The first question is always the total, so the totals come first. These 2026 figures assume a typical Broken Arrow house of 2,000 to 2,600 square feet with a moderate pitch, which works out to about 25 to 32 squares of roof. One square equals 100 square feet of roof surface.
| Material | Installed, typical home | Price per square |
|---|---|---|
| 30-year laminated architectural shingle | $9,800 – $16,800 | $380 – $560 |
| Class 4 impact-rated architectural shingle | $11,500 – $20,000 | $450 – $660 |
| FORTIFIED Roof build, added to either shingle | +$1,500 – $4,000 | OKReady grant: up to $10,000 |
| Designer or luxury shingle | $16,000 – $27,000 | $600 – $880 |
| Exposed-fastener metal (R-panel, PBR) | $14,000 – $25,000 | $520 – $820 |
| Standing seam, concealed fastener, Kynar finish | $25,000 – $44,000 | $900 – $1,400 |
| Stone-coated steel panels | $27,000 – $42,000 | $950 – $1,350 |
Included in every figure: removal of one layer, disposal, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water membrane at valleys and penetrations, new drip edge, new pipe boots and flashing, a continuous ridge vent, starter and ridge-cap shingle, and cleanup. Not included: replacement decking (priced by the sheet), removal of a second layer, and gutters. Oklahoma pricing sits slightly below Texas and far below the coastal states, mainly on labor.
The six variables behind a quote
Roof area in squares
You pay for roof surface, not floor area. A 1,500-square-foot ranch off Kenosha may have 20 squares; a 3,200-square-foot two-story in Forest Ridge with an 8:12 pitch and four gables may have 42. We take the measurement from a satellite report and verify it from the ladder.
Pitch and roof geometry
A steep roof needs more labor and safety equipment and wastes more material at hips and valleys. Each valley, dormer, skylight and chimney adds flashing work. Per square, a plain 5:12 hip roof costs least and a 10:12 roof cut up by three dormers costs most. Broken Arrow subdivisions from the 1990s and 2000s were built steep and complex; the 1970s ranches were not.
Decking condition
Shaded roofs nearly always have soft sheathing at the eaves and in the valleys. Houses from the 1970s have 3/8-inch plywood with fifty years of delamination behind it, and pre-1960 houses near the Rose District sit on spaced boards that need to be sheeted over. Decking is quoted per sheet before work starts, at $85 to $130 installed, and only rotten sheets are replaced; the photos show each one.
Existing layers
Code permits two layers of shingle. Many Broken Arrow roofs built between the '70s and the '90s already carry a second layer, and a few old-town houses carry a fourth. Stripping a second layer down to the deck adds $1,000 to $2,400 in labor and disposal. We do not install over a second layer.
Material grade
Moving from a 30-year architectural shingle to Class 4 impact-resistant adds $2,000 to $4,000 on a typical roof. It is the one upgrade we recommend to nearly every Tulsa County owner: it earns a yearly wind-and-hail insurance discount and survives hail that would total a standard shingle. FORTIFIED is a small additional step, and the state covers most of it. Metal is a larger step, justified by a 40- to 60-year service life and lower cooling costs.
Ventilation and add-ons
Ridge vent is standard. Soffit intake with baffles, a solar fan, or ice-and-water along every eave while the deck is exposed adds $400 to $2,500, and pays off on any house with a hot upper floor or a shaded north side. Gutters cost $8 to $16 per foot.
How a claim changes the math
On a hail or wind claim, the carrier pays the approved scope. You pay the deductible, which in Oklahoma is more and more often a percentage (one or two percent of dwelling coverage, so $4,000 to $8,000 on a $400,000 policy), plus any upgrade you choose, such as Class 4 or metal. Under a replacement-cost policy, held-back depreciation is paid out once the job is complete; under actual cash value or a roof schedule it is not, and many Oklahoma roofs were moved to ACV at renewal in 2024 and 2025. Read the Oklahoma hail claim guide before filing. Never let a roofer 'take care of' the deductible: state law prohibits it, and it can get the estimate rejected.
How the OKReady grant changes the math
Beginning January 2026, the Oklahoma Insurance Department has offered grants of up to $10,000 toward a FORTIFIED Roof for owner-occupied homes with a homestead exemption, first come, first served. When the roof is a claim, the claim covers the roof and the grant can pay for the FORTIFIED upgrade with money remaining. When you are paying yourself, the grant can cover a third to half of the entire job. How it works.
Items missing from a low quote
A quote $4,000 below the others is usually missing one of these: ice-and-water in the valleys (felt substituted), new flashing (old pieces reused and painted), ridge vent (old box vents left in place), a decking allowance (rot 'discovered' mid-job at $200 a sheet), disposal (a dumpster in your driveway runs $450 to $800), registration (ask for the CIB number and verify it) or insurance (ask for the certificate). Our estimate shows each of these as a separate line, so two quotes can be compared item for item.
Related questions
What does a roof cost on a 2,000 square-foot house in Broken Arrow?
Roughly 22 to 28 squares, depending on pitch and overhang, which puts 2026 pricing near $8,500 to $15,000 in architectural shingle and $10,000 to $18,000 in Class 4. A free inspection narrows that to one figure, valid 30 days.
Is the extra $2,000–$4,000 for Class 4 worth it?
For an owner staying five years or longer, nearly always. Most Oklahoma policies discount the wind-and-hail premium by $150 to $500 a year, and the shingle withstands hail that would send a standard roof back into a claim, with a second deductible.
Is the permit in the price?
Yes, whatever your address requires. Whether a straight re-roof in Broken Arrow needs a permit depends on scope. We check with the city for your address, and the cost is included in either case.
Is financing available?
Yes: 12-month same-as-cash promotions and fixed-rate terms up to 10 years through our lending partners, with approval before work begins. See insurance & financing.
How long is a quoted price valid?
30 days. Shingle prices have changed several times a year recently, so after 30 days we recheck material cost and reissue the quote.
Why are storm-chaser quotes so low?
Often they quote the insurance scope rather than a complete roof, then recover the gap by leaving out underlayment, flashing and ridge vent, or by 'handling' the deductible and removing that amount from the job, which is illegal in Oklahoma. Compare line items, ask for the CIB registration number, and read how to spot a storm chaser.
