Statement of purpose

The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) was formed in 1886 to preserve and promote the art of roofing application. NRCA members recognize that after more than a century of innovation in roofing technology and roof system application, the following goals are as meaningful and relevant today as they were yesterday and will be tomorrow.

NRCA remains a strong supporter of open competition and the free enterprise system; this competitive environment has led to its member firms' success. NRCA members recognize that the perpetuation of a healthy business environment is influenced greatly by their own professional conduct. NRCA supports the following practices and encourages members to support them, as well.

"The price was good compared to others. They gave us an estimate. They did a follow up on the work they did. They cleaned any mess they made. They were friendly." William, Milwaukee, WI Masonry
