From the first nail to the last cleanup magnet pass — a real timeline.

Short answer

Read on for the full version, but the short answer is: yes, it's easier than you think, and we make it painless. Most jobs are done in 1-2 days, and we handle 100% of the insurance paperwork if applicable.

What homeowners typically ask us

Here are the questions we answer in our showroom every week:

• How loud is it? — Loud but not unbearable. Most homeowners go to work and come home to a finished roof.
• Do I have to move out? — No. Pets stay home. Kids stay home. We work around you.
• What about my landscaping? — We tarp shrubs, run plywood across delicate areas, and finish with a magnet sweep for nails. Zero nails in tires is our promise.
• How long after the storm can I file? — Most carriers allow 12 months in Oklahoma. Don't push it — file early.
• Can I just pay cash and skip insurance? — Absolutely. Some homeowners do because they want simplicity, no deductible, and no premium hit.
