NEW YORK CITY — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a law on Monday that aims to protect homeowners from storm-chasing roofing contractors and scammers.
The legislation (S1405/A7531) is meant to deter unsavory roofing contractors who swoop in after severe weather events and perform shoddy repair work or, in some cases, no work at all. The law will require roofing contractors to enter written contracts with property owners before any work can begin.
