The Village · Oklahoma County · Retail
This is the The Village 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 quoteHail 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. Test-square counts before the adjuster arrives are what win reinspections — eight or more strikes per hundred square feet is the threshold most carriers use. Lower pitches on mid-century homes rule out some products and make ice-and-water shield in the valleys non-negotiable.
What it costs in The Village: 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
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.
For surface condition, yes, and it's safer on steep or tile roofs. It can't check nail pull-through or feel for soft decking, so it's a complement to a physical inspection, not a replacement, when the roof is questionable.

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