Looking up AKW Roofing and Exterior in Oklahoma
Oklahoma requires roofing contractors to register with the Construction Industries Board (CIB); registrations in good standing are published in the state's public roofing registry Official lookup: Oklahoma Construction Industries Board (CIB) roofing registry.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- The registry name, the contract name and the truck lettering should all agree; the status should be active.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
