Registered & Insured

The roofing industry provides quality services and products to homeowners and takes pride in their reputation and work. However, there are a few bad apples that swoop in from out of state during a hail or windstorm and provide shoddy work, or even worse, take trusting homeowners’ money and skip town.

Luckily, there are easy ways to avoid these scam artists:

1. Does the roofing company have a brick & mortar building that you can visit? This is the best way to ensure they are a reputable local business.
2. Be cautious of people going door to door looking to provide work or service. Do they have a professional website, business cards, logo shirts, and driving a vehicle with a local phone number and  license/CIB number? 
3. Ask for a copy of their general liability insurance and then call the insurance agent to verify coverage. Some companies obtain insurance just to get a registration number and quit paying the bill, leaving the homeowner open to liability. 
4. Do not blindly trust internet 5 star reviews, as these can be manipulated by the scammer. Do the research yourself and ask a trusted friend who they recommend and have used to do their home repair projects. 
5. Most importantly, verify the company’s Construction Industries Board registration. Residential and commercial roofing companies in Oklahoma are required to file for registration. The contractor must submit their qualifications, show evidence of liability insurance of no less than $500,000.00, show evidence of workers’ compensation insurance coverage or exemption from coverage, provide certain information and meet other criteria as specified in the RCRA. The roofing contractor must register annually. We can’t stress the importance of checking a company’s registration enough to make sure they are still in good standing and their registration is not suspended, denied, or revoked.
