For Roofing and Waterproofing Contractors
DON'T LET THE WRONG PERSON ON YOUR ROOF.
Thousands of South African homeowners discover the problem too late. After signing the quote. After the payment. After the damage.
The Risk Is Real
ONE WRONG HIRE. ONE VERY EXPENSIVE LESSON.
These are the types of complaints we receive from homeowners every week.
The Disappearing Contractor
Deposit paid. Work started. Contractor disappears mid-job. No recourse. No contact. No insurance.
The Failed Waterproofing
Waterproofing ‘completed’. First heavy rain. Ceiling collapses. Contractor blames product. Product company blames application. You pay for everything — twice.
The Safety Non-Compliance
Roof installed without structural sign-off. House sold. Buyer’s inspector flags it. Sale falls through. Certification would have prevented this.
WHAT PRWA CERTIFICATION GUARANTEES YOU
Verified Competency
Every certified contractor has passed a technical assessment. They don't just claim to know what they're doing — they've proved it.
Workmanship Guarantee
Work done by PRAWA members is backed by a guarantee programme. If something goes wrong, there's a structured path to resolution.
Legal Compliance
PRAWA members are registered, insured, and tax compliant. You're protected from liability that comes with using informal operators.
Dispute Resolution
PRAWA operates an independent complaints process. If a member fails to deliver, we step in — not as a helpline, but as an authority.
Before You Sign Anything
BEFORE YOU SIGN ANYTHING, DO THIS.
Tick off each item before you commit to any roofing or waterproofing contractor. If they fail even one of these checks, walk away.
Important: If a contractor cannot provide a PRWA member number, they are not certified. Walk away.
