We repair hail, wind and water damage in Gaillardia from our West Memorial Road office in north Oklahoma City, and the phone is answered 24/7. Storms here are not hypothetical: on September 24, 2024, a trained spotter measured 2.33-inch hail near NW 122nd Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, on the same north side of the city.
A 1990s golf community that still sits in hail country
Gaillardia was laid out on a 600-acre parcel that the Gaylord family originally owned, and the Arthur Hills designed golf course at its center opened in the summer of 1998. That puts this neighborhood decades behind the historic districts closer to downtown, so the problems tied to century-old plaster and piping are not what we expect to find here.
Newer does not mean hail-proof. NWS Norman's storm data records 2.33-inch hail near NW 122nd Street and Pennsylvania Avenue on September 24, 2024. The National Weather Service treats 1-inch hail as severe and compares a 2-inch stone to a hen egg. Stones past that size can crack shingle mats, split vinyl siding and dent gutters, vents and garage doors in a single pass.
Age is starting to matter too. In houses built from the late 1990s on, first roofs, water heaters and washer hoses are often due for replacement. Where a home has a second-floor laundry room or a long ice maker line, a slow leak can run for weeks before a ceiling stain gives it away.
Damage we expect to see in Gaillardia
Hail-bruised shingles and soft metals
Large hail leaves marks a homeowner standing in the yard will miss: bruised mats, loose granules collecting in the gutters, dents on ridge vents and flashing. We walk every slope, photograph each hit and tell you whether a repair or a claim for replacement makes sense before anyone signs anything.
Split siding on the storm side
Hail driven by wind tends to hammer one or two sides of a house and leave the rest alone. Cracked vinyl and chipped fiber cement let water behind the wall, so we check the house wrap and sheathing where panels broke, not only the panels themselves.
Appliance and supply line leaks
A burst washer hose or a failed water heater can put a lot of water on finished floors in a short time. We stop the flow, extract, set drying equipment and log moisture readings until the subfloor and drywall reach a dry target.
What Gaillardia homeowners call us for
Gaillardia is close to our West Memorial Road office, so calls from here are handled from the same north side base that covers Edmond and the rest of north Oklahoma City. A person answers at any hour, asks what is wet or broken, and walks you through shutting off water or covering an opening while we get moving. Once the house is safe, we document everything for your claim.
Gaillardia hail and leak questions
Yes. Shingle age matters less than stone size and wind. A 2-inch stone can fracture a new shingle mat as easily as an old one, and the damage often does not leak until months later, after freeze and thaw cycles open up the bruises.
It is worth it after any storm with quarter-size hail or larger. Look at the gutters and downspouts first. Fresh dents and piles of granules mean the roof took hits too, and many policies limit how long you have to report storm damage, so check yours.
Close the cold water valve on top of the heater and switch off its power or gas. Then call us. If the heater sits in an attic or upstairs closet, water may already be in the ceiling below, and that drywall needs to be opened and dried, not painted over.
Yes. Many planned communities want roof color and siding profile approved before work starts. We give you the material specifications and photos your association asks for, so the approval step does not hold up a repair that needs to happen soon.
