Oklahoma Roof Conditions Could Impact 2025 Home Insurance Rates, Experts Warn

OKLAHOMA CITY - Rezul -- With insurance premiums continuing to rise statewide due to storm frequency and claim volume, the Oklahoma City–based roofing and exterior contractor is urging homeowners to schedule professional roof inspections before renewal season.

"A lot of homeowners are shocked to learn their roof can influence their insurance rates as much as their zip code or credit score," said Greg Derr, owner of Triple Diamond Construction. "Your roof is the first line of defense against weather — and the first thing insurance companies look at when assessing risk."

A Hidden Factor Behind Rising Premiums

According to Triple Diamond Construction's team, insurance providers are increasingly tightening roof-related underwriting standards in Oklahoma. Older or damaged roofs can lead to higher premiums, limited coverage, or even non-renewal of existing policies.

Common red flags that can affect premiums include:

• Visible roof wear or missing shingles
  
  
• Evidence of prior storm damage left unrepaired
  
  
• Roofs over 10–15 years old without documented maintenance
  
  
• Use of low-impact materials in hail-prone areas
  
  

"Roof neglect isn't just a maintenance issue — it's a financial one," Derr explained. "Homeowners who keep up with inspections, repairs, and upgrades to impact-resistant materials often qualify for better rates and coverage."

Preventative Steps That Protect Both Home and Wallet

To help homeowners reduce risk and control costs, Triple Diamond Construction recommends five proactive measures:

1. Schedule annual roof inspections — especially before winter weather sets in.
   
   
2. Document all repairs and maintenance for insurance records.
   
   
3. Upgrade to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles when replacing your roof.
   
   
4. Address storm damage promptly to prevent secondary issues.
