How Long Does Roof Installation Usually Take?
Typically, there are several days between the signing of the contract and the start date. Since we source our materials straight from the manufacturers themselves, we will need lead time to have all the materials delivered to your door. Depending on the size, complexity and type of roofing system, it may take a couple of days to a full week between when we place the order and when we can schedule the installation start date. Our factory-trained and certified installers always start early in the day, and thanks to their rigorous training, you don’t have to worry about installation mistakes that could prolong the process.

5 Common Problems Solved by Our Services
Patriot Roofing offers a comprehensive selection of exterior services, including roof replacement and gutter installation. In this blog, we list the common problems that are solved by our products and services.
- Installation Errors — One of the most common causes of roofing problems is a flawed installation by inexperienced roofers. Modern roofing systems are complex systems with many different components that must work together. Choosing the wrong type of substrate or using incorrect nail patterns can lead to numerous problems down the road. In addition to having applicable workmanship warranties, our installation team receives periodic training from the brands we represent, including GAF, CertainTeed, and Malarkey. This is your assurance that every installation we perform is done properly.
- Hail Damage — It takes an expert to quickly recognize the difference between functional and cosmetic hail damage, which is an important distinction when it comes to insurance claims. You can count on our team to know the difference and to provide the appropriate solution.
- Storm Damage — In addition to making sure you have a working shelter for your family, dealing with storm damage requires accurate documentation of the roofing damage. Such documentation is important to ensure your insurance claim is processed correctly and without delay. In addition to providing emergency storm damage repairs, we can also assist you with gathering the necessary documentation.
- Inefficient Gutters — Inexperienced gutter installers tend to pick the wrong gutter size, which can either result in overflowing gutters or rainwater backing up into the gutters. As gutter specialists, we know how to choose the right gutter size for your home without compromising performance or efficiency.
- Frequent Siding Repainting — If you’re tired of frequently scraping and repainting your siding, consider low-maintenance fiber cement and vinyl siding replacement options from James Hardie and Mastic, respectively. These siding products are warranted not to blister, crack or peel, eliminating the need to scrape and repaint within the siding warranty period.

And, as an Oklahoma City Roof Repair contractor that is Master Elite Certified with GAF you know you are getting the best quality installation for your money.

Leak Barrier
It all starts with a high-quality leak barrier applied between your roofing shingles and the roof deck to provide exceptional protection against leaks (and costly repairs) caused by wind-driven rain, roof settling, ice dams, and extreme weather. Excellent upgrades are available at all vulnerable areas says an expert for Roof Replacement in Oklahoma City (including at the eaves in the North*).
Roof Deck Protection
Provides an additional layer of protection between the roofing shingles and the roof deck to increase defense Helps guard the roof deck against moisture infiltration with an exceptionally durable layer of protection against wind-driven rain, while still allowing moisture in the attic to escape. Also, it lies flatter for a smooth looking roof.
Starter Strip Shingles
Designed to defend against shingles blowing off while saving time, and may help qualify for upgraded wind warranty coverage (see GAF Shingle & Accessory Ltd. Warranty for details). “Starter strip shingles combine a high-quality, well-positioned adhesive that will tightly secure your shingles in place to help prevent shingle blow-off”, says a Roofing Contractor in Oklahoma City.
Lifetime Shingles

Exhaust ventilation enables hot, humid air to escape at and near the roof ridges.
Ridge Cap Shingles
