Testimonials from Certified Installers
“The TRI installer certification program was packed with useful information, and offered a comprehensive understanding of the tile roof installation manual. The size of the classroom was small enough to offer an intimate setting, allowing for class participation. Many useful questions were posed and addressed.”
“Participants came from all over the country, and being able to share different installation techniques and applications was interesting and informative.”
“My company sent several people to the charter class, and I am recommending that even more attend future classes.”
– Statia Winn, Asst. Director of Quality Assurance, Mayer Roofing, Inc., Escondido, Calif.
“This training program should be a requirement for all contractors that install roof tile. It benefits the entire industry to have educated installers, superintendents and company owners. I will absolutely send more people from my company through the program.”
“The format of the training was superb—it was the best training course I’ve ever attended in terms of keeping participants engaged and interested the entire time. The quiz show element was especially entertaining – it added some friendly competition and kept us laughing and learning at the same time.”
– Neal Weber III, President, Monarch Roofing Inc., Sacramento, Calif.
“I’ve been a tile roofing contractor for 30 years, and have learned my trade primarily through trial and error. Had this training been available back when I started, I could have saved 20 years of mistakes.”
“This program will not only help contractors install a better roof, but I believe will also save them in litigation. I plan to send my foremen through the program so they can help train the rest of my crew and more effectively oversee day-to-day operations.”
“The cost of the program is miniscule compared to the potential gain that comes out of having more knowledgeable and skilled installers on the job.”
– Gary Martin, GM Roofing & Maintenance, Inc., San Diego, Calif.
“The program helps contractors understand the theory and dynamics of properly installing tile roofs. Installers will stop relying on old adages or ‘that's the way I've always been told to do it’ and begin to rely on the construction details provided by TRI. The result will be more reliable techniques, less call-backs and sound, ‘bullet-proof’ installations.”
“I attended the first program by myself to see if it would be good for my employees. I plan to send them all to the next class.”
– John Pack, President, Seguro Contracting Co., Houston, Texas
"I thought the program was excellent. It was definitely beneficial for me. The training and the information presented was really good. It enabled me to develop my knowledge of the installation process which is great for me as a sales representative. When I go out and talk to customers, it is really helpful to discuss proper installation."
"It’s definitely a good program. It was greatly valuable, especially as I am selling tile roofing. It equipped me with knowledge and the ability to offer installation advice to my customers, which is very beneficial."
"I’ve had a lot of customers ask me about the training, and I recommended going and that they send their crews so that they all know how to properly install the tile products."
– Eric Gibson, Sales Representative, Oldcastle® Westile
"The TRI Installer Certification Program was really helpful to our employees. Even though they had the installation literature, they were in a classroom environment which allowed them to absorb the information much better."
"We’ve sent our sales reps and managers to the program, and it was great. It really helped the sales reps, especially those that didn’t come up through the roofing industry. It gave them a better understanding what they’re selling and the benefits of tile roofing. Our managers were also able to get up-to-date with current information."
"We all need to continue to educate ourselves, and that is the biggest benefit to the program – continuing education for our employees and the industry. We can never overlook that. The more we teach people, the better they’ll be able to do and understand their job."
"We attended the charter class, and it opened the eyes of a lot of people. I definitely recommend the program."
– Rick Hart, Director of Quality Assurance, Mayer Roofing
"I attended the TRI Installer Certification Program, and it was great. The thing I really enjoyed was that in addition to a slide presentation, there were a lot of materials we could look at hands-on and that were used during the presentation. You could touch them and see how they’re supposed to be installed."
"As a consultant, the best thing is the knowledge obtained through the program. The adage “knowledge is power” is true. The program provides the time to get an in-depth education on tile roof systems, how they’re installed, common defects in installation and how to spot them when you’re on a roof system. It’s all very helpful."
"The installers are the people who really benefit from the program as they’re out in the field actually installing the product."
– Darryl Seymour, Consultant, California Building Consultants
"The TRI seminar was a great experience. From owners to superintendents to foremen, all will gain knowledge and understanding of the installation manual."
– Scott Burdic, General Superintendent, Los Angeles and Orange Counties,DePhino Roofing
