We are Oklahoma Born and Based small company, Have been Roofing Oklahoma 30 years now. So as you could Imagine we have seen just about everything, and Roofed it as well. Basically our Main goal and focus is providing Professional Exterior Services at a affordable price, As we do not work for or with Insurance Companies, We work for Customers with only They're best interest in mind. Fortunately enough I am an Expert in Insurance Negotiations, Not one to be toyed with as I have had a Aunt and Uncle were Adjusters and my Dad was a Farmers Agent 47 years. Allot of Homeowners are not aware that Insurance adjusters main goal is to pay out the least amount possible on claims, and what was considered conflict of Interest years ago and Illegal , Is now just common practice. Some Insurance Companies are using Roofing Contractors as Independent Adjusters.So if you don't have your own Roofer my suggestion is get one From Oklahoma. Because that is the first person you should call if and when you think you have Storm related damage. They will come out and do initial Inspection to verify damage , Making sure it is Extensive enough to file a claim, If you call Insurance Company first you will get a claim called a 0 claim that counts against you and raises your rates weather you have damage or not. I will tell you as well that if you don't have a Roofing Expert in your corner before hand 8 out of 10 times cause I have seen it over and over they will not give you a fair honest evaluation.

You'll certainly want to ask them this. Steer clear of any company that is not insured in Oklahoma, because that means that any incidental damage they may do on your property will be a real hassle to recover compensation for. It is never wise to work with uninsured tradesmen of any kind. Most states also require that someone have insurance in order to be issued a trade license. If they say they're licensed but not insured, they're being less than truthful.
These first two questions should only relate to services or good purchased directly from the service provider. Many products carry their own warranties, like roofing shingles or siding. It's useful to know what these warranties cover as well as how long they last. The "warranty agent" question is important, because often warranty agents work with the manufacturer to get you repairs under warranty at a much lower price.
This will be answered when you ask if all employees are licensed. The only way to obtain a legitimate tradesman's license is to be a legal or naturalized citizen of the US. The company may employ people in positions that don't require a license, however, so it's wise to inquire.
This is important mostly for larger jobs. Clearly a two man operation is going to build a home much slower than a 15 man crew. This is also a good indication of the overall size of the Roofing company, if that's an area of concern for you. The reason you may want to ask about the fleet is that fleet size is a good indicator of the mobility of the company. Mobility may not sound important, but it's hard for the Oklahoma City contractors to get to job sites if they lack appropriate vehicles.
Some companies may require a 10% deposit, some may not require any. For larger projects, you'll almost always need to give a deposit, and it's good to ask how much the deposit will be before going forward with a project. The Oklahoma City contractor will know how much they need for a deposit when they've given you the estimate, so ask early.
