Ideal Accounts and Appetite
We are actively seeking roofing contractors with at least three years of experience in repairs, replacements, or new installations.

Acceptable classes include:
- Residential roofing contractors
- Light commercial roofing contractors
Restrictions include:
- No hot tar, torch-down, or other hot work
- No flat roof work
