Roof Replacement in Norman, Oklahoma
IKO ROOFPro certified roofing for Norman homeowners — honest estimates, expert installation, and a family that knows exactly what Oklahoma weather can do to a roof.
Norman's Trusted Roof Replacement Contractor
Norman is home to the University of Oklahoma and, fittingly, the National Weather Center at 120 David L. Boren Blvd — one of the most advanced severe weather research facilities on the planet, right in our backyard. The irony isn't lost on us: the city with the world's foremost storm scientists still takes a beating from Oklahoma weather every single year.
With over 58,000 homes and a median build year of 1978, Norman has one of the oldest housing stocks in the OKC metro. More than 62% of Norman homes were built before 1990 — meaning thousands of roofs across campus-adjacent neighborhoods like Old Town, Shadowlawn, and the Silk Stocking District are well past their prime. Whether you're in a mid-century ranch near campus or a newer two-story out in the Stone Creek area of southwest Norman, your roof is your home's first line of defense against Oklahoma weather.
Wilson & Sons Construction has earned 86+ five-star Google reviews serving Cleveland County homeowners. We're locally owned, fully licensed, and insured — and we give every Norman homeowner a straight answer about their roof, no pressure, no runaround.

Why Choose Wilson & Sons for Roof Replacement in Norman
We Know Norman's Weather — Intimately
Norman sits squarely in Tornado Alley. The May 10, 2010 EF4 tornado carved a path through the Norman and Newcastle area, and 2021 brought back-to-back hail events with stones exceeding three inches in diameter — causing hundreds of millions in damage tracked by the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. We design every roof replacement around Oklahoma's wind uplift loads, impact requirements, and the relentless hail seasons Cleveland County homeowners have learned to expect.
Transparent Pricing, No Surprises
We walk every roof ourselves before giving you a number. You'll get a clear, itemized estimate explaining exactly what we're replacing and why — not a vague quote that inflates once work starts. We offer completely free roof inspections so Norman homeowners can make informed decisions before spending a dime. You deserve honest answers, not a sales pitch.
IKO ROOFPro Certified Installation
Wilson & Sons is IKO ROOFPro Certified — we've met IKO's rigorous training and installation standards for shingle roofing. This certification unlocks extended manufacturer warranties that go well beyond what a standard contractor can offer. When we install an IKO shingle roof on your Norman home, you're protected for decades, not just years.
Family-Owned and Fully Accountable
Greg Wilson started this company and still shows up on jobs. There's no call center standing between you and the person responsible for your roof. That kind of direct accountability matters in a community like Norman, where reputation travels fast. We've built ours on 86+ five-star reviews because we do the work right the first time — every time.
Our Roof Replacement Process in Norman
We've replaced roofs on homes across Cleveland County from the historic neighborhoods near OU all the way out to the newer developments in southwest Norman. Here's exactly what to expect.
Free Roof Inspection & Written Estimate
We start with a no-cost, no-obligation roof inspection — walking your roof and checking for storm damage, granule loss, cracking, flashing failures, and decking issues. You get a clear written estimate before we touch a thing. No pressure, no clock ticking.
Material Selection
We walk you through shingle options suited to Norman's climate — including Class 4 impact-resistant shingles that may qualify you for homeowner's insurance discounts. We carry IKO, GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, and CertainTeed Landmark lines, and we'll match the right product to your budget, HOA requirements, and neighborhood character.
Insurance Coordination (When Applicable)
If storm damage is involved, we can help you navigate the insurance claims process. We document damage thoroughly, work directly with adjusters, and supplement claims to ensure nothing gets missed. Norman homeowners shouldn't leave money on the table after a hail event.
Scheduling & Site Prep
We coordinate a start date that works for your schedule. Before installation day, we confirm material delivery and prep the site — protecting your landscaping, vehicles, and any HVAC equipment near the roofline. Your property is treated with the same care we'd give our own.
Professional Installation
Our crew arrives on time, installs your new roof to IKO manufacturer specifications, and keeps the worksite clean throughout. Most Norman roof replacements are completed in a single day. We don't leave your home exposed overnight — period.
Final Walkthrough & Cleanup
We magnetic-sweep the yard for nails, haul away all old materials, and walk the completed roof with you before calling the job done. You'll know exactly what was installed, where your warranty documentation is, and how to reach us if anything ever comes up down the road.
Roof Replacement Options Available in Norman
Full Tear-Off Roof Replacement
Complete removal of your existing shingles down to the decking, inspection and repair of any rotted or damaged sheathing, new underlayment installation, and full shingle installation. This is the right call when your Norman home's roof is 20+ years old, has widespread storm damage, or is being prepared for sale.
Best for: Aging roofs, severe storm damage, pre-sale renovations
Storm & Hail Damage Replacement
Norman's 2021 hail season — with two separate events exceeding three-inch stone diameter — proved that even well-maintained roofs can be destroyed overnight. We specialize in storm damage roof replacement, documenting damage thoroughly for insurance purposes and working directly with your adjuster to maximize your claim payout.
Best for: Insurance claims, post-hail damage, recent storm events
Architectural Shingle Upgrade
If you're replacing an older 3-tab flat shingle roof — common on Norman homes built in the 1970s and 1980s near the OU campus — this is your opportunity to upgrade to a dimensional architectural shingle that adds real curb appeal. The character neighborhoods of Norman look dramatically better with a quality architectural shingle that adds depth and texture.
Best for: Aesthetic upgrades, older homes, pre-sale curb appeal improvements
Class 4 Impact-Resistant Shingles
Given Norman's documented hail history, we recommend UL 2218-tested Class 4 impact-resistant shingles for most Norman roof replacements. Engineered to withstand large hailstones, these shingles often qualify homeowners for insurance premium discounts that can offset a significant portion of the material upgrade cost over time.
Best for: Hail-prone areas, insurance discount seekers, long-term value buyers
Roof Replacement + Seamless Gutters Package
A roof replacement is the right time to assess your gutter system. Norman's older homes — especially in neighborhoods that were built out in the 1960s and 70s — often have undersized or failing gutters that create water intrusion and fascia rot problems that can damage a brand-new roof from underneath. We offer seamless gutter installation and gutter guard packages bundled with your roof replacement for a single project price — less scheduling hassle, one experienced crew, and one warranty conversation for everything.
Best for: Homes with aging gutter systems, anyone with foundation drainage concerns, whole-home exterior refresh projects

Common Questions About Roof Replacement in Norman
How much does a roof replacement cost in Norman, Oklahoma?
Most Norman roof replacements run between $8,000 and $18,000 for a standard single-family home, depending on roof size, pitch, material choice, and decking condition. A straightforward 1,500 sq ft ranch with standard architectural shingles is typically on the lower end; a larger two-story home with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles runs higher. We provide free, itemized written estimates so you know exactly what you're paying for before we start.
Do I need a permit for roof replacement in Norman?
For a standard shingle replacement, no — a basic re-roof in Norman does not require a building permit per city code. However, structural work involving significant decking replacement or changes to the roof system may require permitting through Norman Development Services, located at 201-A W. Gray St., (405) 366-5339. We'll tell you upfront if your specific project requires a permit and handle the process for you.
How long does a roof replacement take in Norman?
Most Norman roof replacements are completed in a single day. Larger homes, steeply pitched roofs, or projects requiring significant decking repair may take two days. We do not leave your home exposed overnight — if a job can't finish the same day, we ensure proper temporary protection is in place before our crew leaves your property.
What shingles do you recommend for Norman homes?
For most Norman homeowners, we recommend Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingles — particularly for homes in south and southwest Norman where there's greater wind exposure on open lots. These shingles are engineered to withstand the large hailstones that Cleveland County sees regularly and often qualify homeowners for meaningful insurance premium discounts. We carry IKO, GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, and CertainTeed Landmark lines and will match the right product to your budget and any HOA requirements.
How do I know if I need a full replacement vs. a repair?
If your roof is under 15 years old and damage is localized to a small section, a repair often makes sense. But Norman's median roof age is well past the 20-year mark — and at that age, repairs frequently just delay the inevitable. If more than 30% of your shingles show granule loss, cracking, or storm damage, a full replacement is almost always more cost-effective over a five-year horizon. Our free inspection gives you an honest read on which category you're in, with no obligation to proceed.
Does my homeowner's insurance cover roof replacement?
Many Oklahoma homeowner's policies cover sudden storm damage — hail, wind, and tornado — but not age-related wear and tear. Given that Norman has been hit by multiple documented hail events, there's a real chance storm damage is present on your roof even if you haven't filed a claim. We help homeowners assess what's documentable and work with your insurance adjuster to make sure you get a fair settlement. We've handled hundreds of Oklahoma insurance claims — and we know what adjusters look for.
Can you also replace my gutters at the same time?
Absolutely — and we recommend it if your gutters are more than 15-20 years old. Replacing gutters during a roof replacement is more efficient, more cost-effective, and ensures the new gutters are properly integrated with your new roofline. We install seamless gutters and gutter guard systems and can bundle them with your roof replacement for a single project price.
