Setting the Record Straight

There Is No Official "Approved Installer" List

A common misunderstanding is that SoonerSafe keeps a state-approved list of installers and that you must use one of them. It does not. What the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management actually requires is that your safe room meet or exceed FEMA P-320 and ICC-500, and that your installer sign a Certificate of Installation attesting to that compliance. As long as those boxes are checked, you are free to choose any qualified licensed installer.

That puts the responsibility on you to pick well. The good news is that the things that make an installer right for a SoonerSafe project are the same things that make them a good choice for any storm shelter: a current license, units tested to the standards, and a clear understanding of the rebate paperwork and timing.

What to Verify

What Your SoonerSafe Installer Needs

  • A current Oklahoma license

    Confirm the installer is licensed and insured. You can verify license status with the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board before signing anything.

  • Builds to FEMA P-320 and ICC-500

    The safe room must meet or exceed these standards to qualify for the rebate. Ask to see the unit's test documentation.

  • Will sign the Certificate of Installation

    SoonerSafe requires a Certificate of Installation signed by your installer attesting the safe room complies with the standards. Confirm they will provide it.

  • Understands the SoonerSafe timing

    A good installer knows not to start work or take payment before your official selection, and can move quickly once you confirm so you meet your deadline.

Common Questions

What should my installer provide for the rebate?

Your installer should provide an itemized paid invoice, the documentation showing the unit meets FEMA P-320 and ICC-500, and a signed SoonerSafe Certificate of Installation. You also keep proof that your payment cleared for your reimbursement submission.
