ABOUT THE SRCA

The SRCA, a non-profit trade association, was established on March 1, 2005. It is established as a non-profit corporation organized exclusively for charitable purposes as defined by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Its purpose is to promote the slate roofing trades, including, but not limited to, organizing slate roofing tradespersons; promoting the training and education of slate roofing contractors in traditional slate roofing practices; and pursuing the interests of slate roofing contractors in developing appropriate standards, practices, methodologies, educational materials and networks.

CONTRACTOR PROFILES

Contractor members join the SRCA via an application process that allows for a Contractor Profile to be created and posted on this website with links on our Members page and on our Contractor Directory. We list such things as whether the contractor has insurance, how many employees they have (if any), how many years they've been in business, what percentage of their work is slate roofing (and if they do other types of contracting, what sort of additional contracting they do), what their physical working range is (i.e. how far they will travel), and other criteria important to the client or customer. All contractor members agree to a Code of Ethics
