built on NEX polymer-modified asphalt for added flexibility and durability. It carries a Class 3 impact rating under UL 2218 and was installed here in Weathered Wood.
What color is Weathered Wood?
Weathered Wood is a warm, multi-toned blend of tan, brown, and gray designed to mimic aged cedar shake. It pairs naturally with brick and stone exteriors and is one of the most widely installed shingle colors on Oklahoma homes. Weathered Wood also remains one of the most popular roofing colors in Oklahoma because it complements brick, stone, and siding while helping hide normal weathering over time.
What does a Class 3 impact rating mean?
Impact resistance is graded 1 through 4 under the UL 2218 steel-ball drop test, where a higher number withstands a larger impact. A Class 3 shingle like Highlander NEX AR resists hail damage better than a standard shingle. Some insurers offer premium credits for impact-resistant roofs, though the largest discounts usually require the top Class 4 rating.
Why does a hip roof take more labor than a gable roof?
On a hip roof, every hip and valley has to be cut and capped course by course, rather than running long straight rows of shingles as you would on a simple gable. This home had 142 linear feet of hips and nearly 54 feet of valleys, so far more of the roof was slow, detailed cutting and fitting work.
