A roof's pitch is its rise in inches over twelve inches of run. Steeper roofs like 9/12 need roof jacks and harness work, so they cost more. We assume 5/12 for Oklahoma; pick yours above.

Budget $9,250 to $14,090 to strip and re-shingle a typical 1,940 sq. ft. single-story house in Tulsa, OK with standard asphalt. We get there from roughly 21.9 squares of roof (2,192 sq. ft.) pitched at 5/12; one layer comes off, and labor plus materials are in the number.

Roofers bid by the square, which is a hundred square feet of roof; here the installed rate works out to $514.06 a square. Two common step-ups: architectural 50-year shingles at $10,270 to $15,660, and steel shingles, the entry metal, from about $19,890.

Expect Tulsa bids to sit roughly $350 higher than the Oklahoma average of $8,960 to $13,660. Our prices apply across the 51 ZIP codes that carry the Tulsa name, in Tulsa and Creek counties.

Price per Year of Roof

The real cost of a roof is price divided by the years it lasts. Hover a bar: metal costs more up front and less per year.

Reading a Tulsa, OK Roofing Quote Line by Line

A cheap bid and an expensive bid often describe two different jobs. On this 21.9-square Tulsa, OK roof, these items carry real dollars:

• Strip and haul. Expect roughly $2,700 of the bid for one layer off. Each extra layer underneath raises it again, by about $1,750 for the second.
• Geometry. Four-sided hip roofs run about $1,120 above a gable; heavily cut-up roofs with dormers sit about $1,890 above it.
• Second story. Roofers charge about $800 more for this roof on a two-story home - longer ladders, more trips, more setup.
• Roof windows. Each skylight in the scope adds roughly $310 - cheaper now than as a separate job later.
• Sheathing repairs. Soft spots in the roof deck show up during tear-off. A per-sheet price in the contract keeps that from becoming an open-ended charge.
• Flashing, vents and gutters. Some roofers include new flashing and vents; others bill them separately. Price new gutters on their own with the gutter cost calculator.
• Permit, dumpster, cleanup. Each town sets its own fees. Get them written into the price, along with a magnetic nail sweep of the yard.

Ask each bidder to fill in the same list: tear-off layers, underlayment, ice barrier, flashing, vents, decking rate, permit. Gaps in that list explain most low bids.

Weather, Wear and Your Oklahoma Roof

Averages for Oklahoma: summer highs around 95°F, winter highs around 50°F, winter lows around 27°F. The map below files it under Region 4. Those numbers translate into a short list of roof stressors in Oklahoma:

Where Shingles Live Longest: the Climate Bell

Asphalt life peaks in the moderate middle (Region 3) and falls toward BOTH ends of the map above - cold regions destroy shingles with ice dams, hot ones bake them. Note the middle columns: shingles marketed as “lifetime” are good for about 25 real-world years at best - Oklahoma is Region 4. Hover any column.

Tulsa, OK Metal Roof Cost

A metal roof on a typical 1,940 sq. ft. single-story house in Tulsa, OK starts at $19,890. The type you pick matters more than the brand, so here is how the main options differ.

• Standing seam: $26,510 to $40,410. This is the classic metal roof: smooth vertical panels, fasteners tucked under the seam. It suits simple roof shapes and owners who plan to stay. Over architectural shingles, expect about $19,810 more.
• Steel shingles: $19,890 to $30,320. Aluminum shingles: $21,990 to $33,520. If the neighbors would frown at ribbed panels, this is the answer. From the curb they read as shingles or shake. Aluminum is lighter and never rusts; steel costs less and takes a hailstone better.
• Stone-coated steel: $27,070 to $41,270. Steel panels covered in crushed stone and shaped like clay tile or wood shake. The texture hides hail marks and softens rain noise.
• Copper: custom quote only. Copper has no price in our tools: each job is a custom quote, and it runs well past standing seam. In return it can outlive the house. Use it where people will see it, like a front porch or a turret.

Metal survives hail without leaking, but it can dent. Check whether the warranty and your insurance policy cover cosmetic damage. If you plan to stay a long time, metal can avoid a future re-roof entirely. Short-term owners rarely recover the extra cost. Use the metal roof calculator to price your exact panel type.

Best Season for a New Roof in Tulsa, OK

Summer highs near 95°F make midsummer hard on crews and on soft shingles, which scuff underfoot. Fall through spring is the better window, with winter highs near 50°F.

Storm chasers follow hail and wind. Hire a roofer with a local office and proof of insurance, and never sign over insurance proceeds on the spot.

Tulsa, OK Flat Roof Replacement Cost

Shingles need slope to shed water, so flat roofs get single-ply membranes. For a 1,940 sq. ft. flat roof in Tulsa, OK:

• EPDM rubber: $13,660 to $17,740. Synthetic rubber, usually black, laid in wide sheets with glued or taped seams. It shrugs off hail and hard frost and is easy to patch, so it suits garages, porches and roofs nobody sees.
• TPO, 60-mil: $11,750 to $15,260. The bright white membrane on many new commercial and home flat roofs. Hot-air welded seams turn the sheets into one skin. Pick it for a sunny roof over living space.
• PVC, 60-mil: $14,210 to $18,460. A flexible white sheet with welded seams that has kept flat roofs dry for decades. It handles ponding water and grease better than the other two.

From cheapest to most expensive here: TPO, then EPDM, then PVC. We count new insulation board and one stripped layer in every row. Expect a higher per-square-foot price on a small porch or garage roof. Ponding water is the main enemy of flat roofs through a Oklahoma winter. Ask for tapered insulation at low spots and clear drains. Run the flat roof calculator to match a specific membrane and drain layout.

Tulsa, OK Roofing Questions

How can I check the size a roofer quoted?

Start with the area under the roof, including garages and porches, then allow for slope and waste. A 1,940 sq. ft. footprint at 5/12 becomes roughly 21.9 squares (2,192 sq. ft.). Compare bids on the same count.

Does a re-roof in Oklahoma require a permit?

In most places, a complete replacement needs a permit and may need an inspection. Your roofer should apply for it; a request that you do it yourself is a warning sign.

Can I file an insurance claim for a new roof?

Covered: hail, wind, fallen trees. Not covered: age and wear. With asphalt at $9,250 to $14,090 in Tulsa, OK, it pays to read your roof settlement terms now, not after a storm. Storm deductibles in Oklahoma are often a percentage of coverage rather than a flat amount, so the out-of-pocket share can be large.

What is the usual timeline for a re-roof?

Expect a short job for 21.9 squares of shingles - often a day or two, sometimes more. The crew should tarp or dry-in anything they open before leaving.
