When can you cancel an insurance-funded roofing contract?

For roofing contracts in Oklahoma, the CIB publishes the following cancellation provision tied to a written insurance-claim denial, in Title 59 section 1151.21(A).

Source: CIB, Title 59, read 5 November 2026.

CIB states: "A. When a person indicates a residential contractor will be paid by the proceeds of a property and casualty insurance policy and the person enters into a written contract with a residential contractor to provide goods and services with the understanding the insured is to pay from the proceeds of a property and casualty insurance policy claim, the person may cancel the contract within seventy- two (72) hours after the insured has received written notice from the insurer that all or any part of the claim has been denied. Cancellation is evidenced by the insured giving written notice of cancellation to the residential contractor at the address stated in the contract. Notice of cancellation, if given by mail, is effective upon deposit into the United States mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the contractor. Notice of cancellation need not take a particular form and is sufficient if it indicates, by any form of written expression, the intention of the insured not to be bound by the contract." — Title 59 section 1151.21(A), read 5 November 2026.
