According to the National Weather Service in Norman, over 80 percent of Oklahoma tornadoes occur in the four month period between March and June.
When hail and wind are involved, damage to a roof can happen. Dime sized and golf ball sized hail can cause severe impact damage to your shingles. It’s like striking your shingles with a hammer over and over again. When this happens, water can enter through the impact locations or your shingles can break loose from each other allowing water through the building envelope.
The roof is one of the most important elements of the building envelope. Any broken seal or gaps between flashings, shingles, or substrate can allow water to penetrate and damage can occur. If wind or hail has caused damage to your roof, call a professional contractor for a free damage analysis.
Inspecting your roof after a storm is the first step in assessing damage. Damage can take many forms – some damage is obvious to identify – some damage is subtler and an expert roof inspector would be best able to diagnose.
So if you suspect your commercial or residential roof may have storm damage, call Saratoga Roofing & Construction for your free damage analysis.

A common mistake many building and homeowners make is waiting too long to notify their insurance company of damage. Most insurance policies have a time window for reporting damage. Make sure to have your roof inspected soon after a storm to ensure the damage, if any, is properly reported, recorded and analyzed.
