FAQs

In the Oklahoma climate, a typical roof has an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years. However, this can vary depending on factors such as material quality, installation, and maintenance. AK Roofing & Construction can let you know where your roofing situation stands in terms of lifespan and longevity.

Most homeowner's insurance policies cover structural damage to roofs caused by specific perils like hail, wind, fire, and falling trees. It's crucial to ensure your policy is based on replacement cost value (RCV). Coverage typically includes repair or replacement after you pay your deductible, but some policies may have exclusions for certain conditions. Review your policy carefully to understand your specific coverage.

A complete roof replacement isn't always necessary for a leaky roof. The decision between repair and replacement often depends on the extent of the damage. For newer roofs with minor issues like a few damaged or missing shingles, a repair may be cost-effective. However, if the damage is extensive, involves an older roof, or multiple layers of roofing materials, a partial or full replacement might be required. Our expert team can assess your situation and recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective solution.

The cost of a new roof is influenced by several factors, including the roof's size and shape, the materials used, and local labor rates. Additional features like chimneys and skylights can also affect the overall price. It's important to consider disposal costs for the old roofing materials as well.

Common indicators of a failing roof include loose or missing shingles, visible sagging, exposed nail heads, curled, cracked, or blistering shingles, granules or debris in gutters, missing or damaged flashing, dark or stained areas, unusually high heating and cooling bills, and water leaks in top-floor ceilings. It's worth noting that an asphalt shingle roof over 15 years old may need replacement even without visible signs of failure.
