Diagnosis first

## A patch in the wrong place is money you will spend twice

Water travels. A stain that shows up on a bedroom ceiling has often entered the roof several feet away, run along a rafter or a length of decking, and dropped at the first opportunity. Patching the spot above the stain fixes nothing.

That is why every repair starts with an inspection rather than a quote. Two drone laps read the field and then the details, and a third lap on foot checks everything the same storm is likely to have marked. Where the photos cannot answer the question, we get on the roof and into the attic.

You get the findings talked through on site, and a written report by email afterwards.

- **We diagnose before we price.** Nothing gets quoted from the driveway.
- **Attic investigation when needed.** Because a leak rarely enters where it appears.
- **The price is the price.** If we hit something mid job, we usually absorb it.
- **Two year workmanship warranty.** In writing, on work we install.

Worth a call

## Signs a repair should not wait

Small problems on a roof stay small for a surprisingly short time. These are the four we would rather see early.

1. ![A torn shingle lifted off a gray shingle roof, the underlayment showing beneath it](/wp-content/uploads/lhcr/repair-patch-section-1280.jpg?v=b3ca1143)  01   ### Lifted or missing shingles Once wind gets under a tab, the next storm usually takes the shingle with it. Caught early, it is a small repair.
2. ![Two chimneys rising through a shingle roof at the ridge](/wp-content/uploads/lhcr/res-ridge-chimneys-1280.jpg?v=d77766f5)  02   ### Trouble around a chimney or wall Most leaks start where the roof meets something else. Failed flashing lets water in long before a shingle looks wrong.
3. ![A white downspout at the corner of a house](/wp-content/uploads/lhcr/gutter-downspout-white-1280.jpg?v=9a54abb4)  03   ### Granules in the gutters Shingle granules washing out of a downspout mean the surface is wearing, often after a hail storm.
4. ![A fallen tree limb lying across a shingle roof after a storm](/wp-content/uploads/lhcr/storm-tree-on-roof-1280.jpg?v=b78379cf)  04   ### Storm or tree damage Impact can break the seal under shingles that still look fine from the ground. It is worth having it looked at.

Repairs

Common repairs

## What we are usually called out for

These are the repairs that come up most often on Oklahoma City roofs.

### Storm and hail damage

Impact bruising, granular loss and shingles lifted or torn off by wind. Frequently insurable, and frequently worse than it looks from the ground.

### Failed flashing

Chimneys, wall transitions and valleys. The single most common origin of a leak, and one that sealant will not permanently fix.

### Roof penetrations

Pipe boots, vents and anything else that passes through the roof plane. Rubber boots crack long before the shingles around them do.

### Missing or slipped units

Shingles, tiles or slates that have come off. On specialty roofs, matching the existing material matters as much as the repair itself.

### Eaves and drainage

When water backs up at the eave, or the gutters stop moving it away from the house, it finds its way into the fascia and decking.

### Decking and structure

Where water has been getting in for a while, the repair is not only the surface. Soft or damaged decking gets documented rather than covered up.

Honest

Straight talk

## When a repair is the wrong answer

Not every roof should be repaired, and we would rather lose the job than take money for a fix that is going to fail. There are situations where patching is the wrong call, and you deserve to hear that before you spend anything.

It is also why so much of our work comes from repeat customers and referrals.

- **The damage is on several sides of the roof.** If three sides of the roof show the same hail bruising, you have a roof problem rather than a spot problem.
- **The system is near the end of its life anyway.** Spending real money on a roof with a couple of years left rarely makes sense.
- **The shingle is no longer available.** A repair that does not match is a visible repair, and on the resale side that matters.
- **Water has been getting in for a long time.** Once decking is involved, a surface patch is treating the symptom.
- **It was installed wrong in the first place.** Where the underlying detail is the problem, repairing the surface just resets the clock on the same failure.

Repair or replace? The assessment is free.

Process

How a repair runs

## How a roof repair runs

Four steps, from your first call to a clean site.

1. 01  ### You tell us what you are seeing   A stain, shingles in the yard, a drip during the last storm. Whatever it is, it helps us know where to look first.
2. 02  ### We inspect properly   Two drone laps and one on foot. The drone survey takes ten to fifteen minutes; longer if we need to get on the roof or into the attic to find the source.
3. 03  ### You get findings and a price   Talked through on site, then a written report by email. The price we give you is the price you pay.
4. 04  ### We repair and clean up   The repair is made, the site is cleared, and the ground is swept with magnets for nails before we leave.

Detail

The detail

## Where Oklahoma roofs fail first

Oklahoma roofs take a specific kind of punishment: hail, extreme summer heat, sharp temperature swings, high wind and occasional ice. The places that fail first are the joints, not the field.

![A dormer wall meeting a dark shingle roof](/wp-content/uploads/lhcr/res-skylight-dark-1280.jpg?v=61db0cc8)

![Roof vents set into a gray shingle roof below a pair of windows](/wp-content/uploads/lhcr/res-roof-vents-1280.jpg?v=9715f5b5)

![Hail impact marks circled in chalk on a gray shingle roof](/wp-content/uploads/lhcr/hail-chalk-marks-grey-1280.jpg?v=c93a8783)

### Flashing fails before shingles do

A shingle field is a large, uniform, forgiving surface. Flashing is where the roof meets something else: a chimney, a wall, a valley, a vent pipe. Those transitions carry all the movement, and they are the parts most likely to have been rushed.

### Pipe boots are a predictable failure

The rubber collar around a plumbing vent has a shorter service life than the shingles around it. It sits in direct sun, flexes with every temperature swing, and eventually splits.

### Hail damage is rarely a hole

Hail usually bruises a shingle rather than breaking through it, so the damage is easy to miss from the ground. The shingle keeps working for a while and then starts to fail at each hit, which is why a storm is worth an inspection before anything gets patched.

> These guys are the best. They set up my roof replacement and gutters and it went off without a hitch. I also love they are local to me and that half the people who work here go to my church. They are very reliable, and explained the whole process, as this was my first claim. If you are looking for a great team of guys to fix your roof these are the guys you are looking for.

LE  **Lela Eberly** Google review · Oct 2026

> These guys were fantastic. Customer follow up was outstanding. Would definitely use these people again. We had a leak and they came out to do a repair and the repair didn’t look right so they came back and replaced the entire facet. Thank you Braden for taking care of everything!

SS  **Stan Street** Google review · May 2025

> Champion Roofing took care of our roof issues efficiently and very professional, would definitely recommend them.Will use them again for future work! Thank you again, for such a great experience!!! No stress involved

JN  **Jessica Navarrete** Google review · Apr 2025

> I can’t say enough good things about this company. I had a small roof repair and had contacted multiple companies with no results either the job was too small or they were booked or I never heard back from them. I contacted this company and not Only were they OK with doing a small repair they were able to get out to my home on the same day. They came and looked at the repair that needed to be done and scheduled somebody to come out the following day to get the work completed. Everyone was super nice and professional and absolute pleasure to work with. There is no other roofing company I will use except this one. You will not be disappointing using this company and with the service you will receive.

H  **Hol** Google review · Mar 2025

> UPDATE- Changing Previous 1 Star Review to 4 Stars Issues were finally addressed by management with sincerity. Contact Braden if you choose to use Champion. Request a top representative. Use someone else. I wish I would not have hired them. Almost 3 months and I still don't have the required certificate of completion to send to insurance adjuster so I can collect to pay Champion. Salesman ( the person that gives you a quote is NOT a roofer) texted me twice he would supply certificate, and did not. Then he left a phone message he was on his way to my house, NEVER showed up. Had issues with crew who installed. A supervisor came out to repair. Said he would make a priority that I would receive paperwork- NOT. Called office, was told they would email certificate. NO! Just another invoice to collect. It appears this company is all about volume. With dozens of salesmen and subcontractors, there's no quality control. Sell the job, knock it out quickly, move on. Call backs are apparently built in to the price, assuming most customers will let it go. I wish I would not have hired them!

> Awesome experience, very easy communication and flexibility. I had some minor roof repairs done as well as a full gutter install and they both turned out awesome. Also they have about 20+ colors to choose from which is very nice.

JY  **Joseph Yarbrough** Google review · Nov 2024

> Came and fixed an issue on my roof. Pointed out other issues I didn’t see and got those covered as well. Preston was awesome. Def recommend

NW  **Nick Whisenhunt** Google review · Aug 2024

> Blaine pursued the roof issues and discovered the problem was faulty shingles. He followed up with the manufacturer rep to get claim filed. I now have a new roof and gutters. I appreciate Blaine so very much.

Done properly

## What a lasting repair looks like

A patch that holds for a season is not the same thing as a repair. The difference is in three details.

![Close view of dark architectural shingle courses running up to the ridge cap](/wp-content/uploads/lhcr/res-shingle-texture-1280.jpg?v=0ea456a2)

01**Matched to what is there**Replacement shingles matched for profile and color as closely as the product allows, set and sealed by hand.

![New decking sheets set in among the old sheathing on an opened up roof](/wp-content/uploads/lhcr/replace-decking-patch-1280.jpg?v=d3e39ddf)

02**Repaired back to sound decking**If water has been getting in, the repair goes down to the deck rather than covering a soft spot.

![Two roofers working on a pitched roof](/wp-content/uploads/lhcr/crew-two-roofers-1280.jpg?v=0fb12b45)

03**Checked before anyone leaves**Flashing, fasteners and the surrounding shingles are checked once the repair is done, not just the spot that leaked.

Repair FAQs

## Roof repair questions

Cost, leaks, insurance and when to replace instead.

  Search these questions

How much does roof repair cost in Oklahoma City?

It depends entirely on what is wrong, which is why we do not quote repairs over the phone. A single flashing detail and a leak that has been running into the decking for two years are very different jobs.

What we can tell you is that the assessment costs nothing, and the price we give you afterwards is the price. If we run into something mid job we usually absorb it rather than sending you a change order.

   Can you find a leak if you cannot see damage from the roof?

Usually, yes, but it takes more than a drone. When the imagery cannot confirm damage or locate the source, we get on the roof and into the attic and trace the water back to where it is getting in, not just where it shows.

   Should I repair or replace my roof?

Repair makes sense when the damage is localized and the rest of the system has real service life left. A few lifted shingles on one slope, a failed pipe boot, or a flashing detail that was never done correctly are all repairs.

Replacement makes more sense when damage appears on several sides of the roof, when granular loss is widespread, or when you would be spending real money on a system that is close to the end of its life anyway. We will tell you which one you are looking at, including when the answer is the cheaper one.

   Do you repair roofs you did not install?

Yes. Most repair work is on roofs installed by somebody else.

What we will not do is patch over a problem we can see is going to come straight back, and then take your money for it. If a repair is not the right answer we will say so.

   Will a repair be covered by insurance?

Sometimes. Sudden damage from a hail or wind event is generally the kind of thing carriers cover. Gradual wear, age and deferred maintenance generally are not.

If the damage looks storm related we will document it, meet your adjuster at the property, and work through the scope with your carrier. The decision itself belongs to your insurer, not to us, and we will not promise you one.

   How quickly can you get out to look at it?

The office schedules an inspector out to the property, usually within a few days of your call. The drone survey takes about ten to fifteen minutes on site. Tracing a leak through the attic takes longer.

Champion Roofing does not run 24 hour or emergency dispatch. Calls received after 5pm go to voicemail, and the contact form is open around the clock.

**Nothing here matches that.**
