This bill would set new rules around how roofing contractors can advertise and approach homeowners. It would ban certain high-pressure solicitation tactics, such as offering gifts or payments to convince homeowners to let someone inspect their roof or file an insurance claim, and would require contractors to provide a detailed, itemized cost estimate before homeowners sign any repair agreement tied to an insurance claim. Who it may affect: homeowners with property insurance, roofing contractors, and insurance companies operating in Kentucky.
