Colorado SB38 - The Consumer Protection/Roofing Bill

Amy, you out there?

Language states SB38 "applies to residential properties for roofing work over $1,000"

This may just be a blessing in disguise, so-to-speak;

All contracts involing roofing must have this language included. This means all home improvement, general contracts, home building, etc. that include roofing work...Or is one or more specifically exempted?

Also; There is precise language that states the contractor carriies GL & WC...This is the most dynamic language, as it could essentially put an end to the "sub-game" here in Colorado.

Of course...Once again...Only if enforced :(

BTW; How is this going to be enforced? As there is no state contractor licensing, there's no one to enforce :S

Since state licensing is out of the question...The next bill could be to eliminate subcontracting like-trade work...

IOW's; similar to a Mass. bill a few yrs ago, whereas making it illegal to subcontract same trade work...Roofers cannot sub roofing, etc....The notion of same-trade subbing is merely a vehicle to cheat anyhow. What other viable reason would one have to subcontract same trade work, other than to side-step appropriate labor burdens?
