Latest version.
  • (a)   A valid and current registration issued pursuant to the Roofing Contractor Registration Act is required before a person may advertise or act as a roofing contractor, including but not limited to when a person may be a subcontractor providing Direct Supervision for Roofing Contractor Work as those terms are defined by the Roofing Contractor Registration Act and OAC 158:85-1-2, unless the person is exempt under the Roofing Contractor Registration Act. A roofing contractor's registration and required liability insurance shall be valid and in good standing at the time of soliciting a project and during subsequent job performance.
    (b)   A roofing contractor's registration certificate cannot be shared or used by any other individual or business entity; provided, however, a combination of contractors may be collectively registered for use by designated contractors acting as agents for a business entity so long as the application for registration contains sufficient information on each member of the business entity, each member individually meets all of the requirements for registration set forth in the Act and these rules, and the business entity is registered listing all designated contractor members of the business entity.
    (c)   A roofing firm shall only have one (1) qualifying party associated with and responsible for each roofing firm.
    (1)   A roofing firm with a currently registered and commercially endorsed qualifying party may make application to hold a commercial endorsement exam and file number in stand-by status allowing a designated person to sit for the commercial endorsement exam and to be eligible to be designated in the future by their roofing firm as the commercially endorsed qualifying party for the roofing firm when there is no qualifying party associated with the roofing firm and all other requirements for qualifying party are met.
    (2)   The commercial endorsement file number stand-by status allows a person to apply for and take the commercial endorsement examination for the purpose of standing by until designated by the roofing firm as the firm's commercially endorsed qualifying party.
    (3)   A roofing firm shall have only one (1) stand-by application on file at a time.
    (4)   The commercial endorsement passing exam scores are valid for three (3) years or until the OUBCC changes the standards of installation set forth in this Chapter, whichever comes first. A person with stand-by status who has not been designated as the qualifying party by the roofing firm after three (3) years of passing the commercial exam or when the OUBCC changes the standards of installation per this Chapter, must retest before being appointed as the qualifying party, then apply and meet all other requirements.
