A Wichita-area roofing contractor has been fined and banned from performing any further work in the region after a series of consumer complaints and an investigation found the company had repeatedly performed substandard work, failed to complete jobs, and misled customers.

Why it matters

This case highlights the importance of consumer protections and licensing requirements for home improvement contractors, as well as the need for stronger oversight to prevent unscrupulous operators from taking advantage of homeowners.

The details

The Kansas Attorney General's office levied a $75,000 fine against Midwest Roofing and banned the company from operating in the state for the next five years. Investigators found numerous instances where Midwest Roofing accepted payments from customers but failed to complete the agreed-upon work or left roofs in a shoddy, unsafe condition.

  • On February 1, 2026, the Kansas Attorney General's office announced the enforcement action against Midwest Roofing.
  • The ban on Midwest Roofing doing any further work in Kansas will last until February 1, 2031.
