Kansas Roofer Ordered to Repay More Than $8,300 to Consumer, Fined $110,000

March 29, 2021

TOPEKA, Kan. — A Salina roofer has been ordered to pay more than $8,300 in restitution and fined $110,000 for violating the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, including the Kansas Roofing Registration Act, said Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt.

According to a release from Schmidt's office, Michael J. Stubbs, doing business as Triple M Roofing and Remodeling, was also temporarily banned from performing roofing services in Kansas. On March 19, McPherson County District Judge John Klenda approved a default judgment in McPherson County District Court after Stubbs failed to respond to a lawsuit filed by the attorney general.

Stubbs was ordered to pay $8,316 in restitution to a McPherson County resident and was fined $110,000 for numerous other violations of the Kansas Roofing Registration Act (KRRA). Stubbs and Triple M Roofing and Remodeling are temporarily banned from operating as a roofing contractor until a valid roofing registration is obtained from the Office of the Attorney General.

Additionally, in recent months, Schmidt has entered into consent judgments with the following 12 roofers for violations of the KRRA. The settlements require the contractors to pay civil penalties for KRRA violations and to comply with the KRRA when providing roofing services in the future. The 12 roofing contractors fined are:

Rainbow Roofing, LLC; Wyandotte County District Court; 2021-CV-000087
Guardian Construction, LLC; Coffey County District Court; 2021-CV-000002

Ultimate Roofing Consulting & Development, LLC; Shawnee County District Court; 2020-CV-000557

In each case, Schmidt alleged the defendants or defendants’ subcontractors engaged in advertising, soliciting or performing roofing contractor services in Kansas without registering or while holding a status other than in good standing with the attorney general’s office as required by the KRRA, or violating other provisions of the Kansas Roofing Registration Act.
