Tulsa Roof Replacement — What You're Actually Paying For
A roof replacement isn't just shingles. It's a multi-layer system engineered to protect your home from Oklahoma's most extreme weather — 90 mph straight-line winds, golf ball-sized hail, and freeze-thaw cycles that destroy inferior installations within 5 years. When Proof Construction replaces your roof, we tear off every layer down to the bare decking, inspect for hidden rot, and rebuild from the deck up using materials rated specifically for our climate zone. No shortcuts. No overlays. No builder-grade components disguised as premium.
The average Tulsa roof replacement costs $10,000-$15,000. That's not a number we pull from national averages — it's based on 3,000+ Tulsa metro installations across every neighborhood from Brookside to Bixby, Maple Ridge to Owasso. Get an instant estimate using our ROI Calculator.
What's Included in Every Proof Construction Roof Replacement
Full Tear-Off to Bare Decking
We never overlay new shingles on old ones — a practice that traps moisture, hides decking rot, and voids manufacturer warranties. Every layer comes off. We inspect every square foot of decking and replace any compromised sections at cost ($75/sheet).
Ice & Water Shield
Self-adhering membrane installed at all eaves (24" minimum), valleys, and around all penetrations. This is your last line of defense against ice dams and wind-driven rain — the two biggest causes of Oklahoma roof leaks after storms. Code minimum is 24" at eaves; we often exceed it.
Synthetic Underlayment
Full-coverage synthetic underlayment over the entire roof deck. Lighter, stronger, and more tear-resistant than traditional felt. Provides a secondary water barrier that won't wrinkle, absorb moisture, or degrade during the 1-2 day installation window before shingles go on.
Drip Edge & Starter Strip
Metal drip edge at all rakes and eaves — prevents water from wicking back under shingles at the roof edge. Starter strip shingles with enhanced adhesive sealant along the entire perimeter for wind uplift protection. These two components are where budget roofers cut corners; we don't.
Architectural Shingles
Owens Corning Duration, GAF Timberline HDZ, or CertainTeed Landmark — the top 3 shingle systems in North America. 25-30+ year lifespan. 110-130 mph wind rating. Class 3 or 4 impact resistance options available. Factory-certified installation for full manufacturer warranty.
Ridge Vent & Attic Ventilation
Continuous ridge vent with external baffle — exhausts hot attic air across the entire ridge line. Combined with balanced soffit intake, this drops attic temperatures 30-40°F in Tulsa summers, extends shingle life, and reduces cooling costs. We calculate the ventilation ratio for your specific roof.
