Roofing In Cold Weather

Let’s talk about temperatures in Oklahoma and how they affect roofing for us.  I have to start off by saying this is how we operate at Up Armor.  Different isn’t necessarily wrong.  This is just how we operate.  Today is October 25th, 2021.  It’s 51 degrees out this morning with a high of 66 degrees…

Are Insurance Companies Here to Help? I Report. You Decide.

  I have to start off by saying that when I started posting on my website, the intention was never to shame anyone or to be negative towards other roofers or insurance providers (Although I have plenty of verbal ammunition that I could fire at other roofers and insurance providers.)  In fact it was intended…
