The Roofing Guys, a Tulsa-based roofing contractor, is warning homeowners that repeated high winds in Oklahoma can slowly damage roofs over time, even without obvious visible damage. The company has released an educational resource outlining how wind can lift and loosen shingles, break seals, and expose vulnerable areas, shortening a roof's expected lifespan. They are encouraging residents to schedule regular inspections, address small repairs quickly, and work with local roofers who understand the area's unique weather patterns.

Why it matters

Oklahoma's climate, with frequent severe thunderstorms, straight-line winds, and tornado-related gusts, puts additional stress on roofing materials. Over time, this cumulative wind damage can lead to leaks, interior water damage, and insurance complications for homeowners if not addressed proactively.

The details

Industry studies show that strong, gusty winds can lift and loosen shingles, break seals, and expose vulnerable areas of the roof, even when no obvious damage is visible from the ground. The Roofing Guys' new blog post explains how this type of gradual wind damage can accelerate wear, reduce a roof's expected lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks and other issues for Oklahoma homeowners. The resource also details warning signs like lifted or missing shingles, exposed underlayment, granules in gutters, and interior water stains.

  • The Roofing Guys recently released a new educational resource on their website.

What they’re saying

“Wind damage in Oklahoma isn't always dramatic-it's often cumulative. You might not lose half your roof in one night, but season after season of high winds can slowly loosen shingles, open up seams, and create pathways for water. Our goal with this piece is to give homeowners clear, practical information so they can spot issues early and make informed decisions about inspections, repairs, or replacement before a small problem becomes a big claim.”

They also emphasize the value of working with local roofers who understand the specific weather patterns and insurance requirements in the Tulsa area.

The takeaway

This case highlights the importance of proactive roof maintenance and inspections, especially in regions prone to high winds and severe weather. By addressing small issues early, homeowners can extend the lifespan of their roofs and avoid costly repairs or insurance claims down the line.
