Oklahoma’s storm-season reminder: know your roof coverage before the next storm
The Oklahoma Insurance Department’s spring preparedness message puts policy review and home documentation on the to-do list.

OID’s April guidance encourages homeowners to update their home inventory, prepare a safety plan, and review insurance policies before severe weather.
What this means for your roof: Ask your agent about your deductible, actual cash value versus replacement cost, and whether your coverage reflects rebuilding costs. Keep current photos and project records together.
Mitten’s takeaway: A roof condition check gives you a documented starting point. Save the inspection alongside maintenance and repair records so future changes are easier to explain.

Oklahoma announced roof-strengthening grants of up to $10,000
The statewide Strengthen Oklahoma Homes announcement is worth understanding before planning a roof upgrade.
Read the homeowner takeaway +
OID announced a statewide application opening for eligible homeowners seeking grants of up to $10,000 for upgrades to IBHS FORTIFIED Roof standards. The announcement says grants depend on available funding and eligibility, including a homestead exemption.
What this means for your project: Check the program’s current application status, requirements, approved participants, and funding before committing to work. An impact-rated shingle alone does not establish a FORTIFIED designation.
Mitten’s takeaway: Use the official program to verify your options. We do not represent this article as confirmation of grant eligibility or Mitten’s participation in the program.

After Oklahoma’s January storms: start with documentation
OID issued recovery guidance following the January 8 storms. Keep the original announcement handy when organizing damage records.
Read the homeowner takeaway +
The Oklahoma Insurance Department published storm-recovery guidance on January 9 following the previous day’s storms.
Mitten’s practical takeaway: Once conditions are safe, record visible damage from the ground, note when you first observed it, and save photos and receipts together. A professional inspection can document roof and exterior conditions without requiring you to climb onto the roof.
Mitten can provide construction photos and a repair scope. Your insurer determines coverage under your policy; an inspection does not guarantee an insurance payment.
