Short answer: As of September 2026, the five highest-scoring roofing contractors in the Tulsa, OK metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are Arrowhead Roofing (94.8), VH1 Roofing LLC (93.3), Billings Roofing & Solar Inc. (92.7), RainTech Roofing, Sheet Metal & Gutters Inc (83.2), GoldenRite Roofing & Construction Company (81.8). Each holds a certification we verified on the manufacturer’s own register, every rating was corroborated elsewhere, and placement on this page is not for sale.
The Roofing Brief scored 10 certified roofing contractors serving the Tulsa metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top five individually to confirm its record. Tulsa takes 424 damaging-hail reports a decade. Oklahoma requires every roofing contractor to register with the Construction Industries Board, and from 1 July 2026 residential roofing additionally requires a Residential Roofing Endorsement obtained by passing a CIB exam. That endorsement is new, and asking whether a contractor holds it rather than just a registration is the sharpest available question in a hail metro.
Hail, codes and what they cost a Tulsa homeowner
Tulsa is serious hail country. NOAA holds 616 hail reports for the metro over the decade, 424 of them an inch or larger and 34 at two inches or more, topped by 3.5-inch stones in Osage County on 15 May 2024. May is the peak month, and 2025 was the busiest year in the record. A UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingle is a standard question here rather than an upsell, and Oklahoma insurers commonly discount premiums for one.
Wind has done as much damage as hail. On 17 June 2023 a line of severe storms drove winds of 90 to more than 100 mph across the city, leaving well over $160 million in damage in Tulsa County and hundreds of thousands without power. The metro also logged 108 tornadoes in the decade, among them the EF4 that destroyed much of Barnsdall on 6 May 2024 with winds near 180 mph, killing two people, and an EF3 at Collinsville later that month. Fastening pattern and edge detail matter as much as the shingle.
The City of Tulsa requires a permit for residential roof replacement, and Oklahoma requires every roofing contractor to register with the Construction Industries Board. Since 1 July 2026 residential roofing has additionally required a Residential Roofing Endorsement on that registration, obtained by passing a CIB exam. The endorsement is new enough that out-of-state crews arriving after a storm may not hold it, which makes it the sharpest single question to ask.
Storm chasing follows every major event here. After the 2023 windstorm and the 2024 tornadoes, door-knocking crews offered to handle insurance claims across the metro. Ask for the CIB registration and endorsement numbers, confirm the city permit will be pulled in the contractor’s name, and never accept an offer to waive or rebate your deductible. A contractor based in Tulsa or Owasso, as all five below are, will still be around when a warranty claim comes due.

What 3.5 inch hail does to a Tulsa roof
Aggregate hail counts tell you very little about a specific roof. These are the individual events: every severe-weather report logged by the National Weather Service across the 7 counties of the Tulsa, OK statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 616 hail reports, 714 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 108 tornadoes. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $289.4 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
The biggest hail to fall on Tulsa in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 May 2024 | 3.5 in | Burbank | Osage |
| 19 November 2025 | 3.0 in | Shamrock | Creek |
| 21 May 2024 | 3.0 in | Broken Arrow | Tulsa |
| 23 September 2023 | 3.0 in | Blackstone Mine | Okmulgee |
| 4 April 2017 | 2.75 in | Tiawah | Rogers |
| 22 May 2019 | 2.75 in | Okmulgee | Okmulgee |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 15 May 2024 near Burbank, measured at 3.5 inches. That is baseball sized, comfortably past the point where a roof is written off rather than repaired.
Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 87 knots, about 100 mph, near Catoosa on 17 June 2023. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.
Tornadoes. 108 tornadoes touched down in these counties over the decade, the strongest rated EF4 near Osage on 6 May 2024.
What the National Weather Service wrote about it
The NWS logs a written account of each severe-weather episode. This is its description of the 17 June 2023 event near Catoosa, reproduced verbatim:
Thunderstorm wind, likely gusting to at least 100 mph at times, resulted in at least $657,000 in debris removal and damage to the utility infrastructure across the county during this severe thunderstorm. Some people were without power for over a week.
That is what the specification has to anticipate here, written up by the agency that recorded it rather than by a contractor selling the repair.
When it happens. Severe weather reports cluster in May (474), April (233), June (211). The worst years on record were 2025 (215), 2017 (200), 2024 (195). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in Tulsa, the months outside that window are when crews are least stretched and least likely to be triaging emergency callouts ahead of your job.
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database, county-level detail files 2016 to 2025, filtered to the counties of this statistical area by The Roofing Brief. Damage figures are as reported to the NWS and undercount insured losses.
What to do with this. At 424 damaging-hail reports in ten years, impact resistance in Tulsa is a specification question, not an upsell. Ask every contractor you shortlist to quote a UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingle alongside the standard option, and ask your insurer whether a Class 4 roof earns a premium discount, because many carriers offer one in high-hail territory.
How to tell a Tulsa roofer’s claims from their record
Licensing is required in OK. Oklahoma requires every roofing contractor to register annually with the Construction Industries Board under the Roofing Contractor Registration Act, 59 O.S. 1151.1 and following, at $75 a year. The Act bars a roofer from advertising or promising to pay any part of your insurance deductible, and every roofer must give written notice of that rule with its initial estimate.
Registration requires liability insurance of at least $500,000 for residential work or $1,000,000 for commercial work, with the Board named as certificate holder; there is no surety bond. You may cancel an insurance-funded roofing contract within 72 hours of written notice that your claim was denied in whole or in part, with payments refunded within 10 days. From 1 January 2027 every residential roofer must also hold a residential roofing endorsement earned by passing an exam at 70 percent; firms already registered have until 1 January 2028 to pass it or complete 10 extra hours of continuing education.
Check here: Oklahoma Construction Industries Board roofing registration. Until 2027 the registration tests nothing, so check the insurance certificate directly with the insurer, and from 2027 ask to see the residential roofing endorsement as well as the registration.
Four checks to run before you sign anything, in any state.
- Verify certification at the source. Use the GAF verification tool rather than trusting a badge image on a company website.
- Get the certificate of insurance from the insurer, not the contractor, and confirm general liability and workers compensation are both active on the day work starts.
- Confirm who pulls the permit. If a contractor asks you to pull it as the homeowner, that moves liability onto you. Decline.
- Get warranty terms in writing before any deposit, and check the manufacturer warranty being promised actually requires the certification tier the contractor holds.
The shape of the Tulsa contractor market

The pool carries 3,366 customer reviews between them at a mean rating of 4.89.

How these Tulsa rankings were produced
Every contractor in the Tulsa, OK pool was scored out of 100 on four published components: certification tier, a Bayesian adjusted rating, review depth and distance from the metro centre. In this metro that meant scoring 10 certified contractors, of whom 3 hold President’s Club standing and 4 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.89. The top five were then researched individually against Better Business Bureau records, state licence registers and manufacturer directories. The findings are printed above whether they flatter the contractor or not, and nobody paid to appear.
The full method, the weightings, what the GAF certification tiers actually mean, who is eligible to be ranked and what we do not claim are all set out on our roofer ranking methodology page.
