Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Tulsa Roofing Contractor

Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Tulsa Roofing Contractor

Choosing a roofing contractor is one of the most important decisions for your home. Asking the right questions protects you from scams, shoddy work, and financial surprises.

Essential Questions

1. Are you licensed in Oklahoma?

Oklahoma requires roofing contractors to hold a valid contractor license. Ask for the license number and verify it at Oklahoma CIB.

2. Do you carry workers compensation and general liability insurance?

Without insurance, you could be liable for injuries on your property. Ask for a certificate directly from their insurer.

3. Will you remove the old roof?

Some contractors roof over old shingles. This hides problems and void warranties. Insist on full tear-off.

4. What warranties do you offer?

Ask about both manufacturer warranties (materials) and workmanship warranties (labor). Get everything in writing.

5. Who will be on my property?

Will the company use employees or subcontractors? Subcontractors may lack proper training and insurance.

6. What happens if you find hidden damage?

Hidden rot and damage often only appears after tear-off. Ask how they handle additional repairs and pricing.

7. Will you provide a written estimate?

Oral promises mean nothing. Insist on detailed written estimates including materials, labor, and timeline.
