Every time Oklahoma gets hit by a major hail storm, the same thing starts happening almost immediately.
Out-of-town roofing companies start flooding neighborhoods, knocking on doors, promising “free roofs,” wanting contracts signed on the spot, and asking homeowners to trust people they’ve never even heard of before.
As somebody who lives and works here in Oklahoma, it’s honestly frustrating to watch.
At TopViewRoofing, we’ve been roofing homes here for over 17 years, and after every storm, we hear the same stories from homeowners:
- roofing companies disappear halfway through jobs
- warranties never get honored
- crews cut corners
- homeowners can’t get callbacks
- People paid money up front and never saw the company again
Unfortunately, storms bring opportunity for bad roofing companies.
And right now, after the hailstorms in South Oklahoma City, Norman, Mustang, Yukon, Moore, and Newcastle, there are already a lot of companies moving into neighborhoods trying to capitalize on homeowners dealing with damage and stress.
We’re not saying every company from out of town is bad.
But homeowners absolutely need to slow down and do their homework before signing anything.
One of the biggest red flags is when a roofing company immediately starts asking for large deposits or money up front before materials are delivered or work even begins.
A reputable roofing company should be financially stable enough to operate without pressuring homeowners to hand over large sums of money immediately.
Another thing homeowners should verify is licensing and insurance.
Ask questions.
Request proof.
Look them up online.
See how long they’ve actually been operating.
Many storm companies create temporary local phone numbers and temporary websites to make them look established when they may have only been around for a few weeks.
The problem is that once storm season is over, many of those companies are gone.
That leaves the homeowner stuck if leaks develop later or workmanship problems show up down the road.
At TopViewRoofing, we believe homeowners deserve honest answers, real inspections, and quality work without pressure tactics.
We’re local.
We live here.
Our reputation matters here.
The owner of TopViewRoofing lives in the Vinehaven subdivision in South Oklahoma City, and our company has worked on homes all across Oklahoma City, Norman, Moore, Yukon, Mustang, and surrounding communities for years.
We understand Oklahoma weather because we deal with it ourselves.
That’s also why we encourage homeowners not to panic after storms.
Not every roof needs full replacement.
Some only need repairs.
Some may have cosmetic damage, but still have life left in them.
A good roofing company should explain the difference honestly instead of trying to sell the most expensive job possible.
We’ve also seen homeowners get pressured into signing contracts before insurance inspections even happen. That can create confusion and headaches later if coverage gets denied or adjusted differently than expected.
Take your time.
Ask questions.
Get multiple opinions if needed.
A legitimate roofing contractor should never get angry because a homeowner wants to do research before making a major decision.
We also strongly recommend checking:
- Google reviews
- Better Business Bureau history
- local references
- physical office locations
- manufacturer certifications
- proof of insurance
And if something feels off during the conversation, trust your gut.
Most Oklahoma homeowners are hardworking people just trying to protect their homes and families after storms. They shouldn’t have to worry about whether the roofing company showing up at their door tomorrow will still be around six months from now.
That’s one reason local roofing companies matter.
At TopViewRoofing, we plan on being here long after the storm trucks leave town.
If your home was hit by hail in South Oklahoma City, Moore, Norman, Yukon, Mustang, Newcastle or surrounding areas, we’re happy to provide a free inspection and honest assessment of the damage.
No pressure.
No gimmicks.
No scare tactics.
