Who the bond protects

Roofers and general contractors
Roofing contractors register with the CIB and must carry $500,000 of liability coverage for residential work, or $1,000,000 with a commercial endorsement, but no state bond is required (CIB roofing requirements). Oklahoma has no statewide general contractor license; check with your city.
How much an Oklahoma contractor bond costs
Published prices for the $5,000 bond start around $50 a year (SuretyBonds.com). See our general liability insurance guide for the coverage the license also requires.
