Hail & Storm Damage

On May 8, 2026, baseball-size hail hit Bartlesville and damaged over 26,100 properties. Thousands of those roofs still have not been looked at by anyone who lives here.

Storm Damage in Bartlesville, Oklahoma

What this actually involves.

Hail damage is not usually visible from the ground. A roof can look completely normal from the driveway and still be finished — the mat bruised, the granules knocked loose, the sealant strips broken. What you see instead, two or three years later, is a leak that your carrier will no longer connect to a storm.

That is why a documented inspection matters more than an opinion. We photograph every slope, mark the test squares, check the soft metals — vents, gutters, downspouts, the AC condenser fins — and give you the photo set whether you hire us or not. If the roof is fine, we will tell you it is fine and you will have dated proof of its condition.

Options & techniques

What we look for after an Oklahoma storm

Hail BruisingSoft spots in the shingle mat where the impact fractured the fiberglass. You can feel them before you can see them, and they are what fails first.
Granule LossExposed asphalt where the protective granules were knocked off. Once the mat is in the sun, the clock on that shingle is running fast.
Broken Sealant StripsHail and wind break the factory seal between courses. The shingle looks intact and lifts in the next 40 mph gust.
Wind CreasingA horizontal crease across the shingle where the wind folded it back. It will not reseal, and it is a tear waiting for the next storm.
Missing & Blown-Off ShinglesThe obvious damage — and often the least expensive part of the claim compared to the field damage around it.
Soft Metal DamageDents in vents, gutters, downspouts, flashing, and the AC condenser. These are the collateral indicators an adjuster uses to date and size the storm.
Ridge & Hip DamageRidge caps take the worst of it because they sit highest and have the least backing behind them.
Gutter & Downspout DamageDented, dislodged, or crushed gutter. Frequently covered in the same claim and frequently left off the scope.
Deck & Structural DamagePunctured decking from large hail or limb strikes — the damage that turns a repair into a replacement.
Emergency TarpingSame-day or next-day storm-tight tarping so water stops entering while the claim is worked.
Straight answers

Storm Damage — the questions we get asked

How long do I have to file a hail claim in Oklahoma?

Report the damage promptly — most policies want it inside 30 to 180 days, and the specific window is in your policy. Separately, replacement-cost policies generally require the work to be completed within six months of the date of loss before they release the withheld replacement-cost balance. For the May 8, 2026 storm that puts the completion deadline around November 8, 2026.

Can hail damage a roof without me seeing anything?

Yes, and that is the normal case. Bruising and broken sealant strips are invisible from the ground and often invisible from the roof to an untrained eye. The damage shows up as a leak years later, after the claim window has closed.

Do you charge for a storm inspection?

No. The inspection, the photo documentation, and our written opinion are free, and the photo set is yours regardless of whether you hire us.

A crew knocked on my door offering a free roof. Should I use them?

Be careful. Oklahoma requires roofing contractors to be registered with the Construction Industries Board, and after July 1, 2026 residential roofing also requires a Residential Roofing Endorsement. Ask for the registration number and look it up before you sign anything. And no legitimate contractor can pay or waive your deductible — that is insurance fraud under Oklahoma law.

“Cannon was great to work with. Very responsive. Jacob fought for us when the insurance adjuster initially rejected our claim. Cannon checked over all the work and made sure it was to his standards. If it wasn't, it was corrected. Professional. Timely. Guarantee their work. Easy to work with. Good group. Would use again.”
