We’ve worked Moore roofs since long before the 1999 F5 and the 2013 EF5 rewrote what this city expects from its contractors. That history matters. Moore sits in the most tornado-active corridor on earth, and the roofing here isn’t just about keeping water out - it’s about holding together when the wind tries to pull everything apart. From the original 1970s ranches north of NW 12th Street to the rebuilt subdivisions south of SW 4th Street, we’ve walked these decks, documented these framing conditions, and learned what fails and what holds.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to photograph every condition from your actual roof - not the driveway. We don’t chase storms into town and vanish. We’ve been here since 1984, and we plan to be here when the next generation needs us.
Why Ridgeline Roofing Co. Is Moore’s Preferred Specialty Roofing Company
Moore homeowners know the difference between a crew that understands local conditions and one that’s learning on their roof. After the May 20, 2013 tornado, Oklahoma tightened wind-damage building codes specifically for this region. We’ve adapted to every revision. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not right, we come back and make it right - no paperwork, no arguing, no runaround.
Our reputation in Moore is built on post-disaster rebuilds where adjuster documentation, supplement negotiation, and code familiarity separated a lasting repair from a callback. We hire local crews, train apprentices into journeymen, and answer our phones with a live person around the clock - including the middle of a storm.
Response time to Moore is typically same-day for emergency calls and within 48 hours for standard estimates. We know the 73160 ZIP well: the older tracts near Santa Fe Avenue, the rebuilt homes off Telephone Road, the commercial strips along I-35. That local knowledge saves time and prevents the framing surprises that catch out-of-town operators off guard.
Our Specialty Roofing Services in Moore
TPO Roofing in Moore
TPO - thermoplastic polyolefin - is the single-ply system we install most often on Moore’s commercial buildings and residential flat additions. It reflects Oklahoma’s brutal summer heat, which matters when your rooftop HVAC is working overtime through July and August. A typical TPO install in Moore runs $8,500-$14,000 for residential-scale jobs, with commercial applications scaling from there.
Last spring we replaced a TPO roof on a 2014-built home near SW 4th Street that had its above-ground safe room framing misaligned by a previous crew. We reinforced the deck at the load-path transitions and re-flashed the safe room’s curbs, restoring the impact rating the home’s owner - who had switched insurers - needed to keep his premium discount. That kind of safe-room integration work is not something a storm-chaser learns in a weekend.

Modified Bitumen in Moore
Modified bitumen brings the durability of asphalt together with polymer reinforcement for low-slope roofs that see ponding, thermal cycling, and the occasional hail strike. In Moore, we specify APP-modified systems with high wind-uplift ratings for residential applications and SBS-modified for commercial where foot traffic or equipment access is common. Typical range: $10,000-$17,500.
For 1970s ranch homes with original plywood decking, modified bitumen often requires deck reinforcement at seams and penetrations - especially if the home has had prior storm damage or if a safe room was retrofitted into the garage. We assess this during our photo-documented inspection and quote any deck work upfront. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.

Built-Up Roofing in Moore
Built-up roofing - the traditional “tar and gravel” system - still has a place in Moore for commercial buildings with heavy equipment loads or where foot traffic is routine. Multiple plies of bitumen-saturated felt create redundancy: if one layer is compromised, the next holds. We install these with modified cap sheets for enhanced reflectivity and puncture resistance. Expect $12,000-$22,000 depending on ply count and surfacing.
Moore’s 2013 safe-room mandate created non-standard load paths and deck framing interruptions that out-of-town storm-chaser crews routinely miss during post-event tear-offs, making local familiarity with these poured-concrete units a distinct specialty. On built-up systems, these interruptions are especially critical - the multiple plies must be properly terminated and sealed at every transition, or water finds its way in during the driving rains that follow our spring storms.

EPDM Roofing in Moore
EPDM - the black rubber membrane - offers exceptional longevity in Moore’s climate when properly installed with adhered seams and ballasted or mechanically attached fastening. We typically recommend EPDM for larger commercial surfaces where the dark color aids winter heating and where hail guards protect against our frequent spring ice. Residential and small commercial: $9,500-$16,000.

Solar Ready Roofing in Moore
With Oklahoma’s solar incentives and Moore’s rebuilt housing stock increasingly designed for panel installation, solar-ready roofing integrates mounting hardware, conduit paths, and structural reinforcement during the initial roof install rather than as a retrofit. This prevents the leak points that come from penetrating a finished roof. Solar-ready builds run $11,000-$19,500 depending on system size and structural requirements.

Green Roof Systems in Moore
Intensive and extensive green roofs are still uncommon in Moore but growing in commercial and institutional applications - particularly for stormwater management credits and thermal mass benefits. We install these with root-barrier membranes, drainage layers, and growing media engineered for Oklahoma’s freeze-thaw cycles. These are custom-quoted projects, typically starting around $18,000.

Common Specialty Roofing Problems We See in Moore Homes
- Safe-room load-path interruptions causing fastener pull-through during high winds. After the 2013 disaster, Moore was among the first Oklahoma cities to mandate in-ground or above-ground safe rooms in all new residential construction. Poured-concrete above-ground safe room units installed in garages or hallways create non-standard load paths that interrupt standard deck framing. We’ve seen crews nail TPO or modified bitumen directly through these transitions without reinforcement, and the fasteners pull clean out in 80 mph gusts.
- Asphalt 3-tab shingles on 1970s-1990s homes that blow off even in 70 mph gusts. The original ranch-style tract homes common north of NW 12th Street were built with basic 3-tab shingles over plywood decking, and most never had impact-rated underlayment installed. When these reach the end of their service life, we often find the decking itself compromised - not just the shingles - and we quote the full repair, not a band-aid.
- Post-storm tear-offs by non-local crews that miss concealed framing gaps around safe rooms. The sharp contrast between aging pre-rebuild roofs and post-2013 architectural shingle installs means a single Moore block can have roofs separated by 40 years of materials technology. Out-of-town crews working fast on insurance volume often flash past these gaps, leading to secondary leaks that show up months later - when the crew is long gone and the warranty is a disconnected phone number.
- Flat roof ponding from inadequate slope on older additions. Many Moore homes have flat-roofed garage additions, sunrooms, or carports from the 1980s and 1990s that were framed with minimal slope and no internal drains. TPO and modified bitumen can handle temporary ponding, but chronic standing water degrades seams and accelerates UV breakdown. We assess drainage during every inspection and quote tapered insulation or crickets where needed.

FAQs - Specialty Roofing in Moore
It can, yes - but only if your contractor doesn’t know what to look for. Moore’s 2013 safe-room mandate created non-standard load paths and deck framing interruptions that out-of-town storm-chaser crews routinely miss. We inspect every safe room curb, reinforce transitions where the deck is interrupted, and re-flash to maintain your roof’s impact rating and your insurance discount. Call (844) 563-1816 and we’ll walk you through what we found on your specific roof.
Some insurers in the 73160 ZIP do offer premium discounts specifically tied to Class 4 impact-resistant shingle or membrane installation - a market dynamic that doesn’t exist the same way even 10 miles north in OKC proper. The discount varies by carrier and policy, but we’ve helped many Moore homeowners document their IR installation for rate adjustments. We provide the manufacturer certification and installation documentation your adjuster needs. Call (844) 563-1816 to confirm whether your carrier participates.
Not always, but often yes for portions of the deck. The original plywood on 1970s Moore ranches was typically 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch CDX, and decades of thermal cycling plus any prior storm damage can leave it compromised. Modified bitumen requires a solid, smooth substrate - we won’t install over spongy or delaminated decking. Our photo-documented inspection will show you exactly what needs replacement and what can stay. Call (844) 563-1816 for a free assessment.
It’s possible, and we’ve seen it. If your home was rebuilt or modified after 2013 with an above-ground safe room, the framing interruption at that location creates a natural stress point for single-ply membranes. Previous crews sometimes fasten through these transitions without reinforcement, or fail to properly weld seam extensions. We inspect safe room curbs as a standard part of every TPO leak diagnosis in Moore. Call (844) 563-1816 - we can usually schedule same-day for active leaks.
Moore follows the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code with amendments adopted after the May 20, 2013 tornado, which tightened wind-uplift requirements for this region. Commercial flat roofs must meet or exceed the wind speeds specified for Oklahoma’s wind-borne debris region - typically requiring properly secured membrane systems with enhanced fastening patterns at perimeters and corners. We specify and install to these standards using manufacturer-approved attachment methods, and we document compliance for your permit and insurer. Call (844) 563-1816 to review your building’s specific requirements.
