Looking to upgrade your roof in the Tulsa area? How new aid could help

The Oklahoma Insurance department is expanding its OKReady Strengthen Oklahoma Homes program to include eight more zip codes in the Tulsa area.

The department says eligible homeowners in the selected areas can apply online for grants of up to $10,000 to cover the cost of roofing improvements designed to meet FORTIFIED Home – Roof™ standards, with a hail-resistant supplement.

What are the new zip codes?

The OID added the following eight zip codes to the second pilot launch of the OKReady program.

1. 74014 – East Broken Arrow
2. 74063 – Sand Springs/East Keystone Lake
3. 74107 – West Tulsa/Berryhill
4. 74114 – Midtown Tulsa/E Gathering Place
5. 74120 – Downtown Tulsa
6. 74132 – SW Tulsa/Oaks CC/Riverside Airport
7. 74437 – Henryetta/Rural Okmulgee County
8. 74447 – Okmulgee

The other zip codes covered by the second pilot launch are

1. 73078 – Piedmont
2. 73012 – West Edmond
3. 73034 – Edmond
4. 73013 – NW OKC

6. 74055 – Owasso
7. 74010 – Bristow
8. 74066 – Sapulpa

Why were these areas selected?

“These eight zip codes represent communities that have been significantly impacted by convective storms, and we are excited to add them to our second pilot,” said Ashley Scott, Deputy Commissioner of External Affairs and OKReady director.

OID says it looked at several factors, including contractor availability, claim frequency and hail loss.
