Nichols Hills homeowners: If your home still has an old wood shake roof, there is a high chance your insurance company is excluding your roof from coverage. Many homeowners are paying full premiums but have zero roof protection because wood shake systems cannot be certified to meet today’s insurance standards.
At TopView Roofing, we specialize in removing old wood shake roofs in Nichols Hills and replacing them with impact resistant Class 4 roofing systems. These upgraded roofs meet all Oklahoma building codes, qualify for full insurance coverage, and can reduce your premiums by 25 to 35 percent depending on your carrier.
Why Wood Shake Roofs Are Being Excluded
• Most older shake roofs cannot pass insurance certification
• They are considered a fire risk and a storm liability
• Shakes crack, split, and rot over time
• Insurance companies no longer approve them for storm coverage
