Storm Chaser Scams in Oklahoma — Don't Be a Victim

After every major Oklahoma hailstorm, out-of-state contractors flood into Tulsa neighborhoods with the same playbook: knock on doors, promise a "free roof," pressure you to sign an Assignment of Benefits (AOB), then disappear with your insurance check — leaving you with a half-finished roof and no recourse. The Oklahoma Construction Industries Board recorded 847 roofing-related complaints in 2025, and the majority involved out-of-state storm chasers. Proof Construction has helped hundreds of Tulsa homeowners recover from storm chaser damage — and we wrote this guide to help you spot the red flags before it's too late.

7 Storm Chaser Red Flags to Watch For: (1) They knock on your door unsolicited after a storm. (2) They offer to waive your deductible — which is insurance fraud in Oklahoma (SB 468, effective November 2024). (3) They pressure you to sign an AOB contract immediately. (4) They can't produce a valid Oklahoma CIB license number. (5) They have out-of-state license plates and temporary local phone numbers. (6) They demand large upfront deposits. (7) They lack a physical office address in Oklahoma. If you encounter even one of these red flags, close the door and call a licensed local contractor.
