The Insurer Offered a Partial Roof Repair. How an Oklahoma Homeowner Challenged the Scope

TULSA, Okla. — A Tulsa homeowner has received $33,700 for a full roof replacement after challenging her insurer's offer to repair only the slope facing a spring windstorm.

The insurer's adjuster found damage on one side of the roof. Her roofer found it on all four.

A partial repair would have left damaged sections in place and created a mismatched roof.

Brisvane Legal obtained a second inspection by a licensed engineer, who documented lifted and creased shingles on every slope, and pointed to the policy's matching provision.

The insurer revised its estimate and paid $33,700.

The homeowner paid her deductible. Gutter damage was disputed and not included.

Whether a full replacement is owed depends on the damage and the policy's wording, so independent inspections are often worth the cost.
