About MRCA
The Midwest Roofing Contractors Association (MRCA) is an association of roofing contractors who have joined together to develop and administer programs and services that help member companies build their business, save money, and continually improve the roofing industry.
MRCA represents the needs of contractors to manufacturers, consultants, and regulatory agencies. While MRCA consists primarily of roofing contractor members, those in supplier segments are also welcomed as Associate members.
Our Mission
The Midwest Roofing Contractors Association (MRCA) is an independent regional roofing contractors' association organized to assist member roofing contracting companies in prospering in their businesses by being a contractor advocate, acting as an industry spokesman, disseminating information to the membership through a bi-monthly newsletter, providing valuable education at its annual conference, and serving as an active resource for members with technical, business management, safety, and legal advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can be a member of MRCA?
Any established roofing contractor in the United States engaged in the application of roofing, waterproofing, siding, or insulation. MRCA also welcomes manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and service providers who support the needs of roofing contractors to join as Associate Members.
Isn’t MRCA just for big commercial contractors?
Not at all. Programs and services such as SHARP and MRCA LAW are valuable membership resources for contractors of any size or type. The MRCA Technical and Research Committee is committed to investigating roofing materials in both commercial and residential markets and reporting findings on behalf of the entire roofing industry.
I am already a member of the national or state / local association. Why should I join a regional association?
Membership in the national and your state or local association is important, and MRCA recommends joining all three if possible. A regional association fills an important niche. MRCA is large enough to offer valuable programs and services, but small enough to remain responsive to member needs. Since MRCA accepts only contractors as members, it is free to serve as the contractor's advocate. By focusing on the middle part of the United States, MRCA can offer programs shaped by contractors with similar needs and concerns.
I’m already a successful roofing contractor. Why should I join MRCA?
The most successful companies want to stay successful. MRCA offers programs and services that can help grow your business, save money, and strengthen your position during uncertain times. MRCA also works to improve the roofing industry as a whole through programs like Applicator Agreement Review and the work of the Technical & Research Committee. By joining MRCA, you help strengthen both your company and the industry.
I can’t afford the membership dues, but am interested in MRCA. What can I do?
Membership in MRCA is a business investment, not simply a business expense. When you join MRCA, you receive a membership packet with ready-to-use business management forms and the most recent applicator agreement review guide. You also gain access to MRCA LAW and other services included in your dues. The money saved by using these programs and services can often more than cover the cost of membership. Membership in MRCA is also 100% tax deductible as a necessary and ordinary business expense.
I have an applicator agreement that I believe has not yet been reviewed. What do I do?
If you are a member of MRCA, contact Bob Pope at the MRCA office and he will coordinate the review of your agreement with Gary Auman of Auman, Mahan & Furry.
How do I find out the licensing requirement for the state where I will be working?
MRCA members may download the latest licensing requirements for most states from Business Forms in the Members Only section.
I have received an OSHA citation. What should I do?
If you are a member of MRCA, you may contact MRCA Safety Consultant, Frank Marino, at 630/878-1291 for general information.
