"Shingle Bells, Shingle Fails"
The Hilariously Honest Guide to
Asphalt Shingles
Let’s face it — most people spend more time choosing a phone case than a roofing shingle. But here’s the truth: one protects your iPhone, the other protects literally
everything you own. So, yes — your roof deserves more than a shrug and a “whatever’s cheapest.”

🧠 What Are Asphalt Shingles, Anyway?

✅ Affordable
✅ Durable
✅ Easy to install
✅ Low maintenance
✅ Look good on just about any home

🤦♂️ Real Story: The Shingles That Couldn’t
Let us introduce you to Dave.
Dave thought he’d “save a few bucks” by hiring his cousin Rick, who once installed a doghouse roof, to re-shingle his home. Fast forward two months — rainstorm hits, and so does disaster. Shingles peeled off like banana peels, water leaked into the attic, and Dave’s wife said the words no husband wants to hear: “You’re a numbskull.”
Moral of the story? Call the professionals.
🔍 But What About Warranties?
Ah yes, the magical scrolls of roofing: warranties.
Here’s what most people don’t know—a “30-year shingle” doesn’t mean your roof is good for 30 years if installed by Uncle Rick with a staple gun. Manufacturer warranties depend heavily on proper installation.
At Legendary Roofing, our team is licensed, insured, and certified by top shingle manufacturers — which means your warranty is legit, long-lasting, and doesn’t vanish the moment a gust of Oklahoma wind hits your roof.
🌪️ Oklahoma Weather + Weak Shingles = Disaster Math
If you live in Oklahoma, you already know: the wind is angry, the hail is aggressive, and the sun is basically a hairdryer set on "incinerate."
That’s why choosing quality asphalt shingle roofing in Oklahoma is more than just a cosmetic decision — it’s survival. A strong, well-installed roof can save you thousands of dollars in water damage, interior repairs, and therapy sessions after hearing drip… drip… drip at 2 AM.
