This is the Guthrie page for roof inspection. The short version: you want an honest read on the roof's condition before buying, selling, insuring, or filing a claim, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteMetal roofs shrug off hail punctures but can dent cosmetically, and several Texas carriers now exclude cosmetic damage on metal — check before you switch. Hail season runs March through June with a fall echo, and the claim-filing window is measured from the storm date, so keep the date of every event that hit your street. Housing spans a century of construction, so the right answer changes street by street: re-deck on an older home, straightforward replacement in a newer subdivision.
What it costs in Guthrie: many roofers inspect free in hopes of a job; a paid independent inspection removes that incentive and is worth it for real estate transactions or insurance disputes.
Oklahoma is one of the few states with a roofing-specific license: the Roofing Contractor Registration Act requires anyone doing insurance-funded roofing work to be registered with the CIB. Ask for that registration number — it's the single fastest way to rule out a storm chaser here.
How it works
Every slope photographed, flashing and penetrations checked, attic viewed from below where accessible, and a written report with remaining-life estimate. A walk-around from the driveway is not an inspection.
In Florida, for any roof over 15 years old, effectively yes — carriers want a report showing five or more years of remaining life. In Texas it's less formal but increasingly common on older roofs.

Guthrie is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
