What should you ask an Oklahoma contractor before you hire?

Ask which of the board's trades the job falls under, look for a roofer's registration number on the roofer's business materials, and use the matching search on the board's consumer lookup page; for any home job, also ask your city or county about permits. These are practical suggestions, not rules from the statute.
