Residential Metal Roof Conversion in Durant, OK

This project took an aging three-bedroom home in Durant and converted it from asphalt shingle to a standing seam metal system. The owner had lived through enough Oklahoma hail seasons to know the next storm was a matter of when, not if. They wanted a roof that would shrug off impacts and stop demanding repairs every few years. Lankford Roofing has run metal roofing across Texoma since 1937, so we knew exactly what this house needed and how to get it on cleanly. We scoped the job, set the timeline at two days, and got to work.

The existing asphalt shingles were near the end of their service life, with granule loss and a few soft spots that hinted at deeper wear. Before any metal goes down, the deck has to be sound, so we pulled the old roofing to inspect what was underneath. Durant homes in this part of Oklahoma take a regular beating from spring storms, and the south-facing slopes showed the most sun damage. The roof pitch and the simple gable layout were a good fit for standing seam panels, which meant clean runs with minimal seams. Nothing structural was failing, but the surface was overdue for a full replacement rather than another patch.

We installed a 24-gauge Class 4 impact-resistant standing seam system, the top tier for metal roofing when hail is the main concern. Class 4 is the highest impact rating a roof can earn, and in Oklahoma it can also qualify homeowners for an insurance discount, so the roof can help pay for itself over time. We laid a high-temp underlayment, set the panels with concealed clip fasteners so nothing pierces the metal face, and finished the ridge and trim for a tight weather seal. The standing seam profile lets the panels expand and contract through Texoma's temperature swings without loosening. The full install ran two days, start to clean-up.

The home now carries a hail-rated metal roof built to last decades with almost no upkeep, and the owner has the paperwork to pursue an Oklahoma insurance discount. It is a noticeable upgrade in both protection and curb appeal for any Durant property.
