Accessibility Statement

Last updated: October 21, 2025

Scope and Commitment

RoofingContractors.org and its affiliated domains (collectively, "the Site") are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all visitors, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to comply with applicable accessibility standards and laws to provide equal access to our information, products, and services.

This Accessibility Statement applies to all pages within the RoofingContractors.org domain, including user portals, membership pages, and resources provided by the American Roofing Contractors Organization (ARCO).

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including blindness, low vision, hearing loss, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of these.

Applicable Laws and Regulations

RoofingContractors.org endeavors to comply with:

  • Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
  • Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended
  • California Unruh Civil Rights Act (where applicable)
  • Other state and local accessibility laws to the extent they apply to our operations

Accessibility Features

To enhance usability and accessibility, our website includes:

  • Full keyboard navigation capability
  • Alternative text for all meaningful images and icons
  • High-contrast color palette and readable font sizing
  • Logical heading structures and consistent page hierarchy
  • Responsive layouts compatible with mobile and assistive devices
  • Use of ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) labels for clarity and navigation
  • Forms designed for clear tab order and screen-reader compatibility

Assistive Technology Compatibility

Our website is tested for compatibility with commonly used browsers and assistive technologies, including:

  • Screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver
  • Keyboard-only navigation
  • Speech-to-text and magnification tools
  • Current versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge

Known Limitations

We acknowledge that certain portions of our website may not yet fully meet the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards:

  • Third-party embedded content (e.g., maps, videos, widgets) may have accessibility limitations.
  • Older PDF files and downloadable resources may not be fully optimized for assistive technology.
  • Some visual charts and infographics may not include full text alternatives.

We are actively working to resolve these issues as part of our ongoing commitment to accessibility.

Alternative Access

If you encounter content that you cannot access, we will provide the information or service in an alternative format upon request (e.g., accessible PDF, plain-text file, or phone assistance). Requests will be addressed within two (2) business days.

Ongoing Evaluation and Remediation

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We:

  • Conduct accessibility reviews and audits at least quarterly.
  • Utilize automated scanning tools and manual testing with assistive technology.
  • Work with independent accessibility consultants as needed.
  • Incorporate accessibility into all new website designs, templates, and content updates.

Our accessibility coordinator is responsible for monitoring compliance and implementing improvements across RoofingContractors.org and affiliated properties.
