Two roofing companies are banned from doing business in Kansas and must pay thousands of dollars in penalties for alleged violations of the state's roofing and consumer protection laws.
A release from Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt reports that Benjamin Thayer of Cambridge, Wis., and Ryan Metzker of Fort Atkinson, Wis., and Copperhead Contracting of Milton, Wis., are enjoined from operating as roofing contractors in Kansas. The ban is the result of a default judgment approved by Shawnee County District Court Judge Mary E. Christopher, which also orders the defendants to pay $230,000 in penalties.
