Midwest City grew up around Tinker Air Force Base, and many of its homes date from the 1940s to the 1960s. That age shapes almost every roof job here.
On an older house here, the plank decking is the first thing we look at, from the eave, before we price.
The city requires a permit for roof repair or replacement, and a city license for every roofing contractor on top of state registration.
Beyond that, the work is what you would expect: leaks, storm damage, lifted shingles, failed flashing, and full replacements when repair has stopped being the sensible spend. We roof commercial buildings across the east metro too.
How old the houses are, the storms on record and the city's permit rules, all from public sources. It is what we check before we quote.
Two in five Midwest City homes date from the 1940s to the 1960s, when roofs were usually decked with plank boards. Gaps between those boards are the code issue we document most often on houses this age, and the city expects a solid deck under a new roof.

Not always, but often enough that we check every time. Many homes here were built in the 1940s to 60s with plank decking, and the city expects a solid deck under a new roof. We check for it before we price, so the price already reflects it, and photograph what we find once the old roof is off.
