How Oklahoma City’s Weather Impacts Your Roof and What You Can Do About It
When you live in Oklahoma City, your roof takes a beating year-round. From spring hailstorms to scorching summer heat, your home’s first line of defense has to work overtime. At Empower Construction Co., we help homeowners stay ahead of the damage with roof systems that are built for Oklahoma’s unique climate.
🌪️ Oklahoma Storms Are No Joke
Spring and early summer bring powerful thunderstorms, high winds, and damaging hail across the metro—from Edmond to Moore. Even small hailstones can crack shingles and open the door to long-term leaks if not addressed.
☀️ Heat Weakens Your Roof Over Time
It’s not just storms—extreme heat also causes shingles to curl, crack, and lose their protective granules. Prolonged UV exposure breaks down materials, especially on older roofs that haven't had preventative maintenance.
🌧️ Gutters and Flashing Matter, Too
We see a lot of preventable damage from poor water drainage. If your gutters are clogged or your flashing is failing, heavy rains will sneak under your shingles and lead to rot, mold, and costly structural issues.
✅ What You Can Do
Schedule regular roof inspections—at least once a year and after every major storm.
Replace aging materials before small problems become big ones.
Invest in quality installation and proper ventilation to extend your roof’s life and performance.
Empower Construction Co. provides detailed roof inspections and honest guidance. We live here, too—and we build roofs that stand up to everything Oklahoma throws at them.
