I just went through renewing my workers comp. When they saw on my website that I do roof cleaning, they wanted to raise my rate to 38%. this would be on my entire payroll not just the roof cleaning portion.

For those that dropped the $349 over at WCR......
(Preview)
Was it worth it? They're teaching roof cleaning as an add-on for their members. Perhaps the RCIA should reciprocate. (Which explains a number of folks that I see over here. Free country and all..) Just curious if their marketing collateral and the like was valuable for those that are members? T...
