Bay Area Roofing Contractor, Above All Roofing Solutions Inc., Announces Roof Repair Discount

SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Although it took nine years to sentence Michael Amzie Holley of Orange County-based So Cal Roofing, contractors throughout California are pleased that justice is finally being served. In late February 2012, Holley was sentenced to time in jail for multiple felony counts of insurance fraud, including failure to pay more than $500,000 in workers' compensation insurance. "It is unfortunate that it took so long to bring this criminal to justice," said California Professional Association of Specialty Contractors Executive Director Brad Diede. "It's our hope that enhanced, coordinated efforts by state agencies, such as the Department of Insurance's Labor Enforcement Task Force (LETF) and the Employment Development Department's Joint Enforcement Strike Force, will educate and force contractors to comply or put them out of business more quickly."

According to a recent media report, Holley carried only the minimum amount of workers' compensation insurance while failing to declare he was employing subcontractors, hiring unlicensed employees, falsifying state payroll reports and paying workers under the table.

"The Roofing Contractors Association of California (RCAC) is encouraged by the conviction of Holley, and we applaud the Orange County District Attorney's office for seeing this case through to a successful conclusion," said RCAC's Executive Director Marc Connerly. "Unfortunately, thistype of fraud is far too prevalent in California's roofing industry, which is why RCAC is sponsoring AB 2219. This bill will extend the mandate that all roofing contractors must carry a valid workers' compensation insurance policy and will require insurers to perform an annual in-person audit of the payroll records and place of business in order to ascertain the true size of roofing company operations."

The Construction Enforcement Coalition, comprised of employers, businesses, associations and labor groups, has been working tirelessly since its formation in 2010 to encourage state agencies to coordinate in apprehending contractors who are intentionally skirting the law and costing the state billions of dollars in unpaid payroll taxes and workers' compensation insurance. According to the Contractors State License Board (CSLB), more than 50 percent of the roofing companies in test cases conducted in three California counties were underreporting payroll, resulting in a significant loss of revenue to the state, unnecessary exposure for employees and property owners and substantially inflated insurance premiums for honest roofing companies.

"Legitimate roofing contractors should win the bids for work," said John Upshaw, Executive Director of the Independent Roofing Contractors of California. "Too often, non-compliant contractors refuse to pay unavoidable fixed costs and underbid jobs while owners, builders, general contractors and awarding authorities let them get away with it. It's clear we need to identify these bad actors much sooner, denying them access to the bid process before they get in front of legitimate contractors."

The Union Roofing Contractors Association (URCA) members support the effort to bring non-compliant contractors to justice. According to URCA's Executive Director Ron Johnston, "Roofing contractors who act unlawfully to 'con the system' fly in the face of what we stand for and must pay for their actions. We all need to unite to combat this problem of low-bidding, cheating contractors stealing work from legitimate contractors."

Another example of successful partnering between state agencies was the apprehension of Orange-County contractor Benito German Lopez Cruz by the CSLB and LETF last month. Lopez Cruz was contracting for swimming pool and plastering business without a license, paying employees in cash and not carrying workers' compensation insurance.

"Unfortunately, the swimming pool and plastering business is fraught with noncompliant contractors," said John Norwood, President, California Spa & Pool Industry Education Council. "Homeowners believing they are only paying for a pool could end up paying for much more, including the shoddy work of unlicensed contractors and, even worse, an injury to a worker on their property if the contractor is not licensed and doesn't carry workers' compensation insurance."

In 2010, CALPASC instituted the LEVEL Program to work closely with state agencies in cracking down on contractors and is a leader in the Construction Enforcement Coalition.

"We must continue advocating for efficiencies and effectiveness in enforcement," said Diede. "Through the LEVEL Program and Coalition, we will continue fighting to eliminate unfair business practices and leveling the playing field."

Major roofing resource website, Roofing-Directory.com, has added two new resources for homeowners that will ease the roof replacement and repair process.

Greenbelt, MD (PRWEB) March 02, 2012

Roofing resource website leader Roofing-Directory.com has announced multiple sources for homeowners looking for roof repair or replacement this year. They now feature a toll free 800 number for people who may not prefer to use the online form method of connecting with roofing companies. In addition to this new 800 number roofing contractor referral source, the website also features a roofing cost calculator.

The company decided to add an 800 number to help homeowners connect with a roofing company because some people are not comfortable using a form, or typing in their contact information on the internet. The 800 number feature brings the classic call for a quote approach back to roofing. This is something that has been virtually absent in the home improvement industry since the internet became the primary source to find contractors.

The roofing cost calculator tool was added to the site to let homeowners get an idea of what the roofing project they have coming up may cost them, prior to speaking with a roofing company. This gives people an advantage in terms of budgeting and scheduling the timing of their estimate requests. We felt like if we added a tool to the site that let homeowners know a little more about what to expect upfront, that they would be able to then budget out the costs and plan their replacement projects better, said Ryan Corey, Roofing-Directory.com Owner.

Roofing-Directory.com has been safely and quickly connecting homeowners with local roofing companies since 2007. To request free estimates for any type of roofing project, call (888) 516-1556 You may also visit the website for more details or to browse by region.

A roofing contractor who changed an agreed safety procedure resulting in one of his employees falling 5.4 metres onto concrete, has been fined $5,000 today.

Louis James Petersen, trading as LJ Roofing, was also ordered to pay $5,000 in reparation to the injured man, who Department of Labour Southern Manager Jean Martin described as extremely fortunate to only suffer a fractured elbow.

The Christchurch District Court heard that Peterson was replacing roofing iron on a commercial building in Sockburn in May 2011, and had agreed with the roofing contractor who hired him to remove and replace one 400mm-wide sheet at a time.

This gap was considered narrow enough to avoid falls but it was later decided that removing one sheet at a time wasn't practical and increased it to three. This left a 1.2m gap however the safety procedure was not amended. As three workers carried a replacement sheet over the gap by standing on purlins, one of them fell.

Ms Martin says that, having agreed safe practice, it was unacceptable for the employer to change how the task was carried out without further discussion.

"With no safety procedures in place, a gap of this width presented a huge danger to the workers," says Ms Martin.

"This employee was not using a harness or safety line, and there was no fall protection.

"The defendant was aware of and trained in height safety measures and associated industry guidelines, but chose to do nothing to prevent a fall. This was negligence - and an illustration of the need for the three-year harm reduction campaign we launched last December to raise awareness about working safety at height.

"A fall of much less than this one can kill, so this worker is very fortunate, others have not been.

This is a timely reminder to all employers that they are responsible under the Health and Safety in Employment Act to ensure that their employees are kept safe and healthy at work.

Company fined after employee falls five metres

A Christchurch roofing contractor has been fined $5000 after failing to protect one of his employees from falling 5.4 metres onto concrete.

Louis James Petersen, trading as LJ Roofing, was also ordered to pay $5,000 in reparation to the injured man by the Christchurch District Court today.

Petersen had been replacing roofing iron on a commercial building in Sockburn in May 2011, and had agreed with the roofing contractor who hired him to remove and replace only one 400mm-wide sheet at a time.

Petersen later decided that removing one sheet at a time was not practical and increased it to three, leaving a 1.2m gap.

He did not amend the agreed safety procedures.

Soon after, a worker fell through the gap while carrying a replacement sheet with two others.

Department of Labour Southern manager Jean Martin said the injured man was fortunate to only suffer a fractured elbow in the fall.

"A fall of much less than this one can kill, so this worker is very fortunate, others have not been."

It was unacceptable for the employer to change the way the job was carried out without further discussion, she said.
