NC S576

Adds Article 9 to Chapter 75 of General Statutes establishing consumer protections for roofing repair contractors in North Carolina, applying to repairs with estimated costs exceeding $1,000.

Requires all roofing repair contracts to be in writing and include contractor contact information, itemized cost estimates, inspection disclosure, insurance certificate, and language matching the sales presentation to the consumer.

Establishes a limited three-day cancellation right if an insurance claim is denied or not covered, requiring refund of all payments within 10 days except for emergency services already performed.

Prohibits roofing contractors from advertising deductible payoffs as inducements, offering upgrades or discounts to encourage sales, obtaining powers of attorney, or adjusting insurance claims on behalf of consumers.

Makes violations of these protections unfair and deceptive trade practices enforceable under existing consumer protection law, effective October 1, 2019.
