Internet Website

Consumers who are seeking quality roofing professionals have always called the FRSA offices to obtain lists of members in their areas. Consumers can now access FRSA's website at www.Floridaroof.com to obtain a complete listing of FRSA members. Your company could be listed at no charge to you; picking up only one job as a result of a consumer "surfing the net" would cover your yearly membership dues. In addition to the member list, the website includes information on upcoming FRSA activities such as educational seminars, committee meetings and convention activities, as well as a listing of member-only benefits.
