Roof replacement in Oklahoma City
Full roof replacement and new roof installation: a complete tear off, the decking inspected and photographed, and a new roof system backed by a written workmanship warranty.
When we give you a price, that is the price
If we come across something mid job, we usually absorb it rather than passing it on to you.
The only exception is a condition nobody could reasonably have known about, such as a structural problem hidden under the decking. Even then, you hear about it before anything gets done, not on the final invoice.
- Assessed before it is priced. The number already reflects what is up there.
- Decking photographed. Once the tear off exposes it, you see what we see.
- A foreman on site through the day. Managing materials, safety and the cleanup at the end.
- Two year written workmanship warranty. Plus transferable 25 and 30 year manufacturer options.
When replacement makes more sense than repair
If two or three of these are true for your roof, a repair is probably not the right spend.
Damage across multiple slopes
Hail bruising or granular loss on several slopes is a roof problem rather than a spot problem.
The system is near the end anyway
Spending significant money on a roof with a couple of years left in it rarely returns the outlay.
Repeat repairs in the same area
A leak that keeps coming back usually means the underlying detail, not the surface, is what failed.
Granular loss in the gutters
Significant granule accumulation is the roof surface telling you it is wearing out.
Decking movement underfoot
Where the deck has softened, the problem is structural and a surface repair will not address it.
You are selling the house
An inspection report finding a failing roof will surface during a sale. Better to know now than in negotiation.
Two or three of these sound familiar? The assessment is free.
What happens on a replacement
Six stages, and you know where you are at every one of them.
-
01
Assessment
Three inspection laps, two by drone and one on foot, findings talked through on site, then a written report and a price by email.
-
02
Insurance, if applicable
We meet your adjuster at the property and work through the approved scope with your carrier.
-
03
Selection
Material and color chosen with real guidance about how it will read on your house, not just a sample board.
-
04
Protection and tear off
Landscaping covered and protected first. Then the old roof comes off completely.
-
05
Decking and system
The deck gets inspected and reported. Then underlayment, flashing, covering, ridge and ventilation, in order.
-
06
Cleanup and paperwork
Debris cleared, magnets over the ground for nails, materials accounted for, warranty documents handed over.
Protecting the property while it happens
Tear off is messy by definition, and the part you experience is the site, not the specification.
Gardens and flower beds get covered before work begins, as a system, not improvised on the day. A foreman stays on site managing what moves in and out, keeping the site safe, verifying materials against the specification and supervising the cleanup.
The cleanup includes magnetic sweeps for nails across the ground, debris cleared and materials accounted for. It is the part of the job you see most closely, and a fair proxy for how the rest was done.
Then the paperwork. At the end you get the warranty documentation, and where insurance is involved, the reconciliation of the approved scope. Final payment comes after completion, and where a carrier is involved, when the final insurance check arrives.
What goes into a roof that lasts
The shingle on top is rarely what decides how long a roof lasts. What sits under it does. Select a layer to see what goes into yours.
What only a tear off reveals
You cannot judge decking through an existing roof, which is why a complete tear off matters. Once the old roof is off, soft boards, water damage, inadequate thickness and gaps that fail code all become obvious. We document what we find. On an insurance job, decking that fails code is photographed and sent to your carrier as a supplement, so the approved scope matches the roof as it is.
The barrier that works when the covering does not
Underlayment is the secondary defense for when wind driven rain gets past the surface, which on an Oklahoma roof it periodically will. Ice and water protection goes into the areas that matter most: eaves, valleys and around every penetration. It is invisible once the covering goes down, so ask what is going under yours.
The part that decides the outcome
Every transition is a potential leak: chimneys, wall junctions, valleys, vent pipes, anything passing through the roof plane. Doing these properly takes time and metal. Doing them quickly takes sealant. Roofs that leak within a few years of replacement almost always leak at a transition, not in the middle of a slope.
Choosing the right covering
We install across the whole range and will tell you where you do not need to spend more. Where the hail exposure here justifies it, we try to get customers into a Class 4 impact rated shingle, and it is worth asking your carrier how they treat impact rated roofing. What we will not do is install a product we are not willing to warranty. When a product we were installing was recalled, we stopped using it and went back to one we trusted. We are also a GAF listed FORTIFIED Roof contractor. FORTIFIED is a construction standard for roofs built to resist high wind and hail; ask us whether it suits your house, and ask your carrier how they treat it.
Easy to ignore, expensive to skip
A roof that cannot breathe cooks its own decking from underneath and shortens the life of the covering above it. Oklahoma summers make that considerably worse than it is in a milder climate. Ridge and intake ventilation is part of the system, not an accessory somebody adds if there is budget left over.

What customers say about their new roof
From the Champion Roofing Google profile, published exactly as written.
What every Champion roof includes
Whatever the budget, every customer gets the same standard. Here is what that standard looks like on your roof.
-
Ice and water at the perimeter, valleys and penetrations
We do not like to put on bad materials. Ice and water protection goes around the perimeter, into the valleys and at every penetration, and we make sure the roof is properly ventilated so it does not wear out earlier than it should.
-
Your decking checked against code
Older 1x6 and 1x8 decking shrinks and gaps over the years until it will no longer hold a nail. We look at it from the eave before we price, and inspect and photograph the rest once the old roof is off. If your roof is an insurance claim, decking that fails code is photographed and sent to your carrier as a supplement, and we meet your adjuster at the property and handle the roofing paperwork.
On insurance claims -
The crew that starts your roof finishes it
A foreman is on site all day, checking the materials are right before they go on the roof and keeping the crew working through anything that changes mid job.
-
Your yard protected, then swept with magnets
Before work starts, we set up a system around the house to protect the gardens and beds. At the end, the ground is swept with magnets, debris is cleared and materials are accounted for. The foreman stays until the last trailer rolls out, checking the driveway for nails.
-
Warranties packaged up and handed to you
Every roof carries our two year written workmanship warranty and the manufacturer's warranty. On GAF and Malarkey systems, qualifying customers can upgrade to 25 or 30 year coverage that includes extended workmanship coverage from the manufacturer and is transferable.

What a replacement looks like, stage by stage
Most of what decides how long a roof lasts happens in the hours before the new shingles go on.
Roof replacement questions
The practical ones people ask before committing to a new roof.
How long does a roof replacement take?
A straightforward shingle replacement on a typical Oklahoma City home is finished in a day, two at most. Tile, slate, Brava synthetic and complex steep slope roofs are a week long job or more, because the detailing on those systems cannot be rushed without causing problems later.
Weather is the variable we cannot control. We delay or stop work when rain, snow or unsafe heat would put the crew or your property at risk. Sometimes that means starting later in the afternoon rather than not at all.
What happens if you find bad decking under my old roof?
You get told, with photographs. We look at the decking from the eave before we price, and the rest is inspected and photographed once the old roof is off. Where boards are soft, damaged or do not meet code, that gets documented rather than covered over.
On an insurance claim, that decking is photographed and sent to your carrier as a supplement, so the approved scope covers what the adjuster could not see on day one. If you are paying for the roof yourself, the next question explains how we handle the price.
Will the price change once you start?
No. When we give you a price, that is the price, and we do not use change orders to make up the difference later.
If something comes up mid job, we usually absorb it rather than passing it along. The exception would be a hidden condition, such as a structural issue nobody could have seen, and even then you hear about it before any work is done.
Can I choose the color and style of the shingle?
Yes. Color is one of the biggest decisions on a new roof, because you will look at it for twenty years or more.
We will bring options and talk through how they will look on your house and your street, instead of handing you a sample board and leaving you to guess.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
Every roof we install carries a two year written workmanship warranty from Champion Roofing, covering anything installed improperly or a missed detail that causes a leak.
Qualifying customers can also purchase higher tier GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed or Malarkey manufacturer warranties, available in 25 and 30 year options. Those include extended manufacturer backed workmanship coverage and are transferable if you sell the house.
Do you offer impact resistant shingles for hail?
Yes. Where it makes sense we try to get customers into a Class 4 impact rated shingle, which is designed to stand up better to hail than a standard product.
It is worth asking your insurance carrier about this before you decide, because some carriers treat impact rated roofing differently on premiums. That is a conversation to have with your insurer.
