Following a strong hailstorm in May 2024, this home in Yukon sustained damage to its roofing system, soft metals, and a signature copper awning over the front of the home. What began as a standard hail damage assessment quickly became a custom restoration project.
The homeowner selected Triple Diamond Construction to manage the new roof replacement not only for our reputation but for our ability to handle complex, multi-material jobs requiring attention to detail.
In addition to replacing the storm-damaged shingles, our team partnered with metalwork specialists to remove, fabricate, and reinstall the home’s distinctive copper awning. The final result was a seamless blend of durability, function, and architectural elegance.
Project Type: Roof Replacement
Roof Replacement Reason: hail damage
Hail Storm Date: May 19, 2024
Shingle Type: CertainTeed Landmark
Shingle Color: Weathered Wood
Project Location: Yukon, OK
Account Manager: David Coury
Project Overview
What made this project stand out was our ability to navigate the tight timeline often associated with insurance claims. Our team worked closely with the homeowner and their insurer to keep the project moving efficiently, avoiding delays in approval and payment. Project Manager David Coury also coordinated all trades involved—from roofing crews to custom copper fabricators, ensuring each phase of the job was handled with precision and completed on schedule.
Project Challenges and Solutions
Challenge #1: Preserving the Copper Awning’s Design and Fit
The original copper awning had aesthetic and historical value and could not be replaced with standard materials. Solution: We carefully removed the original copper, measured and matched the specifications, and commissioned custom fabrication to ensure a perfect fit upon reinstallation.
Challenge #2: Coordinating Specialized Trades
Unlike typical shingle jobs, this project required collaboration between roofing and custom metalworking professionals. Solution: Our project manager, David Coury, coordinated the scheduling and quality control across all trades to keep the job running smoothly from tear-off to final detail.
Challenge #3: Protecting the Home During Construction
With multiple components exposed during removal, keeping the interior dry and protected was a top priority. Solution: We staged the job for same-day tear-off and dry-in, and temporarily protected exposed areas to safeguard the home from weather during the process.
Materials Used
Shingles: CertainTeed Landmark shingles in Weathered Wood
Underlayment: Synthetic waterproof underlayment
Flashing & Vents: Upgraded aluminum flashing and high-wind vent caps
Custom Feature: Hand-fabricated copper awning
In humid and storm-prone areas like Oklahoma City, algae-resistant roofing materials are an important investment. Over time, moisture buildup and shade can lead to unsightly black streaks caused by algae growth, especially on north-facing slopes. CertainTeed’s Landmark shingles come with built-in StreakFighter® algae resistance, helping preserve the roof’s appearance and curb appeal for years to come.
For homeowners in Yukon, this added protection means less maintenance, fewer cleaning costs, and a longer-lasting, better-looking roof, especially during warm, wet seasons when algae is most likely to spread.
Before/After Transformation
The roof exhibited visible hail bruising, missing granules, and aging shingles. The copper awning had denting and discoloration from hail impact, reducing the overall curb appeal of the home.
