Roof Replacement in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Expert installation backed by 86+ five-star reviews. Transparent pricing, licensed & insured, and a team that knows what Oklahoma weather does to roofs.
Oklahoma City Roofs Take a Beating. Yours Shouldn't Have To.
If you own a home in Oklahoma City, you already know the weather doesn't go easy on roofs. OKC sits at the heart of what meteorologists call "Hail Alley" — and the numbers back that up. The NOAA Storm Prediction Center has ranked the Oklahoma City area #1 in the nation for hail frequency per square mile among 141 radar coverage zones. Add a nearly 120-degree temperature swing between our coldest winters and hottest summers, plus relentless UV and periodic ice storms, and your roof is working harder here than it would almost anywhere else in the country.
Then there's the housing stock. Large swaths of NW and NE Oklahoma City — neighborhoods like Crown Heights, Edgemere Heights, Capitol Hill, and the subdivisions running through the 73112 and 73118 zip code corridors — were built primarily in the 1950s through the 1980s. If your home falls in that range, your roof may be approaching or well past its useful life, whether you've had a major hail event or not.
Wilson & Sons Construction is a family-owned Oklahoma City contractor that has replaced roofs across this city after hailstorms, after decades of wear, and after insurance carriers agree it's time. Our team has earned 86+ five-star Google reviews by giving homeowners straight answers, handling the process from permit to final walkthrough, and showing up when we say we will. We're not a national franchise. We're local — and that makes a difference.
Why Choose Wilson & Sons for Roof Replacement in Oklahoma City
There's no shortage of roofing contractors in the metro. Here's what separates us from the next company on the list.
We Know Oklahoma City Weather — and What It Does to Roofs
We've been on hundreds of OKC roofs after hailstorms, ice events, and decades of thermal cycling. We know the difference between cosmetic granule loss and structural shingle failure. We've seen what the May 2010 supercell — which dropped golf-ball to softball-size hail across the NW metro — looks like on a roof six months later versus six years later. That firsthand experience shapes every inspection and recommendation we make.
Transparent, Itemized Pricing — No Surprise Add-Ons
Your written estimate lists every line item: tear-off, decking inspection, underlayment, drip edge, shingles, flashing, cleanup, and the OKC building permit. Nothing hidden, nothing tacked on after installation starts. We believe you should know exactly what you're spending before we pick up a hammer.
IKO ROOFPro Certified with Extended Warranty Coverage
As an IKO ROOFPro Certified contractor, we're authorized to install IKO shingle systems with extended manufacturer warranties that non-certified contractors can't offer. That certification requires training on proper installation practices — the kind that's required to actually activate the warranty. You get better coverage on day one and for years down the road.
Family-Owned and Locally Accountable
Wilson & Sons is owned and operated by Greg Wilson — and he's not hard to reach. When you call 405-230-3000, you're not reaching a call center for a national franchise. You're reaching a local business with its reputation on the line in this city. We live here. That matters to us.
Our Roof Replacement Process in Oklahoma City
We believe the process should be as stress-free as the finished roof. Here's exactly how a Wilson & Sons roof replacement works from first call to final walkthrough.
-
1
Free Roof Inspection & Honest Assessment
We start with a thorough, no-obligation free roof inspection — on the roof, not just from the driveway. We document what we find with photos, measure your system accurately, and give you a straight answer: do you need a replacement, a repair, or just a closer look in a year? No pressure either way.
-
2
Insurance Coordination (If Applicable)
If storm damage is involved, we can meet with your insurance adjuster on-site to ensure damage is properly documented. We've worked through hundreds of OKC insurance claims and know what adjusters are looking for. We give you the facts and let you decide — we don't pressure you into filing.
-
3
Material Selection & Written Estimate
We walk you through shingle options — standard architectural, premium dimensional, and Class 4 impact-resistant grades — with honest guidance on what makes sense for your home, your budget, and your insurance situation. Your written estimate is detailed and fixed. No estimates scribbled on a napkin.

OKC Building Permit
We pull the required Oklahoma City building permit through OKC Development Services before any work begins. As of August 2025, a $94.50 permit is required for roof replacement on single-family homes in OKC. We handle the paperwork as part of our standard process — you're covered legally and the work is on record for future home sales.

Professional Installation
Our crew arrives on schedule, protects your landscaping and driveway, performs a complete tear-off, inspects and replaces any compromised decking, and installs your new roof system to manufacturer spec. Most OKC homes are completed in a single day. We don't leave your home exposed overnight.

Final Inspection & Walkthrough
Before we call the job done, we do a full quality inspection — checking flashing, ridge caps, valleys, and every penetration. We walk you through what was done, confirm the city inspection is scheduled, and make sure you're satisfied before we pack up. We magnet-roll the property for loose nails and leave your yard cleaner than we found it.

Roof Replacement Options Available in Oklahoma City
Not every homeowner needs the same solution. Here are the replacement options we install most frequently across OKC — and which situations each one fits best.
Architectural (Dimensional) Asphalt Shingles — Most Common in OKC
The majority of Oklahoma City homeowners replacing an aging roof choose architectural shingles. They offer significantly better wind resistance than older 3-tab shingles (many rated to 130 mph), improved impact performance, and a dimensional appearance that adds curb appeal. As IKO ROOFPro Certified installers, we can offer extended warranties on IKO architectural products that standard contractors cannot. For older OKC homes in neighborhoods like Crown Heights or Edgemere Heights upgrading from original or first-replacement roofs, this is typically the right balance of performance and value.
✓ Best for: Homeowners replacing a worn or hail-damaged roof and looking for a long-lasting upgrade at a reasonable price point.
Class 4 Impact-Resistant Shingles
Class 4 is the highest impact-resistance rating for roofing shingles — and in a city that sees roof-damaging hail multiple times per year, it's worth a serious conversation. Many Oklahoma insurance carriers discount homeowner's premiums 10–30% for homes with Class 4 shingles. Depending on your policy, the savings can offset a significant portion of the upfront cost difference over time. We'll help you run the numbers before you decide.
✓ Best for: OKC homeowners who want maximum hail protection and are interested in potential insurance premium reductions.
Storm Damage Replacement
After a significant hail or wind event — like the October 2021 storm that dropped 3-inch hail across parts of OKC — many homeowners discover damage that isn't visible from the ground. We provide thorough free hail damage inspections, document findings with detailed photos, and can coordinate directly with your adjuster. We've helped OKC homeowners navigate the claims process hundreds of times.
✓ Best for: Homeowners dealing with recent storm damage who need help documenting it and working through the insurance process.
Age & Wear Replacement
A 25-year-old asphalt shingle roof in Oklahoma City has endured more thermal cycling, UV, and hail impacts than the same-aged roof in a milder climate. We regularly inspect homes in the 73112, 73118, and 73120 zip codes — dense with 1960s–1980s housing stock — and find roofs simply at end of life. Granule loss, curling edges, and widespread brittleness are the hallmarks. A planned replacement on your schedule beats an emergency one after the next big storm.
✓ Best for: Homeowners with roofs 20+ years old showing widespread wear, even without a specific storm event.
Emergency Roof Replacement
When severe weather leaves a section of your roof open to the elements, the clock is ticking. We offer emergency tarping and priority scheduling for OKC homeowners who need immediate protection followed by a full replacement. Call 405-230-3000 and tell us it's an emergency — we'll respond accordingly. For situations that don't require full replacement, see our storm damage roof repair services.
✓ Best for: Homeowners with active leaks or storm-exposed sections who need immediate stabilization and fast turnaround.
What Makes Wilson & Sons Different
We're not the only roofing contractor in Oklahoma City. Here's why homeowners keep choosing us — and referring us to their neighbors.
Family-Owned & Operated
Owner Greg Wilson built this company one roof at a time. You have a single point of contact who knows your project personally — not a rotating crew managed from a call center in another state. Big enough to build, small enough to care.
IKO ROOFPro Certified
Our certification authorizes us to install IKO shingle systems with extended warranty coverage unavailable through non-certified contractors. It requires ongoing training — it's not just a sticker on a truck.
Beyond the Roof
We're a full-service construction company. If your project uncovers the need for new seamless gutters, fascia repair, or other work, we handle it — one company, one point of contact, no coordinating multiple crews.

Common Questions About Roof Replacement in Oklahoma City
We hear these questions constantly from OKC homeowners. Straight answers below.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Oklahoma City?
Most OKC homeowners pay between $8,500 and $16,000 for a full roof replacement, depending on home size, shingle grade, and roofline complexity. A standard 1,800-square-foot ranch — common in neighborhoods like Crown Heights, Edgemere Heights, and Capitol Hill — typically runs $9,000–$13,000 for architectural shingles. Premium impact-resistant shingles run higher. We provide detailed, itemized written estimates at no charge so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work begins.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most OKC homes can be re-roofed in a single day. Larger homes, complex rooflines, or projects requiring significant decking repairs may take two days. We schedule efficiently, arrive with a full crew, and don't leave your home exposed overnight.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Oklahoma City?
Yes. As of August 2025, Oklahoma City requires a building permit for roof replacement on single-family homes and duplexes. The permit costs $94.50 and is issued through OKC Development Services — typically same-day. A city inspector verifies compliance after the work is completed. Wilson & Sons handles the permit as part of our standard process, so you don't have to navigate city hall on your own.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover a roof replacement?
It depends on the cause of damage. If your roof was damaged by hail, wind, or another covered weather event — which happens frequently in Oklahoma City — your policy will typically cover a full replacement, minus your deductible. We work directly with insurance adjusters and document storm damage thoroughly to support your claim. Wear-and-tear or age-related replacement is generally not covered. If you're unsure whether you have a claim, our free inspection is the right first step.
How do I know if I need a full replacement or just a repair?
A repair makes sense if damage is isolated to a small section and the surrounding shingles are still in good condition — typically less than 30% of the roof surface. If your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread granule loss, multiple leaks, or extensive hail damage, a full replacement is almost always the smarter long-term investment. Patching over a deteriorating roof often costs more in the long run. We'll give you an honest assessment during your free inspection — we'll tell you what you actually need, not just what costs more.
Can impact-resistant shingles lower my insurance premium?
Yes — many Oklahoma insurance carriers offer discounts of 10–30% on homeowner's premiums for homes with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. Given how frequently OKC gets hit by hail, the premium savings can offset a meaningful portion of the upfront cost difference over time. Ask your insurance agent about the specific discount before we finalize material selection — that number can influence which shingle grade makes the most financial sense for you.
What warranty comes with a Wilson & Sons roof replacement?
As an IKO ROOFPro Certified contractor, we're authorized to offer extended manufacturer warranties on IKO shingle systems — beyond what a non-certified contractor can provide. Our workmanship warranty is also included. We'll walk you through the specific warranty terms for your chosen product at the estimate stage so you know exactly what you're covered for and for how long.
Is Wilson & Sons licensed and insured in Oklahoma?
Yes. We hold Oklahoma Construction Industries Board (CIB) license number 80007593 and carry full liability insurance. You can verify our license at oklahoma.gov/cib. We strongly recommend asking any roofing contractor you consider in Oklahoma City for their CIB license number before work begins — it's the most important credential to verify.
