Location: S. Lewis Ave, South Peoria Area (South Tulsa, OK)
Project Type: Roof Replacement: Owens Corning Duration® Architectural Shingles & DeckDefense® Underlayment
Contractor: A-Best Roofing (Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor)
This project highlights a comprehensive residential roof replacement completed by A-Best Roofing along S. Lewis Ave in South Tulsa’s vibrant South Peoria neighborhood. Situated just blocks from the prestigious Southern Hills Country Club and down the road from the landmark Oral Roberts University campus, this home’s existing roof had reached the end of its functional lifespan due to aging materials and severe Oklahoma storm wear.
The property owner reached out to A-Best Roofing after noticing widespread shingle deterioration, lifting, and granule loss, issues that, if left unaddressed, risk costly deck rot and internal leaks. We performed a complete tear-off down to the bare wooden decking, inspected the decking for structural integrity, and installed a high-performance roofing system engineered to withstand severe weather in Green Country.
Before introducing any new materials, our team conducted a thorough multi-point roof inspection. The photo evidence from our initial site diagnostic revealed several critical vulnerabilities:
We removed all layers of old, compromised shingles and felt down to the bare OSB decking. Strip-down reveals hidden rotted plywood or soft spots, allowing our crews to re-nail loose boards and prep a smooth, structurally sound foundation.
As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, we utilize top-tier system components. We laid down Owens Corning DeckDefense® High-Performance Synthetic Underlayment. Unlike traditional felt paper which can tear or absorb moisture, DeckDefense® provides a durable, water-resistant secondary layer that seals tightly around nails and fasteners.
We installed Owens Corning Duration® Architectural Shingles featuring patented SureNail® Technology. This built-in fabric strip in the nailing zone provides exceptional wind resistance and staying power against high Oklahoma wind gusts. The multi-tone grey blend complements the home’s brick chimney and neighboring residential aesthetic, delivering clean lines and exceptional curb appeal.
To maximize roof longevity, we replaced all pipe boots and exhaust vent flashing with heavy-duty neoprene pipe collars and re-flashed the chimney. Additionally, a low-profile continuous ridge vent was installed along the primary roof peak to ensure balanced airflow through the attic, lowering summer cooling costs and preventing winter ice dams.
