Oklahoma Catastrophe Team is a roofing contractor focused on damage assessment and replacement following severe weather, operating in the Oklahoma City metro area with expertise in hail and wind damage claims processing.
The company handles residential roof inspections, damage documentation, and full replacement following storms. Unlike general roofers who bid on any roof project, OCT specializes in catastrophic weather damage, which means they spend significant time with insurance companies, have systems built around claim navigation, and often work in high-volume periods after hail storms or derechos. They serve homeowners who have filed or are considering filing claims rather than those seeking routine maintenance or reroof projects unrelated to weather events.
The company installs composition shingles, architectural shingles, and impact-resistant shingles (a hail-resistant option that can lower insurance premiums in Oklahoma). Warranties vary by material: standard composition shingles typically carry 20 to 30-year coverage, while impact-resistant products often extend to 40 or 50 years depending on the manufacturer. Labor warranties are usually 10 years. Confirm current license and insurance status directly with the company; Oklahoma requires roofing contractors to be licensed through the Construction Industries Board, and all roofers must carry workers' compensation and liability insurance. Ask for proof of both before signing any contract.
OCT typically begins with a roof inspection to document damage and photograph hail impacts, granule loss, or wind-related issues. They then prepare an estimate itemizing materials, labor, and debris removal. The estimate is designed to align with insurance assessments, meaning it accounts for deductibles and coverage limits. If your insurer's adjuster and the contractor disagree on damage scope or replacement cost, the company can facilitate a re-inspection. This process takes longer than a standard reroof quote because it requires detailed documentation, but it reduces surprises during claim processing. Ask whether the initial inspection is free; many catastrophe specialists offer no-charge assessments after publicized storms.
Hail-damage roofs in the Oklahoma City area typically run $8,000 to $18,000 for a full replacement depending on square footage, slope, and material chosen. OCT's pricing falls within this range. The key difference between OCT and general roofers like Mustang Roofing or local independents is that OCT's estimates are built to match insurance claim language and coverage, while traditional roofers price on materials and labor alone. If your roof is uninsured or you plan to pay out of pocket, a general contractor may be faster and equally competent; if you are relying on a claim, OCT's specialization in claim coordination can reduce back-and-forth with adjusters. Pricing may shift based on material costs and seasonal demand; verify current rates directly.
OCT is the right choice if you have filed a claim or suspect you have hail or wind damage and want a contractor experienced in claim documentation and negotiation. It is less suitable if you need a roofer for routine maintenance, a planned reroof years away, or cosmetic repairs unrelated to weather. If your roof shows no damage but you want preventive impact-resistant shingles to lower insurance costs, OCT can assess whether the upgrade aligns with your insurer's discounts, but a general roofer can execute the same work at potentially lower cost.
The initial inspection involves a walk-around of your roof exterior, sometimes with climbing to document specific damage, followed by a written estimate. Bring your insurance claim information if you have already filed, or your homeowner's policy details so the contractor can reference your coverage. The assessment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. After the estimate, you may choose to submit it to your insurer for adjuster review. The company can coordinate a second inspection if adjusters disagree with the initial assessment. Do not agree to out-of-pocket work until you understand your deductible and whether the insurance settlement covers the full cost.
Confirm current hours and availability directly with Oklahoma Catastrophe Team; after major storms, response times lengthen as demand spikes. The company serves the Oklahoma City metro, including surrounding counties where hail storms are common. Schedule inspections by phone or online request. Parking is not a factor for roof work; the contractor will access your roof from ground equipment or interior access points you provide.
Oklahoma Catastrophe Team fills a specific role in OKC's roofing market: if a storm has damaged your roof and you are working through insurance, their claim-focused process can smooth what is often a frustrating intersection of contractor work and policy paperwork.
