It's Roofing Season in Oklahoma
Why Summer Is the Smartest Time to Replace or Repair Your Roof
We’ll walk you through why summer is ideal for roof work, how our free upgrade to Impact Resistant shingles can add protection and value, the insurance savings you could unlock, and why working with a trusted local company like Parker Brothers Roofing is the smart choice.
Oklahoma’s Wild Weather: Timing Your Roof Care Right
Oklahoma is no stranger to extreme weather. Spring brings a barrage of tornadoes, hailstorms, and high winds, with the state averaging 7-9 hail events annually, according to NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center. These storms can wreak havoc on roofs, leaving behind cracked shingles, granule loss, or even hidden structural damage. In fact, Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) research indicates that 70–90 percent of catastrophic homeowners insurance losses involve roof damage, predominantly from severe wind and hail.
Once the storm season calms, summer offers a golden window for roof inspections and replacements. The stable, warm weather allows for efficient, timely repairs, and addressing issues now ensures your home is ready for winter’s chill. Waiting too long risks undetected damage worsening, potentially leading to leaks or costly repairs. So, why wait? Now’s the time to get ahead of the game.
Tip: After a storm, check your roof for signs of damage: missing or cracked shingles, piles of granules in your gutters or near downspouts, or dented metal vents. These are red flags that call for a professional inspection.
The Power of a Quality Roof: Why Inspections and Replacements Matter
A roof inspection might not sound exciting, but it’s one of the smartest moves you can make as a homeowner. Here’s why acting now pays off:
Prevent Costly Damage: Small issues, such as a damaged shingle or a minor leak, can escalate into major problems if left unaddressed. The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) estimates that unaddressed roof damage can increase repair costs by up to 60% over time.
Extend Roof Lifespan: Timely repairs can add years to your roof’s life. A well-maintained asphalt shingle roof can last 20-30 years, when hail or high wind impacts are not a factor..
Boost Energy Efficiency: Modern roofing materials, like ENERGY STAR-rated shingles, reflect heat and can cut cooling costs by up to 15%, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. In Oklahoma’s scorching summers, that’s real savings.
Increase Home Value: A new roof isn’t just practical—it’s a selling point. Studies from Remodeling Magazine show a new roof can boost your home’s resale value by 6-8%, often recouping 60-70% of the installation cost.
Parker Brothers provides free, no-pressure roof inspections—because sometimes, all you need is a simple repair. We’re not out to replace every roof we step on. Our goal is to earn your trust now, so you’ll call us when you need us.
Free Impact-Resistant Shingles: Built for Oklahoma’s Toughest Storms
At Parker Brothers Roofing, we’re going the extra mile to protect your home. If you need a new roof, we’ll upgrade you to Impact-Resistant (IR) shingles for free. These shingles, rated Class 4 under the UL 2218 standard, are engineered to withstand hail up to 2 inches in diameter and winds up to 110 mph—perfect for Oklahoma’s unpredictable weather.
IR shingles are tougher, reducing the risk of damage during storms and saving you from frequent repairs. According to the IBHS, homes with IR shingles are 50% less likely to file hail-related claims. That’s peace of mind you can count on.
Save Big on Insurance with Impact-Resistant Shingles
Here’s another reason to love IR shingles: they can slash your homeowners’ insurance premiums. In Oklahoma, insurers offer discounts of 10-30% for homes with IR shingles, depending on the policy. For example, a homeowner paying $2,000 annually could save $200-$600 per year—savings that add up fast. Check with your insurer to confirm, but upgrading your roof with Parker Brothers could mean more money in your pocket.

Roofing: Not Glamorous, But Incredibly Valuable
Fact: According to the NRCA, 90% of homeowners notice an improved appearance after a roof replacement.
Let’s be honest: a new roof isn’t as flashy as a kitchen remodel or a backyard oasis. But it’s one of the most valuable upgrades you can make. A strong roof protects your home, your belongings, and your family from the elements. Plus, it offers a chance to boost your home’s curb appeal, with options like sleek black, crisp white, or warm bronze gutters to complement your exterior and make your home stand out.
Why Local Matters: Avoiding the “Storm Chaser” Trap
After a big storm, you might see out-of-town roofing companies, often called “storm chasers,” flooding Oklahoma neighborhoods. While a slick on-the-spot sales pitch may sound tempting, they often come with risks. The Better Business Bureau reports that storm chasing roofer complaints spike after major weather events, ranging from issues like subpar materials and workmanship, to inability to honor warranties, and even not being properly insured should something happen on/to your property (eeeek!)
