How to Hire a Roofing Contractor Safely and Avoid Scams

General information only. Not legal or professional advice.

1. Get at least 3 written quotes from different contractors.

2. Check the contractor's Oklahoma CIB registration and insurance before signing anything.

3. Never pay the full price upfront.

4. Get a written contract that lists the materials, the price, the timeline, and the warranty.

5. Be cautious of anyone who knocks on your door after a storm.

6. Take your time. A good contractor will not rush you.

7. Ask a trusted person to read the contract with you, if you can.
