The first half hour of a roof emergency

Do these in order. The first two protect people, the last two protect your claim and get a crew moving.

  1. Minutes 0 to 5

    Make the room safe

    Move people and valuables out from under the leak. If water is near an outlet, light fixture or ceiling fan, switch that circuit off at the breaker, but only if the panel is dry and you do not have to stand in water. A ceiling that bulges with water can drop without warning, so keep out from under it.

  2. Minutes 5 to 15

    Catch the water, do not chase it

    Put a bucket under the drip with a towel around it to stop the splash. Water often runs along a rafter before it shows, so the stain is rarely under the hole. Stay off the roof: a wet roof is a fall risk at any hour.

  3. Minutes 15 to 25

    Photograph it and write down the time

    Take dated photos and video of the ceiling, the floor and anything damaged, before you clean up. Write down when you first saw water. Insurers ask for both. In Oklahoma, the insurer has to acknowledge a claim within 30 days (36 O.S. §1250.6(A)), so the clock starts when you report it.

  4. Minutes 25 to 30

    Call, and ask four things

    Ask: is a crew free today, will you tarp first and quote the permanent repair after, what is the dispatch or tarp fee before you drive out, and can you send your license number? For Oklahoma: Oklahoma Construction Industries Board roofing registration required. 30 of the 30 roofers listed for Tulsa are based in town; 30 are within 25 miles.

Where the roofers who cover Tulsa are based

30 roofers are listed for Tulsa. The map shows the town each one is based in, sized by how many, from the public records we compiled. We hold no response times and no roofer has told us it runs a 24-hour crew, so this shows reach, not arrival time: ask for the dispatch time when you call.

After tornado-force wind near Tulsa, exposed decking is a true emergency: even a few hours of rain into an open roof multiplies damage tenfold, and structural fasteners need a professional eye before temporary coverings go on. Emergency tarping stops active loss and preserves your insurance claim — documenting damage with photos before any work begins keeps the adjuster scope clean. Availability varies by crew, so ask each contractor how soon they can get on site.

Last big hail on record

Strongest tornado

EF2 · March 30, 2016

It stayed on the ground for 10.5 miles and was up to 800 yards wide. This is the second segment of a three segment tornado. In Tulsa County, the tornado moved east-northeast, roughly along E 46th Street N to the west of Highway 75. It damaged more than 300 homes, and thirteen churches and businesses.

Strongest thunderstorm gust

100 mph · March 25, 2015

Strong thunderstorm wind blowing from the north to south damaged numerous homes, snapped or uprooted numerous trees, and blew down power poles. A building had the north-facing wall blown in and the roof above it collapsed.

What it means for emergency roof repair

The storm record for Tulsa County includes a 100-mph thunderstorm gust and a EF2 tornado. Wind that strong lifts shingles and tears off flashing, which is why emergency tarping crews book out fast after a front.

What Tulsa's climate means for emergency roof repair

  • After tornado-force wind in Tulsa, treat any exposed decking as urgent — overnight rain into an open roof multiplies the loss tenfold.
  • A severe Tulsa hail event can puncture a roof outright; if you see daylight or active dripping, emergency patching can't wait on an insurance timeline.

Emergency Roof Repair in Tulsa: questions

How do I find a emergency roof repair company in Tulsa?
PickARoofer lists roofing companies serving Tulsa, OK. This is a general roofing directory; confirm emergency roof repair experience and availability with each company. A Verified badge describes a separate registry check, not a confirmed service specialty or insurance check. Confirm scope, insurance and availability directly. Requests go to one contractor at a time, with up to three attempts; a response or start date is not guaranteed. Free for homeowners.
Will insurance pay for storm-related emergency roof repair in Tulsa?
Coverage, deductibles and reporting deadlines depend on your policy and circumstances. Document damage safely, contact your insurer promptly and ask for a written repair scope. This directory cannot determine coverage.
How fast can a roofer reach Tulsa?
30 roofers are listed for Tulsa: 30 based in town and 30 within 25 miles of the city centre. None of them has told us it runs an emergency crew, and our roster holds no response times, so we cannot promise an arrival time. Call first, ask when a crew can be on site and what the tarp fee is, then send the request so a second roofer is lined up.
When is hail season in Tulsa?
May is the worst month: 46% of the 340 hail reports NOAA holds for the county came then. Reports run from March to October. Book the inspection before March, while crews still have open dates.
How big does hail get near Tulsa?
The largest hail NOAA logged near Tulsa measured 4.25 inches, about the size of a grapefruit. Hail of an inch or more fell on 55 days in the same record. The biggest day was March 25, 2015, with 16 reports. The National Weather Service calls hail of 1 inch or larger severe; the bigger the stone, the more likely it is to crack a shingle.
How many roofing companies work around Tulsa?
The Census Bureau counts 90 roofing companies with payroll in Tulsa County, employing about 430 people. 82.2% of them have fewer than five employees, so most quotes come from owner-run crews. A roofer's median pay is $49,350 a year (BLS).
How long does an Oklahoma insurer have to answer a roof claim?
Oklahoma sets time limits in writing. For example, the insurer must acknowledge receipt of your claim notice within 30 days (36 O.S. §1250.6(A)). The full list and a date calculator are on our Oklahoma claim-deadlines page: pickaroofer.com/claim-deadlines/ok.
How old are the homes in Tulsa, and does it matter for the roof?
The median home in Tulsa was built in 1972, and 65.1% of homes date from before 1980 (Census ACS). A roof on a home that old has often been re-covered at least once, so ask the roofer whether there is a second layer underneath: it changes the tear-off cost. The area sees about 65 freeze-thaw days a year, which loosens flashing and sealant.
Is tornado roof damage covered by insurance in Tulsa?
Yes, tornado and wind damage is covered under the dwelling portion of standard homeowner policies in Tulsa. Document with photos before any cleanup, file promptly, and request a contractor who can meet your adjuster on-site — tornado damage to decking fasteners and structural connections is often undercounted in an adjuster's surface assessment. Some Tulsa-area insurers apply a separate wind-and-hail deductible rather than your standard deductible — check your declarations page before assuming what you will pay out of pocket.
What does emergency roof repair cost in Tulsa?
Emergency tarping to stop active leaks runs $200 to $600 for most Tulsa properties, depending on roof size and accessibility. Permanent emergency repairs — patching damaged sections, replacing blown-off shingles — cost $500 to $3,000 for typical scopes. After-hours and weekend emergency calls typically add a dispatch fee on top of material and labor. If the damage is storm-related, document it before work begins: most homeowner policies cover emergency storm repairs, and the documentation anchors your claim.
Do I need a permit for emergency roof repair in Oklahoma?
Permit requirements depend on the property, scope of work and local jurisdiction. Check with the city or county building department and confirm who will obtain any required permit before work starts.
