The United Association of Storm Restoration Contractors (UASRC) is pleased to announce the addition of founding member, Craftsman Restoration and Remodeling to the organization.

Craftsman is based out of Fairlawn, Ohio and has two other offices in Oregon, Ohio and Lexington. “We’re excited to add the Craftsman as a founding member of the UASRC. They bring a great level of energy and dedication to the industry and will add to our growing list of quality contractors involved in the organization” said Bill Combes, director of Marketing and Membership for the UASRC.

The UASRC was formed as a non-profit organization with the goal of inspiring positive change in the storm restoration industry. The mission of the UASRC and its initial founding Members is to promote the highest ethical standards in the restoration industry. Our Members adhere to a code of professional conduct, educate property owners about the insurance claims process, and give back to the community through outreach and charitable programs.

The founders now consist of the following companies: Hoffman Weber Construction, Mastercraft Exteriors, Canopy Construction, Reroof America, PGRS, Kaiser Roofing, Precision Roof Contractors, American Home Specialists, Infinity Roofing and Siding, Grace Homes, Cedar Valley Exteriors, ProTouch Exteriors, Ideal Roofing and Exteriors, Aspenmark Roofing and Solar, Storm Guard Franchise Systems and Craftsman Restoration and Remodeling.

With more than 100 years of combined experience in the roofing and restoration industry, our founding members look to make a positive impact on the industry by providing the best in-class service to homeowners affected by storms. The UASRC will also work closely with legislators, insurance companies, and both local and national media to improve the practices and image of the storm restoration industry.

The UASRC has a distinguished board of advisors. These advisors agreed to be a voice of experience to help guide the UASRC make their vision a reality and come from many facets of the storm restoration industry including suppliers, manufactures and support product vendors.
After storms hit an area, homeowners are often approached by transient roofing companies to assist with insurance claims and repairing the damage. UASRC members will be instantly recognizable with their credentials and UASRC identification badges. As a best practice, you should look for the following to identify a legitimate roofer:

• Clearly represents their products and services, including adequate disclosures of all material terms in writing
• Provides proper information on their insurance coverage
• Openly identifies the nature, location and ownership of the business and clearly discloses all policies, guarantees and procedures relevant to the customer
• Abides by all written agreements and verbal representations
• Does not offer or agree to cover the insurance deductible
