Why Hiring a Tulsa Roofing Expert is Better Than Doing It Yourself


We live in a society where DIY is par for the course. After all, doing so tends to promote an independent spirit, among other benefits. Despite this independent spirit, however, there are simply things that we should leave to the professionals. An August 3, 2014 article by Erika Rawes for the Wall St. Cheat Sheet (reposted on USA Today) explains. On the other hand, there's also those tasks and projects that may seem like a good idea to take on yourself, but when you add in all of the costs for materials and supplies, your time, and also, the potential for you to hurt yourself or damage other items in the process, it's better to just pay someone else to complete the task.

Tulsa Roofing is Strong Enough to Weather any Storm in Tornado Alley


The Midwestern region of the United States known as “Tornado Alley” includes North Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, East Colorado, and Iowa.

Tough as it is to live in such weather conditions, the residents keep their heads held high as they go on with their lives with the help of Tulsa roofing contractors and safety experts. This is part and parcel of storm-proofing homes, which architectural expert Jackie Craven explains in her article for About.com.

Expert Tulsa Roofing Workmanship Reduces Risk of Shingle Blow-Offs


The Oklahoma Panhandle is called ""No Man's Land"", despite being home to almost 30,000. The area’s flat terrain, however, makes it ideal for wind farming. With few natural obstructions, wind speeds can easily breach the 60-mph mark. That's just what happened early this June, according to KOCO's Jonathan Conder. Wind speeds of up to 85 mph, at par with a Category 1 hurricane, hit Cimarron, Texas, and Beaver Counties. The rest of Oklahoma recorded wind speeds between 20 and 40 mph.

Can't Get the Tulsa Roofing You Want Due to HOA By-Laws? Don't Worry


Colorado Springs Gazette columnist Bill Vogrin could never thank his neighbor Randy Murrish enough for his efforts in promoting safe roofing. Over the past several years, the fight to permit asphalt shingles into his neighborhood swung up and down like a wave. Their opponent was a homeowners association (HOA) that was more adamant about aesthetics than practicality. A series of wildfires in the state's history, namely the Buffalo Creek fire of 1996, compelled Vogrin to consider replacing his cedar shake roof with asphalt shingles. Murrish just happened to share his sentiments and helped him with his problem. Despite Murrish's efforts to convince the HOA, the association was resolute. Cedar shakes, take it or leave it.
