How to check Sentry Roofing Lawton on the Oklahoma record
roofing contractors in Oklahoma must hold a Construction Industries Board (CIB) registration, and the state publishes every registration in good standing in a public roofing registry Official lookup: Oklahoma Construction Industries Board (CIB) roofing registry.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
