3 competitor signals detected for Red Dirt Roofing & Exteriors today. Two high-priority items warrant action this week.
🔴 HIGH PRIORITY
Out-of-state storm crews arriving after last week's hail — city issues a warning
Local TV news reported yesterday that crews with out-of-state plates are going door to door in neighborhoods hit by last week's hail, and the city posted a notice reminding residents to check a roofer's state registration and local address before signing anything. Fall hail plus the last weeks of good roofing weather mean the next month is when most claims will be signed.
→ Action: Make it easy for homeowners to check you out. Put your Oklahoma roofing registration number and your local office address on your yard signs, truck doors and estimate forms. Publish a short "how to check a roofer before you sign" page and link to it in your inspection follow-ups. For the next six weeks, plan crews and inspection slots around the hail-hit zip codes. Your trucks and crews are what limit how much you can take on, not your office hours.

New ads: "$0 deductible help" plus 0% financing for 18 months
Sooner Shield Roofing launched a homepage banner and yard-sign campaign this week promising "$0 deductible help on storm claims" and 0% financing for 18 months. The page doesn't explain how the deductible "help" works. Most homeowner policies require the homeowner to pay the deductible, and several states restrict contractors from waiving or rebating it.
→ Action: Don't copy the deductible offer — check Oklahoma's rules with your insurance contacts or attorney before saying anything about deductibles yourself. Expect homeowners to ask about it. Write a short, plain "how a storm claim works with us" page that explains who pays the deductible and why. If customers have been asking about payment plans, a lender partner can offer financing without you carrying the risk.

🟡 MEDIUM PRIORITY
Added a GAF certified-contractor badge and an extended-warranty page
🌐 On their site
Canadian River Roofing added a GAF certified-contractor badge to their homepage yesterday, plus a new page explaining the manufacturer's extended system warranty available through certified installers. The badge also appears on their quote PDF.
→ Action: If you already hold a manufacturer certification (GAF, Owens Corning or another), put the badge and the actual warranty terms on your quote itself — that is where a homeowner compares two bids. If you don't, find out what the program requires before deciding. Meanwhile, explain the standard manufacturer warranty you already register on every job, if you do.

Prairie Peak Roofing
MAPS ↗
Reviews this week flag nails left in the yard and unfinished cleanup
Prairie Peak Roofing has four new 1- and 2-star Google reviews this week. Three mention nails left in the driveway or yard after a tear-off, and one says the crew "never came back to finish the gutters." The reviews don't say why.
→ Action: Homeowners here are saying cleanup matters to them. Make a written end-of-job checklist (magnet sweep of the yard and driveway, gutters cleared, debris hauled) and text the homeowner a photo of the finished yard with the final invoice. It costs the crew ten minutes and gives the homeowner something to mention in a review.

🟢 LOW PRIORITY / FYI
City residential re-roof permit fee rising from $75 → $110 next month
The City of Oklahoma City's updated fee schedule, posted yesterday, raises the residential re-roof permit fee from $75 to $110 starting the first of next month. It applies to every contractor pulling permits in city limits.
→ Action: Update your quote template now. For jobs signed this month but permitted after the 1st, decide who covers the difference and put it in writing on the contract, so it doesn't become an argument on a job you've already won.
