New Roofs Across Nichols Hills
Nichols Hills is a small city in Oklahoma County, about 8 miles south-southwest of downtown Edmond. Real estate developer Gilbert A. Nichols planned it in 1928, and residents incorporated it in 1929. The whole city covers about 2.4 square miles, and Oklahoma City wraps around it on every side but the north.
That tight footprint shapes a roof job. Streets bend with the land instead of running on a grid, so a crew has to plan where a dump trailer can sit. Walk the lot with your roofer first and put the staging plan in writing.
Homes and Roofs in Nichols Hills
The Oklahoma Historical Society says the town was laid out for "palatial mansions situated on substantial acreages," planted to give it an English countryside feel. Early rules kept out industry and large businesses, so the city still reads as homes, yards and trees from end to end. One house, at 7316 Nichols Road, sits on the National Register of Historic Places.
Large houses tend to carry busy roofs: several ridges, dormers, deep valleys, tall chimneys and steep pitches. Ask the roofer to name every material in the bid and to explain how the new roof will meet stone walls, skylights and chimney masonry.
Roof Services in Nichols Hills
Your request goes to one independent roofer who can quote any of these five jobs.
- Full replacement. Tear-off to the deck, new underlayment and flashing, and a cleanup plan for curving streets and mature trees. Details on full roof replacement.
- Hail and storm damage. A roofer can photograph and measure damage; you and your insurer settle the claim. See storm and hail damage.
- Standing-seam metal. Dormers and chimneys mean many custom cuts, so ask how each one will be flashed. See metal roofs.
- Architectural and Class 4 shingles. Many insurers offer a discount for a Class 4 or FORTIFIED roof; ask yours. See shingle roofs.
- Targeted repairs. Worn chimney flashing may need a fix, not a new roof. See roof repair.
Hail and Tornadoes in Nichols Hills
On May 16, 2010, the National Weather Service office in Norman logged 2.00-inch hail near Nichols Hills. Reports from that storm describe six damaged cars at NW 63rd Street and Portland Avenue, and broken windows from very large hail just northeast of town. NWS Norman said damage across the area ran "well into the millions."
The same office lists a June 13, 1998 tornado, rated 2 on the old Fujita scale, that crossed northwest Oklahoma City and Nichols Hills and injured four people. Both struck in late spring, so a roof check after each spring storm season is a sensible habit.
Who Issues Nichols Hills Roof Permits
Nichols Hills runs its own permit office. The city issues roofing permits; call to confirm what your project needs. The State Fire Marshal's directory of local building offices lists it at 1009 NW 75th St, Nichols Hills, OK 73116, phone (405) 843-5222. Your roofer pulls any permit before the old roof comes off.
Many homes here carry an Oklahoma City mailing address even though the parcel lies inside Nichols Hills. Check which city your address is in, then call that city's office.
What a Nichols Hills Roof Costs
No source publishes prices for Nichols Hills alone, so these are the hub's Oklahoma and Edmond figures, each with its source and year. Treat them as a starting point.
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| Oklahoma 2,000 sq ft roof, architectural | $9,000–$13,000 | askdoss, 2026 |
| Edmond re-roof, per sq ft | $5–$7 | Homeyou, 2026 |
| Oklahoma architectural shingles, per sq ft | $4.50–$6.50 | askdoss, 2026 |
| Oklahoma Class 4 shingles, per sq ft | $5.50–$8.00 | askdoss, 2026 |
| Oklahoma standing-seam metal, per sq ft | $8.00–$14.00 | askdoss, 2026 |
Size and shape move the price most here. Hips, valleys, dormers and chimneys need more labor and flashing than a plain gable of the same area, and steep pitches call for extra safety gear. Ask for an itemized written bid, then try your own numbers in the cost calculator.
What Nichols Hills Gets From This Service
Gilbert Nichols' plan made room for two golf courses, tennis courts, bridle paths, a polo field and swimming pools, and the quiet, leafy streets that came with it still define the place. One call or one form sends your request to a single independent roofer, and the referral costs you nothing.
Before you sign, ask for the roofer's "OK" number from the Construction Industries Board and verify it there. Also look for at least $500,000 in general liability insurance, workers' comp language in the contract, a local address, references and written warranty terms.

What Nichols Hills Homeowners Ask
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Nichols Hills?
The city issues roofing permits, so plan on one, but call to confirm the details for your home. The office is at 1009 NW 75th St, and the number is (405) 843-5222. A house with an Oklahoma City mailing address that sits inside Nichols Hills still goes through Nichols Hills.
Was Nichols Hills hit by the May 16, 2010 hailstorm?
Yes. NWS Norman recorded 2.00-inch hail near Nichols Hills that day, along with reports of broken windows and six damaged cars near NW 63rd and Portland. A roof put on after that storm is now about 16 years old, a sensible age for a roofer to look it over.
My roof is steep with several chimneys. Will that change the quote?
Usually, yes. Steep pitches, deep valleys and multiple chimneys add labor, flashing and safety setup, and big roofs need more material. Ask the roofer to show the measured roof area and pitch on the bid, so you can see exactly where the cost comes from.
Are there design rules for roofs in Nichols Hills?
This site has not found a published rule on roof colors or materials for Nichols Hills; city zoning is the main control we know of. When you call the permit office, ask whether your planned material or color needs any review, and keep the answer with your contract.
