Norman mixes a historic core with newer neighborhoods, and has taken 2.75 to 3 inch hail (April 2021) and an EF2 tornado (February 2023). We repair and replace roofs across both.
Norman's older neighborhoods, Chautauqua, Miller and Southridge, date from the 1910s to the 1950s, and the city's preservation guidelines decide what can go on those roofs. Swapping one composition shingle for another is simple. Original wood, tile and slate are kept and repaired in kind, which is specialty work we do.
The newer parts of Norman are mostly sheet decked houses on their first or second roof, where the questions are the shingle, the ventilation and the warranty.
Whether or not a permit is needed, we build to Norman's code, and ice and water barrier and drip edge go on almost every roof we install anyway.
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.
Norman mixes a historic core of 1910s to 1950s houses with newer subdivisions on the east and west sides. A Chautauqua bungalow and a 2005 house on the west side need very different things from a new roof, starting with what is under the shingles.

Yes. In Chautauqua, Miller and Southridge, replacing an existing composition roof with a contemporary asphalt or laminated shingle does not need a Certificate of Appropriateness. Original wood, tile and slate roofs are meant to be kept and repaired in kind, and that is specialty work we do.
Three laps of the roof, two with the drone and a third on foot, findings talked through on site, and a written report by email whether or not anything needs doing. It costs you nothing and gives you a record of the roof's condition.

If your roof went through a storm and nobody has looked at it since, a free drone assessment will tell you whether anything needs doing, in writing.
No, not for the roof covering itself. Norman does not require a permit to replace shingles or felt, but the work still has to meet code, and storm damage that reaches the rafters or joists needs a building permit.
