The AE Roofing blog. Straight talk about Tulsa roofing.
We write about roofing the way we talk on job sites: direct, accurate, and without padding it out with things that do not help you. Oklahoma roofing has its own rules. The hail is worse than most of the country. The insurance market is specific. The materials that work elsewhere do not always work here.
These articles are written by the people who actually install roofs in Tulsa. We cover hail damage, insurance claims, material comparisons, storm chasers, cost breakdowns, and everything else homeowners ask about before they make a decision.
Read what applies to you. If you have a question that is not covered, call us. We answer the phone and we do not charge for advice.
