Moore has taken some of the most severe weather in the country. After a storm here, documentation and insurance work matter as much as the roofing.
From 4.6 inch hail in 2010 to the 2013 tornado that led the city to write a new building code, Moore's weather shapes how a roof here should be documented, repaired and built.
Our inspector makes three laps: two with the drone, then a third on foot with a handheld camera. Soft metals, gutters, window screens and fencing show hail marks you can see from the ground, while bruising on a shingle usually needs a closer look. Together they establish what the storm did. We are at the property when your adjuster comes out.
What we will not do is promise you an approval. Your carrier decides that. We document, we make the case, and we tell you honestly if we think your roof was not damaged, even when the whole street is being replaced.
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.
More than a third of Moore's homes were built between 2000 and 2019, many of them rebuilt to the city's 2014 wind code. Those roofs sit on well fastened sheet decking; the older homes in between do not always, and that is worth knowing before a storm, not after.
