The Roofing Industry Is Changing — And Not Always for the Better

Over the past several years, the roofing and solar industries have experienced massive growth. Storm activity has increased. Insurance regulations have tightened. Out-of-state contractors flood local neighborhoods after every major weather event. Solar door-knocking has exploded.

And unfortunately, so have misleading sales tactics, insurance manipulation, and poor workmanship.

That’s exactly why organizations like the Roofing & Solar Reform Alliance (RSRA) exist.

Founded by Adam Bensman, RSRA was created to protect contractors who want to operate ethically — and to protect homeowners from bad actors who damage the reputation of the entire industry.

As a member of RSRA, Rocket Roofing aligns with a national movement focused on integrity, compliance, professionalism, and long-term sustainability in roofing and solar.

Let’s break down what that really means for you.

What Is the Roofing & Solar Reform Alliance (RSRA)?
The Roofing & Solar Reform Alliance (RSRA) is a nationwide organization of contractors committed to:

• Ethical sales practices
• Legal and insurance compliance
• Raising industry standards
• Contractor education and accountability
• Protecting homeowners from deceptive practices

It was founded by Adam Bensman, a nationally recognized roofing sales trainer and industry educator who saw firsthand how aggressive insurance tactics, loophole exploitation, and poor compliance were putting contractors — and homeowners — at risk.

The mission of RSRA is simple:
Reform the roofing and solar industries by promoting lawful, ethical, sustainable business practices.

This is especially important in states like Louisiana, where new laws and regulations continue to evolve around roofing marketing and insurance involvement.
 

Why Industry Reform Is Necessary

If you’ve lived in Louisiana long enough, you’ve seen it:

• Storm hits.
• Trucks with out-of-state plates roll in.
• “Free roof” promises start flying.
• Insurance claims get exaggerated.
• Homeowners get caught in the middle.

The result?

• Premiums go up.
• Policies get stricter.
• Deductibles increase.
• Claims get harder to approve.

When contractors blur the line between construction and insurance negotiation, everyone pays the price — especially homeowners.

RSRA exists to draw clear boundaries:

• Contractors build roofs.
• Insurance companies adjust claims.
• Homeowners make informed decisions.

No gray area. No manipulation.
 

What RSRA Membership Means for Rocket Roofing

Being part of RSRA isn’t a marketing badge. It’s a commitment to how we operate.

Here’s what that looks like in practice.

1. Strict Legal & Insurance Compliance

We do not:

• Act as public adjusters
• Interpret insurance policies
• Negotiate claims on behalf of homeowners
• Waive deductibles illegally

Instead, we:

• Provide honest inspections
• Deliver detailed construction estimates
• Let insurance carriers make coverage determinations
• Educate homeowners without crossing legal lines

This protects you from claim disputes and protects us from regulatory issues.
 

2. Ethical Sales Practices

Some companies sell roofs using fear:

• “Your insurance will cancel you.”
• “Sign now or lose coverage.”
• “We’ll get it bought no matter what.”

That’s not how we operate.

RSRA contractors are trained to:

• Provide transparent information
• Offer realistic expectations
• Give homeowners time to make decisions
• Respect “no”

That builds long-term trust — not short-term pressure.
 

3. Ongoing Education & Industry Awareness

RSRA members stay informed about:

• State-level roofing legislation
• Insurance law changes
• Marketing compliance rules
• Solar and roofing crossover regulations

In Louisiana especially, roofing regulations continue to evolve. Staying compliant isn’t optional — it’s essential.

Being part of RSRA ensures we’re not just reacting to changes — we’re aware of them early and adapting responsibly.
 

How This Protects Louisiana Homeowners

Rocket Roofing serves:

• Hammond
• Baton Rouge
• New Orleans
• Covington
• Slidell
• Amite

In storm-prone regions like ours, roofing decisions are often made during stressful times.

That’s when homeowners are most vulnerable to misinformation.

RSRA alignment means:

You Get:

• Straight answers
• Honest damage assessments
• Clear pricing
• Transparent contracts
• Legal compliance

You Avoid:

• Insurance claim manipulation
• Deductible schemes
• Questionable paperwork
• High-pressure signing tactics

That’s peace of mind — especially during storm season.

RSRA and the Future of Roofing

The roofing industry is at a crossroads.

On one side:

• Storm chasers
• Legal gray areas
• Insurance games
• Short-term profit thinking

On the other:

• Professional contractors
• Transparent processes
• Legal compliance
• Long-term community relationships

RSRA represents the second path.

It’s about creating an industry where:

• Contractors can operate profitably without cutting corners.
• Homeowners can trust the company on their roof.
• Insurance relationships remain professional.
• Regulations become clearer, not stricter.

When contractors reform themselves, government intervention becomes less necessary.

Why This Matters More Than Ever in Louisiana

Louisiana is one of the most storm-impacted states in the country.

After hurricanes and hail events, roofing activity spikes dramatically. So does:

• Out-of-state solicitation
• Insurance-focused marketing
• Questionable claim strategies

Recent legislation has made it clear: contractors must stay in their lane when it comes to insurance involvement.

As a business committed to long-term growth in this state — not quick storm revenue — we believe compliance is strength, not limitation.
RSRA reinforces that belief.

How This Aligns with Rocket Roofing’s Core Values

Rocket Roofing isn’t trying to be the biggest overnight.

We’re building a brand known for:

• Professionalism
• Speed of execution
• Transparent systems
• Smart use of technology
• Long-term reputation

Our instant online estimate tool.

Our drone inspection campaigns.

Our detailed documentation process.

All of it is built around clarity and efficiency — not manipulation.

RSRA membership strengthens that foundation.

What You Should Look For in Any Roofing Contractor

Whether you choose Rocket Roofing or not, here are questions every homeowner should ask: Do you negotiate insurance claims for me? Will you waive or absorb my deductible? Are you licensed and insured in this state? Can you explain exactly what your contract says? What happens if insurance approves less than expected?
If the answers feel vague or evasive — proceed cautiously.

Professional contractors don’t need shortcuts.

Final Thoughts: Reform Starts with Accountability

The Roofing & Solar Reform Alliance isn’t about marketing slogans.

It’s about raising the bar.

By aligning with RSRA, Rocket Roofing commits to:

• Operating legally
• Selling ethically
• Building correctly
• Protecting homeowners
• Protecting the future of our industry

That’s the kind of contractor we believe Louisiana deserves.

If you’d like an honest roof inspection, a clear explanation of your options, or even just a “clean bill of health,” we’re here to help — without pressure.
