How to check Z Construction & Roofing on the Oklahoma record
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.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
