WHEN YOU SEE THE BADGE

A membership with
clear commitments.

An NRSA member is a roofing business that has signed the NRSA Homeowner Commitment—our Code of Standards. The badge gives you a way to recognize that commitment and look up its membership.

It’s one part of your homework. Always check current licenses, insurance, references, and the written contract before hiring.

ABOUT NRSA

A shared commitment
to doing business responsibly.

National Roofing Standards Alliance is an independent membership association for roofing businesses in the United States and Canada.

We publish the NRSA Homeowner Commitment, administer membership records, and give members a way to make their commitments visible. If you have a concern about a member’s compliance with the Code, you can contact NRSA.

Does membership certify workmanship?

No. Membership means a business has signed the Code and holds a current membership. NRSA does not independently verify credentials or inspect roofing work. Homeowners should confirm current licensing and insurance. See how membership works.
