Out-of-state storm crews are knocking on doors, pitching "free" hail inspections
Posts in local neighborhood groups this week describe crews with out-of-state plates going door to door, telling homeowners their street "took hail damage", offering same-day "free roof inspections" and asking them to sign on the spot. Crews like these follow storm reports, so expect more of them while the posts keep coming. Storm work is among the largest jobs a roofer books, and a homeowner who signs with a door-knocker first may never call you at all.
→ 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. If your crews have room this week, hold inspection slots for the neighborhoods they name. Your trucks and crews, not your office hours, are what limit how much you can take on.

🔴 📌 Sooner Shield Roofing
Competitor's website (prices / specials page)
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.

🟡 🌐 Canadian River Roofing
Competitor's website
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
Google Business Profile listing (reviews)
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
🟢 🌐 Canadian River Roofing
Competitor's website
Quotes now say "permit and dumpster fees included — no add-ons"
🌐 On their site
Canadian River Roofing added a line to their pricing page and quote PDF this week: "City permit and dumpster fees included — no add-ons." Two of the other roofers we watch list permits and disposal as separate charges.
→ Action: Check your own quote template. Whether you fold permit and disposal costs in or list them with the amount, say so plainly on the quote, so a homeowner comparing bids sees like for like. A surprise line on the final invoice is what turns into a bad review.
