OKLAHOMA CITY & TULSA · HOME INSURANCE
Oklahoma City & Tulsa home insurance.
Know your storm coverage.
For an Oklahoma City or Tulsa home, compare the wind/hail deductible, roof payment terms and water exclusions before choosing a policy. Use this worksheet when shopping or reviewing a renewal; the annual premium is only one part of the decision.

FIRST, DO THE MATH
What would you pay after a covered storm?
Ask whether wind and hail use the same deductible as other covered losses. The Oklahoma Insurance Department’s questions for agents call out separate wind/hail deductibles as something to review.
If a deductible is a percentage, ask what insured amount it applies to. Write that result beside the premium so a lower price does not hide a larger amount you would need to pay.
A hypothetical example
If a policy applies 2% to a $280,000 dwelling limit, the deductible is $5,600, not 2% of the repair bill. This illustrates the calculation only; it is not a quote or a prediction of a claim payment.
LOOK BEYOND THE DWELLING LIMIT
Does replacement cost apply to the roof?
A policy’s headline coverage amount does not explain every roof condition. Ask the agent to identify the applicable roof provision or endorsement and walk through these questions.
How is payment calculated?
Actual cash value subtracts depreciation. Replacement-cost coverage may involve an initial depreciated payment and a later payment after repair requirements are met. Ask what applies to your roof and what documentation or deadlines apply. OID explains roof settlements.
What limits the coverage?
Ask about roof-specific limits, exclusions and cosmetic-only damage. OID warns that some policies restrict hail coverage or use a higher hail deductible. Request the actual terms rather than relying on the word “covered.” Read OID’s wind/hail guidance.
Are the roof details right?
Confirm the recorded installation year, material and known updates. If you have replaced the roof, provide accurate details and ask whether the insurer needs supporting records. Keep the answers with your quote comparison.
NAME THE CAUSE OF THE WATER
Is it storm damage, flood or backup?
Ask separate questions about rain entering through storm damage, rising surface water and a sewer backup. Do not assume one answer covers all three. OID explains that homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage; other water losses depend on policy wording and any endorsements.
Use our Oklahoma flood insurance page to review a separate policy, start-date considerations and building versus contents coverage. An Oklahoma City or Tulsa mailing address alone does not settle your property’s flood insurance needs.
MAKE THE REVIEW USEFUL
Put each quote beside the same checklist.
Bring your current declarations page, roof details, known home updates and desired start date. For a renewal, compare the old and new documents. Record unresolved questions before selecting coverage.
- Deductibles: all-other-loss and wind/hail amounts, each in dollars.
- Roof: settlement method, endorsements and repair conditions.
- Water: flood and backup options discussed separately.
- Timing: proposed effective date and any outstanding requirements.
