Question 1

How do I know if I need a roof repair or full replacement?

Accepted Answer

Our professional inspection will determine the best solution. Generally, if your roof is under 15 years old with localized damage, repair may be sufficient. Roofs over 20 years old or with widespread damage typically need replacement. We provide honest assessments based on your roof's condition and your budget.

Question 2

How long does a roof replacement take in Oklahoma?

Accepted Answer

Most residential roof replacements take 2-5 days depending on size, weather, and complexity. We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards. Commercial projects vary based on size and type of roofing system.

Question 3

Do you help with insurance claims for storm damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We work directly with insurance companies and help guide you through the entire claims process. Our team has extensive experience with storm damage claims in Oklahoma and can help maximize your coverage.

Question 4

What roofing materials work best in Oklahoma weather?

Accepted Answer

Oklahoma's severe weather requires durable materials. We recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or commercial TPO systems. All materials we install are designed to withstand high winds, hail, and temperature extremes common in our region.

Question 5

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes, IGR Roofing is fully licensed and insured in Oklahoma and Kansas. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers' compensation to protect our customers and crew.

Question 6

What should I do immediately after storm damage?

Accepted Answer

First, ensure your safety. If there's immediate danger, call emergency services. Then document damage with photos, contact your insurance company, and call us for emergency tarping if needed. Don't attempt roof repairs yourself.

Question 7

Will my insurance cover storm damage repairs?

Accepted Answer

Most homeowner's insurance policies cover wind and hail damage. We'll inspect your roof, document all damage, and work with your insurance adjuster to ensure proper coverage. Our experience helps maximize your claim.

Question 8

How quickly can you respond to emergency storm damage?

Accepted Answer

We offer 24/7 emergency response for severe storm damage. Our team can typically provide emergency tarping within hours to prevent further damage to your property.

Question 9

How do I know if my commercial roof needs to be replaced or just maintained?

Accepted Answer

That's exactly what our free inspection answers. Many commercial roofs that building owners think need replacement actually have years of life remaining with proper maintenance or a coating restoration. We'll give you a detailed, honest assessment of your roof's current condition, its estimated remaining life, and your best options. If maintenance will keep it going, we'll tell you. If replacement is truly necessary, we'll explain why and help you plan for it.

Question 10

How long does a commercial flat roof last in Oklahoma?

Accepted Answer

Most commercial flat roofing systems last between 15 and 30 years depending on the material, installation quality, and maintenance history. A well-maintained roof can last 5–10 years longer than a neglected one. Oklahoma's severe weather can accelerate wear if damage isn't caught and repaired promptly, which is why regular inspections are so important.

Question 11

What does a commercial roof maintenance program include?

Accepted Answer

Our programs are customized to your building, but typically include biannual inspections (spring and fall), drain and gutter cleaning, preventive repairs for minor issues, detailed condition reports with photos, and post-storm inspections after significant weather events. We track your roof's condition over time so you always know where things stand and can plan ahead.

Question 12

How much does a commercial roof inspection cost?

Accepted Answer

Our initial commercial roof inspection is free. We believe every property owner deserves to understand their roof's condition without a financial barrier. After the inspection, you'll receive a full report with our findings and recommendations — no obligation to move forward with any work.

Question 13

Can you help with insurance claims for storm damage?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Insurance claim advocacy is one of our core strengths. We'll document all damage thoroughly, meet with your adjuster on-site, and advocate for full and fair coverage. Our documentation from ongoing maintenance is especially powerful during claims — it establishes your roof's condition before the storm, which strengthens your case significantly.

Question 14

What's the difference between a roof coating and a roof replacement?

Accepted Answer

A roof coating is applied over your existing roof to seal leaks, add waterproofing, and extend the system's life by 10–20 years. It costs 50–70% less than a full replacement and causes far less disruption to your operations. A replacement involves removing the existing roof system and installing a completely new one. Coatings are ideal when the underlying roof structure is still sound; replacement is necessary when it's not. We'll always recommend the most cost-effective path.

Question 15

How often should I have my roof inspected?

Accepted Answer

We recommend annual inspections, plus after any severe weather. Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive repairs and help maintain your warranty.

Question 16

What's included in your roof installation warranty?

Accepted Answer

We provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Manufacturer warranties typically range from 25-50 years, and our workmanship warranty covers installation quality.

Question 17

Can you match my existing roof color and style?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We work with all major manufacturers and can match or complement your existing roof style. We'll bring samples to help you choose the perfect color and style for your home.
