Under existing law, a person who has entered into a written contract with a residential roofing contractor to provide goods or services to be paid from the proceeds of a property and casualty insurance policy is allowed to cancel the contract within 10 business days after the contract has been entered into if the insured has received written notice from the insurer that all or part of the claim is not a covered loss under the insurance policy.
