About Roof Neighbor

A free 3-minute roof-check tool for Oklahoma homeowners. Built and operated by Sam Carlton in Tulsa. Runs entirely in your browser — no signup, no login, no account required.

What it does

Guides you through a short self-inspection quiz about roof age, recent storm exposure, and visible symptoms — about three minutes from start to finish.
Returns a concern tier (LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH) with a plain-English written explanation.
Shows a directory of 150+ Tulsa-metro roofers verified against the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board (CIB) registry.
Flags insurance-policy patterns (ACV coverage, percentage deductibles, ordinance-or-law coverage) that affect whether a roof-replacement claim is likely to be funded.

Who runs it

Roof Neighbor is built and operated by Sam Carlton, a software engineer in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

How it's funded

Roof Neighbor is free for homeowners. One Tulsa-area roofer (Thomas Longacre of Longacre Roofing) pays a referral fee when a homeowner who matches a real repair or replacement profile reaches out to him. His listing is labeled Sponsored on every page it appears.

The other 150+ community roofers in the directory are ranked independently of any payment. Their order is determined by location match, verification status, BBB rating, years in business, and symptom-to-specialty fit — not by money. This mirrors the matchmaker model used by NerdWallet and similar tools.

How the directory is built

The roofer directory is editorial. Sam compiles it from public records — primarily the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board (CIB) registry — and community recommendations. It is not a pay-for-placement listing and roofers cannot buy a slot by submitting a form.

Each listing includes the roofer's CIB registration status, BBB rating when available, service area, and community-source links when homeowner recommendations exist.
