Storm Season FAQ
Answers Tulsa-area homeowners ask us every spring.
When is Oklahoma's storm season, and how should I prepare my roof beforehand?
Oklahoma's most active storm season runs from March through June, with a second hail and wind window in the fall. Before storms arrive, clean your gutters, trim overhanging tree limbs, check for loose or missing shingles, confirm you have a tarp on hand, and photograph your roof and belongings so your insurance file is ready if damage occurs.
What should I do immediately after hail or high winds damage my roof?
Stay safe first — never climb on a wet or damaged roof. If water is getting in, have a licensed contractor install a temporary tarp right away. Photograph all damage before any repairs, then contact your insurance company and file your claim promptly. Proof Construction offers 24/7 emergency response in the Tulsa metro at (918) 734-4444.
How do I verify a roofing contractor's credentials in Oklahoma?
Ask for the contractor's Oklahoma Construction Industries Board (CIB) license number and verify it on the CIB website, confirm they carry workers' compensation and general liability insurance, check their physical address and reviews, and get everything in writing — including the warranty. Proof Construction is CIB #80004070, an Owens Corning Preferred contractor, and has served Tulsa since 2015.
How long do I have to file a storm damage insurance claim in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma law generally allows two years from the date of loss to file a property damage claim, but carriers often require prompt notice and documentation. File as soon as you safely can — take photos, tarp any openings, and keep receipts for emergency repairs. The sooner you file, the sooner your claim is adjusted and paid.
