Yukon grew fastest in the 1970s, and almost a third of its homes date from that decade. Those roofs are typically on their second or third covering, which is when worn flashing, tired vents and soft spots in the deck start to show up together.

Roofing in Yukon, Oklahoma
Many Yukon roofs are well into their life. We repair and replace them, and install metal on homes, shops and outbuildings.
1970s homes, Yukon's rules and metal where it fits
On a Yukon house from the 1970s we check the flashing, the vents and the deck together, because at that age they tend to fail together. The city's permit and decking rules are set out in the local facts below.
We install standing seam, metal shingle and corrugated metal as well as shingle. On shops and outbuildings with long, simple runs, metal is often the right answer. On some houses it is not, and we will say so.

- Permit and city registration. What Yukon requires of every roofer.
- Metal roofing. Standing seam, metal shingle and corrugated.

What Yukon homeowners ask us before they book.
What should I check on an older roof in Yukon?
Flashing at chimneys and walls, pipe boots and vents, and the deck itself. Yukon's guidelines call for missing, damaged or rusted flashing and roof jacks to be replaced on a re-roof, and for a deck with no gaps over a quarter inch. A free drone assessment will show what your roof needs.
Is metal right for a shop or outbuilding?
Often, yes. Long, simple roof runs suit metal well: it sheds water fast and handles wind properly when it is fastened correctly. The detailing decides how long it lasts, so panel layout and flashing get planned before anything is ordered.
What decides whether a metal roof lasts?
The detailing, not the panel. Panel layout, allowance for thermal movement and the flashing at every transition get planned before anything is ordered, not resolved on the roof.
Will you tell me if metal is wrong for my roof?
Yes. There are roofs where it is the wrong answer on cost, on look or on the building, and we would rather say so than sell it.
What storms are on record around Yukon?
Among the storms on record around Yukon: 3.25 inch hail (May 20, 2013); an EF2 tornado and 2.25 inch hail (May 19, 2024); and 1.75 to 2 inch hail (Mar 10, 2026).
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.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Yukon?
Yes. In Yukon the roofing contractor pulls the permit before work starts and posts it so it is visible from the street. Roofers need a City of Yukon contractor registration as well as state registration.
