Learn how we tackled a steep roof, significant granule loss, and multi-trade coordination to complete storm damage repairs in Norman, OK for this homeowner.
When a spring hailstorm swept through Norman, OK, it left behind more than just dents and debris. One homeowner noticed dark streaks on their roof and overflowing gutters during the next rainfall. A free inspection from Triple Diamond Construction revealed excessive granule loss, hail-dented gutters, and wind-blown debris that had compromised the integrity of the roof system.
Project Type: Roof and Gutter Replacement
Roof Replacement Reason: Storm damage
Hail Storm Date: April 19, 2023
Shingle Type: CertainTeed Landmark
Shingle Color: Weathered Wood
Project Location: Norman, OK
Project Overview
Our team developed a comprehensive plan to address all the damage. This was a multi-trade project that included a full roof replacement and new seamless gutter installation. With a steep slope and aging shingles, the home was overdue for an upgrade, and we delivered a solution that improved both form and function.
Project Challenges and Solutions
Challenge #1: Extremely Steep Roof Pitch
Working on a steep-slope roof increases the complexity and safety concerns of installation. We began by carefully removing the old roofing materials and inspecting the decking for any hidden damage. Once prepped, we installed high-performance underlayment, flashing, and ridge ventilation before laying down the new CertainTeed Landmark shingles.
Solution: Our crew used advanced safety equipment and followed strict fall protection protocols to ensure a smooth and efficient installation, even on difficult angles. Our streamlined approach minimizes disruption for the homeowner while delivering long-lasting results, proof that with the right team, even a full roof replacement can be fast, smooth, and stress-free.
Challenge #2: Severe Granule Loss from Hail Impact
Granule loss can expose the fiberglass mat beneath the shingle, shortening the roof’s lifespan.
Solution: We replaced the entire roofing system with CertainTeed Landmark shingles, which offer dual-layer durability and a limited lifetime warranty for enhanced peace of mind.
Challenge #3: Gutter System Damage
Hailstones had dented and dislodged sections of the gutter system, impacting drainage and curb appeal.
Solution: We installed a custom-fit seamless gutter system that restored proper water flow and blended with the home’s exterior color scheme.
Materials Used
- Roofing: CertainTeed Landmark shingles in Weathered Wood
- Underlayment: Synthetic high-performance waterproof underlayment
- Gutters: Seamless aluminum gutters, color-matched to the home
- Fasteners & Flashing: Corrosion-resistant hardware for maximum durability
