Roofing in Moore OK - Why a Rebuilt Roof Still Needs a Hail Check

If you are looking at roofing in Moore OK, the short answer is this: a newer roof is not a hail-proof roof. A five-year-old shingle with a bruised mat fails the same way a twenty-year-old one does, and the only way to know which kind you have is to get someone on the roof.

CRE Roofing is a family-owned roofing contractor based in Warr Acres, and Moore is part of our home service area in the south metro. We inspect for free, photograph what we find, and tell you plainly whether you need a repair, a replacement, or nothing at all.

Moore's roofs are newer than most - that cuts both ways

Moore was hit by catastrophic tornadoes in 1999 and again in 2013, and a large share of the city's housing was rebuilt or re-roofed afterward. That means many Moore homeowners assume the roof is "the new one" and stop thinking about it.

The problem is that hail does not check the install date. When a hail cell crosses the south metro, it bruises the shingle mat underneath the granules. From the driveway the roof can look perfect. Up close, the mat is fractured, and from that point the shingle sheds granules, dries out and fails years early.

A roof that went on after 2013 is now old enough to have taken several storm seasons. If it has never had a documented inspection, you do not actually know its condition.

What we check on a Moore roof

A real inspection is more than a look from the ladder. On a free CRE inspection we:

• Chalk and photograph a test square on each slope, so the evidence is the same whether you or an adjuster looks at it
• Feel for bruising in the mat, not just look for missing granules
• Check soft metals - vent caps, gutter aprons, flashing - for dents that back up a hail date
• Look for creased shingles from wind, which break their seal and lie back down looking normal
• Check pipe boots, the single most common leak source we find on Oklahoma roofs
• Look at the attic side when there is a stain, so the leak path is traced to its source

You get the photos and a plain-language explanation. If the damage is functional, we say so. If it is cosmetic or there is nothing there, we say that too, and you keep your claims history clean.

Repair or replacement in Moore

Not every storm call ends in a new roof. When damage is confined to one area and the rest of the roof still has life, roof repair is the honest call - including emergency tarping when water is still getting in.

When hail bruising shows up on every slope, or the shingle mat cracks when it flexes, patching is money spent twice. That is when roof replacement belongs in the conversation: a full tear-off to the deck, decking photographed before anything is replaced, new drip edge, synthetic underlayment, flashing and ventilation, and a magnet sweep of the yard at the end.

If you are tired of replacing the same roof after every hail season, ask about Class 4 impact-resistant shingles or metal on our metal and impact-resistant roofing page.

How the insurance side works

If a storm caused functional damage, the replacement usually runs through your homeowners policy. You file the claim, and we meet the adjuster on the roof with our documentation so both inspections look at the same evidence on the same day. We handle supplements with your carrier for anything the first scope missed.

You still pay your deductible. Since November 1, 2023, Oklahoma law does not allow a roofing contractor to pay, waive or rebate it - so treat any offer to "cover" it as a warning sign. Our insurance claims page walks through the full sequence.

Why a Warr Acres crew for a Moore roof

After a big hail event, out-of-state crews show up with magnetic signs. A workmanship warranty is only worth something if the company is still around to honor it.

We have been a BBB Accredited Business since 2023, and our roofing work carries a limited lifetime workmanship warranty for as long as you own and live in the home.

Common questions

My Moore roof was replaced after 2013. Can hail still total it? Yes. A relatively new roof with a bruised mat can fail functionally just like an older one. An inspection tells you which slopes, if any, were damaged.

Do you tarp active leaks in Moore? Yes. A tarp stops the water while the permanent fix and any claim are scoped.

How soon can you inspect after a widespread storm? Metro inspections are usually scheduled within 48 hours in normal conditions. After a big hail event the whole metro backs up, so get on the list early.

How CRE shows up

We repair boots, flashing, valleys, and storm-damaged shingles when the rest of the roof supports a patch - and we say when another patch is money spent twice.
