a property and casualty insurance policy and who subsequently
receives written notice from the insurer that all or part of the
claim or contract is not a covered loss under the policy may
cancel the contract prior to midnight on the fifth business day
after the insured has received the written notice of the denial
of coverage. (2)
This section applies to the following persons
performing goods or services related to a roofing system:
(a)
a licensed residential builder;

a registered residential specialty contractor; and

business of residential building or residential specialty
contracting without first having registered with the commission
or procured a license from the commission.
