What weather does to a Tulsa roof
- Freeze-thaw days. Water gets under shingles at night and expands as ice.
- Days at 90F or hotter. Heat bakes the oils out of asphalt and loosens sealant strips.
- Days with an inch of rain. Heavy rain tests flashing, valleys and gutters.
- Yearly precipitation. More water means more years of wet decking.

Repair or replace in Tulsa
The median Tulsa home was built in 1972, so an original roof would be 54 years old, past the 25–30 years architectural shingles are rated for. Here a repair mostly buys time. 65.1% of Tulsa homes predate 1980, so some roofs on the street are second or third generation.
| Job | Cost | Weeks of pay |
|---|---|---|
| Small repair in Tulsa | $550 | 0.49 |
| Larger repair in Tulsa | $2,550 | 2.3 |
| Half of a new roof (50% rule) in Tulsa | $4,800 | 4.3 |
| One year of roof life in Tulsa | $347 | 0.31 |
The last row prices one year of roof life in Tulsa: a typical architectural roof divided by its rated 25–30 years. A repair is worth paying for when it buys at least as many years as its cost divided by that figure. The 50% rule is a common rule of thumb, not a law.
