Roofing Company in Warr Acres - Has Your Roof Been Checked Since the March 10 Hail?
The March 10, 2026 hail dropped stones up to 2.75 inches near Warr Acres. Why a roof can look fine months later, what to check before winter, and who to call.
- By CRE Roofing, Warr Acres OK
If you live in Warr Acres and nobody has looked at your roof since the evening of March 10, 2026, it is worth getting it checked before winter. That storm dropped hail as large as 2.75 inches within three miles of our office, and hail damage often does not show up as a leak until months later. CRE Roofing is a Warr Acres roofing company - our office is on NW 72nd Street - and we inspect roofs in our own neighborhood for free.
What happened on March 10, 2026
The National Weather Service logged 12 hail reports within three miles of our Warr Acres office between 7:10 and 7:32 PM that evening. The largest reported stone was 2.75 inches. The closest report was about six-tenths of a mile from the office, and a 2-inch stone was reported about 1.2 miles away.
That was the worst event in a long record. Since 2016, the Weather Service has logged hail reports on 15 separate days within three miles of the office, and on 12 of those days the stones were 1 inch or larger, the size it classes as severe. These are spotter and public reports, so a street can take hail with no report filed at all.
Why a roof can look fine seven months later
Functional hail damage is a fracture in the shingle mat underneath the granules. From the driveway, the roof looks normal. Up close, the bruised spots shed granules, dry out and fail years early.
That is why many homeowners never call after a storm. Nothing leaked. The shingles are still there. Then a winter rain or an ice storm finds the weak spots, and a stain appears on a ceiling. By then, it is harder to connect the damage to the storm that caused it.
Signs worth paying attention to now:
- Granules collecting at the bottom of downspouts
- Dents in gutters, vent caps or metal flashing
- Cracked or chipped siding on the side that faced the storm
- New stains on a ceiling or near an outside wall
- Shingle pieces in the yard or gutters
Stay off the roof. A free inspection is safer and tells you more.
What we check on a Warr Acres roof after hail
On a CRE Roofing inspection, we get on the roof and chalk and photograph a test square on each slope. Then we write up whether the damage is functional or cosmetic, because that line decides a lot of Oklahoma hail claims. Our post on functional vs cosmetic hail damage explains the difference.
We also check what hail takes that often gets left off a claim: gutters, siding and soft metals like vents. You get photos of whatever we find. If there is a claim worth filing, we say so. If there is not, we tell you that too.
Is it too late to file for a March storm?
It depends on your policy. Policies vary, and the clock generally starts on the date of the storm, not the date you noticed the damage. If you think the March 10 storm hit your roof, do not wait any longer. Check your policy or call your agent, and get the roof documented while the evidence is still there.
If you file, you own the claim and pay your deductible - Oklahoma law does not allow a roofing contractor to cover it. We meet your adjuster on the roof with our documentation and handle supplements with your carrier. Our insurance claims page walks through how it works.
