Midwest Roofing Contractors Association (MRCA)

The Midwest Roofing Contractors Association (MRCA) is an association of roofing contractors that have joined together to develop and administer programs and services that help member companies build their businesses and save them money while continually working to improve the roofing industry.

MRCA represents the needs of the contractor to manufacturers, consultants and other regulatory agencies.

While MRCA consists primarily of roofing contractor members, those in the supplier segments are allowed to join as Associate members.

Does your team need safety training? As an MRCA Member, you will receive safety material and training opportunities monthly in English and Spanish!

Become an MRCA member and take advantage of this service. For more information visit MRCA's Safety Page.
