Oklahoma homeowners know that spring and summer bring more than just warmer weather. With storm season comes the increased risk of hail, wind, and heavy rain — all of which can wreak havoc on your roof. Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t realize the extent of roof damage until it’s too late. That’s why regular roof inspections aren’t just a good idea in Oklahoma — they’re critical.
At Triple Diamond Construction, we specialize in helping local homeowners prepare for, recover from, and protect against storm damage. Below, we explain why routine inspections are one of the smartest moves you can make to keep your home safe and secure.

Oklahoma Storms Are Fast, Frequent, and Often Severe
Oklahoma sits in the heart of Tornado Alley, and that comes with a unique set of weather-related challenges. It’s not uncommon for homeowners in the Oklahoma City area to experience multiple hailstorms and damaging winds each year. Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, it may be hiding damage that weakens its ability to protect your home during the next storm.
Regular inspections give you a chance to catch these issues early, before they turn into costly repairs or insurance nightmares. Waiting until you see a leak or missing shingles is often too late. A proactive inspection can reveal damage that’s not visible to the untrained eye.

What Roof Inspectors Look For After a Storm
Professional roof inspections go beyond just checking for loose shingles. When you schedule an inspection with Triple Diamond Construction, our team performs a comprehensive assessment that includes:
- Shingles: Looking for cracks, curling, bruising from hail, and missing sections
- Flashing: Checking around chimneys, vents, and skylights for separation or rust
- Gutters and Downspouts: Inspecting for clogs, dents, and granule loss
- Soffits and Fascia: Checking for water stains, wood rot, and separation
- Attic and Interior: Identifying signs of moisture intrusion, such as stains or damp insulation
We also document everything with detailed photos, so you have a complete record to keep for your insurance or future repairs.
The High Cost of Skipping Roof Inspections
Delaying a roof inspection after a major storm can result in problems that compound over time. A small leak left untreated can lead to:
- Mold and mildew inside your attic and walls
- Water-damaged insulation and rising energy bills
- Sagging ceilings or weakened drywall
- Wood rot or structural damage in your roof deck or rafters
By the time you notice these problems, you’re often looking at thousands of dollars in repairs — and a more complicated insurance claim. Regular inspections help you catch and document damage while it’s still manageable.
Inspections Help with Insurance Claims
One of the most overlooked benefits of a regular roof inspection is the role it plays in the insurance process. When a storm hits, timing is everything. The sooner you can document damage and submit a claim, the smoother the process tends to be.
Our team is trained to spot the types of storm damage that insurance companies recognize. We’ll provide a full inspection report, complete with photos and repair recommendations. If needed, we’ll even meet with your insurance adjuster to make sure no damage is missed during their visit.
Getting regular roof inspections can also be helpful if you’re trying to prove that damage is storm-related — especially if your roof is older or has been repaired before.
How Often Should You Schedule a Roof Inspection?
In Oklahoma, we recommend scheduling a professional roof inspection:
- At least once a year
- After any major hailstorm or wind event
- Before selling or buying a home
- After a new roof is installed (to ensure workmanship is holding up)
Many homeowners choose to have their roofs checked in the spring, just as storm season kicks off. This allows you to make any needed repairs before the worst weather arrives.
