After the Visit
There is a paperwork habit that separates settled homeowners from surprised ones in North Tulsa: the scope, the photographs and the completion notes go into the roof file the week the work is done, not reconstructed before a sale or a claim. Early-1900s homes near Greenwood share the same storms and sun as the rest of the city. Future you - and the next roofer up the ladder - will read that file like a map.
Keeping it that way in North Tulsa comes down to one habit: the prevention rhythm on the main downspouts page, kept on a calendar instead of remembered after storms. After ice, check elbows and straps - ice weight parts joints quietly.
