§ Oklahoma City fast facts

QUICK ANSWERS.

Do Oklahoma City roofers need a state contractor license?

Oklahoma does not issue a statewide roofing contractor license. However, the City of Oklahoma City requires roofing contractors to register with Development Services and carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage before pulling a permit. Always verify current registration requirements at okc.gov/permits before starting a new job.

§ Built for Oklahoma City

LOCAL FACTS.

OKC RESIDENTIAL ROOFING PERMIT FEE (RE-ROOF, SINGLE-FAMILY).

Oklahoma City Development Services charges a base building permit fee starting at approximately $75–$150 for a standard residential re-roof, with the final fee calculated on total project valuation per the city's adopted fee schedule. Contractors should confirm the current schedule at permits.okc.gov before bidding.

AVERAGE ROOFER LABOR RATE — OKLAHOMA CITY METRO.

Roofing installers in the Oklahoma City MSA earn a mean hourly wage of approximately $20–$23/hr per BLS Occupational Employment data for Oklahoma; experienced lead installers and foremen typically run $25–$30/hr in the current market.

HAIL-EVENT FREQUENCY — CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.

Oklahoma County averages 2–4 significant hail events (≥1-inch diameter) per year based on NOAA Storm Events Database records, with the peak storm season running April through June. This creates concentrated demand surges that compress estimate turnaround time to 24–48 hours before homeowners start calling the next contractor.

WIND-SPEED DESIGN REQUIREMENT — OKLAHOMA CITY.

Oklahoma City falls in a 115 mph (3-second gust) basic wind speed zone per ASCE 7-16 and the 2021 IRC wind map. Shingle products specified on OKC jobs should meet ASTM D3161 Class F or ASTM D7158 Class H wind-resistance ratings to satisfy code and insurance carrier requirements.

§ Why roofing pros in Oklahoma City use Estimate.Pro

THE BID ENGINE.

## Roofing Estimates in Oklahoma City Move at Hail-Storm Speed Oklahoma City sits inside Tornado Alley. When a hail event rolls through Moore, Edmond, or Yukon, your phone lights up overnight and stays lit for weeks. The contractors who win the most work aren't the ones who show up first — they're the ones who get a professional, itemized bid in the homeowner's hands before the competitor finishes measuring the ridge. Estimate.Pro is built for that pace. ### From Walkthrough to Bid in 8 Minutes You open the app on-site. You walk the roof — or document it with photos if it's still wet. AR measurement on supported devices captures pitch, square footage, and ridge/valley/hip lengths in real time. Camera and photo measurements are clearly marked as estimates, so there's no ambiguity in your paperwork. When you're done walking, the AI scope-of-work engine drafts the line items: tear-off layers, underlayment type, drip edge, decking repair allowance, ice-and-water shield at penetrations, ridge cap, flashing, and haul-off. You review, adjust material costs in your saved workspace, and send. Median time: 8 minutes. ### Oklahoma City Roofing Is Not Generic Roofing OKC jobs have specific conditions that generic estimating spreadsheets ignore. **Wind uplift requirements.** Oklahoma follows the 2021 IRC as adopted by the state, and Oklahoma City enforces Chapter 9 roof assembly provisions with attention to wind exposure. Shingle products need to meet ASTM D3161 Class F or ASTM D7158 Class H ratings in most residential scopes here. Your estimate should call that out, not leave it for the inspector to catch. **Hail-damage documentation.** Insurance-adjuster negotiations are part of the job in central Oklahoma. Estimate.Pro lets you attach photo documentation directly to line items, giving your supplemental a clean, trade-specific structure adjusters can follow. **Flat and low-slope commercial.** The surge of industrial and warehouse construction in OKC's I-240 and Kilpatrick Turnpike corridors means TPO and modified bitumen scopes are increasingly common. The app supports low-slope assemblies with separate line items for insulation board, cover board, membrane, and seam tape — not just "flat roof, per square." **Summer heat and scheduling.** July and August in OKC average highs above 95°F. Crews start early and productivity tapers by early afternoon. Build that into your labor hours on larger jobs rather than pricing as if it's April. ### What the App Calculates for You - Roof squares from AR or manual pitch-and-footprint input - Waste factor by roof complexity (hip roofs in OKC subdivisions run 10–15% waste vs. 8% on simple gables) - Material cost against your saved workspace — your negotiated lumber yard and distributor pricing, not national averages - Permit fee line item (pull the current OKC fee schedule and enter it once; it carries into every job) - Crew count and labor hours by scope - Stripe Connect invoicing on Elite — collect deposits and final payment without a separate system ### Pricing That Fits a One-Truck Operation or a Storm-Crew Company Free forever tier, no credit card. You can send real bids before you spend a dollar. Pro is $39 per seat per month. Elite is $79 per seat per month and adds Stripe Connect invoicing and invoice exports. If you're running multiple crews through storm season, Crew is $399 per month flat — one price for the whole team. Stripe Connect platform fee is 3% on Free, 0% on Pro and above. ### Built for 25 Trades, Sharpest on Roofing Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades. The roofing workflow is not a repurposed general-contractor template. It knows the difference between a 4:12 and a 10:12 pitch. It knows what a starter strip is. It separates labor for felt from labor for synthetic underlayment because those are different line items when a crew is pricing a job in Midwest City versus a custom build in Nichols Hills. If you're tired of copying last month's bid into a new spreadsheet and hoping you didn't miss a flashing line, try Estimate.Pro. No credit card. First bid in under 10 minutes.
