Roofing in Jenks, where the May 2024 hail hit hardest
The Antique Capital's old Main Street, the big 2000s subdivisions south of 91st, and the acreage out toward Highway 75 — all of it under the storm that dropped 2½-inch hail on May 21, 2024.
Jenks sits across the Arkansas River from south Tulsa, and on the evening of May 21, 2024 it took the worst hail the metro had seen in years — golf-ball to tennis-ball stones, one measured at 2½ inches, across the subdivisions south of 91st and east toward the river and into south Broken Arrow. Hail that size doesn't bruise a shingle, it punctures it, and a lot of Jenks roofs were replaced that summer. A lot more weren't, because the damage didn't leak right away and the notice period on the policy quietly ran out. If your roof was on the house that night and it hasn't been walked since, that's the first thing to fix.
Jenks's housing splits three ways. Old town — Main Street and the antique district, the 1920s-to-'60s houses on the grid north of it — is complicated roofs, layers and old chimneys. The 1995-to-2015 subdivisions that made Jenks Public Schools a destination — south of 91st, between Elm and the river, around Elwood and out to the Creek Turnpike — are steep two-story roofs on their first or second shingle. And the newer sections toward Highway 75 and Glenpool are big lots, new construction and a growing share of metal.

Permits and the river
The City of Jenks issues residential permits and registers contractors; we handle both for your address. The one Jenks-specific roofing issue is the river: homes near the levee and in the lower sections north of Main have flood-plain rules that affect additions and, occasionally, elevation of mechanicals on the roof, but not the roof itself. Jenks HOAs are active on shingle color — we bring samples from the approved list.
Questions from Jenks homeowners
Is it too late to file for the May 2024 hail?
Maybe. Many Oklahoma policies now require notice within a year of the storm, some within 180 days; read your declarations page or call your agent. If the window's closed, the damage is still real and still getting worse, and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a repair or a replacement out of pocket.
How can I tell if the 2024 hail hit my roof?
Dented gutters and downspouts, dings in the AC fins, torn window screens, granules piled where the downspouts empty, and — on the roof — bruises and punctures in the shingles. We inspect free and give you the photos.
What's a new roof cost in Jenks?
$9,800 to $16,800 in architectural shingle, $11,500 to $20,000 in Class 4, for a typical 2,000–2,600 square-foot home in 2026. The big south Jenks two-stories with a lot of valleys tend to the upper half.
My roof was replaced after the 2024 hail by a company that's gone now. Who honors the warranty?
The manufacturer's warranty is still good if the roof was registered — we can look it up by address for the major brands. The workmanship warranty went with the company. We inspect free and tell you what you have.
Should the replacement be Class 4 this time?
In Jenks, yes. It's the difference between marks and a claim on the next tennis-ball storm, it earns the wind-and-hail discount every year, and some carriers are now requiring it to write a new policy at all in the 918.
Do you work in the older houses near Main Street?
Yes — layers, board decking, old chimneys and all. Those roofs need a roofer who looks in the attic before quoting, and that's how we quote.
