Roofing in Oklahoma is impact plus uplift, often on the same afternoon. Hail bruises a composition field until granules collect in the elbows of the gutters. Wind gets under a tab, folds a ridge cap, and drives rain sideways into a low-pitch ranch that never had much slope to shed it. Outbuildings in metal dent and lose screws. The house roof is the one over your head, and it rarely fails in a way the ceiling respects.
From the yard, look at south and west slopes, the ridge line, and any place a porch ties into a wall. Say whether you see missing tabs, exposed mat, a wavy ridge, or just a gutter full of grit after a storm that left the yard pale. Brick houses hide step flashing at the chimney and the sidewall. That metal, not the middle of the field, is where wind-driven rain likes to start a stain.
Do not climb a bruised slope to prove bravery. Hail-slick grit and a lifted tab are a bad combination under a boot. Say what the attic or the upstairs ceiling is doing: a new ring, a drip only when the wind is from the south, insulation stuck to the deck. If nothing inside is wet yet, still say the outside truth. A bruise can be a claim fact and a leak waiting on the next front.
Age is whatever you actually know. A roof put on before you bought the place is not a year you should invent. Describe curling, bald spots, and patched pipe boots if you can see them from a ladder you already own and use safely, or simply from the ground with binoculars. Mention skylights and turbine vents, because wind treats those as handles. Leave the deck judgment to someone standing on it for a living reason.
The wind will be back, and so will hail season, which here is less a season than a habit. Call with the town, the slope that took the hit, and whether water is already inside. A lap around the house at gutter height is the right prep. Call the number on this page.
