How to Spot a Storm-Chaser Roofer After an Oklahoma Hailstorm

After major Oklahoma hail, out-of-state 'storm chasers' go door to door pressuring homeowners to sign quickly. Protect yourself: never sign on the spot, verify Oklahoma licensing and local references, and be suspicious of anyone offering to waive your deductible (which is illegal in Oklahoma).

Red flags

• ✔Door-knocking with high-pressure, sign-now tactics
• ✔No verifiable local address, license, or long-term reviews
• ✔Offers to 'pay' or 'waive' your insurance deductible
• ✔Asking for large upfront payment before work begins
• ✔Vague, non-itemized contracts or 'contingency' forms you don't understand

A reputable local contractor gives you time, a written itemized proposal, verifiable credentials, and stands behind the work with a real warranty.
