RAES joins the NRCIA preferred partner program

NRCIA has added RAES to its preferred partner program. RAES builds management software and provides consulting for roofing and exterior restoration contractors, with a focus on sales, production and accounting operations.

The reasoning behind the partnership is straightforward. Inspection work creates paperwork, scheduling and follow-up, and a member who cannot keep those moving loses the client relationship long before the roof gives them a reason to.

The problem RAES set out to solve

A roofing company is judged on the whole chain, not on the roof alone. A quote that never gets followed up, a supplier order that goes missing, a subcontractor who does not show: the customer attributes all of it to the company whose name is on the truck. Skill on the roof does not protect a reputation from a breakdown in the office.

Robert Budron founded RAES on the position that the right tools remove a large share of those breakdowns. The company builds personalized systems for contractors rather than a single off-the-shelf product, combining software with consultative business services.

How this fits a member’s workflow

NRCIA members already work inside InspectionPLUS®, the platform where the LeakFREE® Roof Inspection Report is written and where a LeakFREE® Roof Certification is generated and registered. A certificate created anywhere else is not valid.

RAES sits on the business side of that work: the pipeline before the inspection is booked, the production schedule after a repair is approved, and the accounting that follows both. Members running several inspectors, or a company that has added inspection work to an existing service department, tend to feel that pressure earliest.

Members should confirm current terms, pricing and any member benefit directly with RAES.

Accreditation comes before the tooling

Software organizes the work. The accreditation is what makes the work worth organizing. NRCIA programs cover roof inspection through RoofGUARD™, root-cause and expert-witness work through ForensicGUARD™, exterior elevated elements through E3GUARD™, and insurance-related evaluations through DisasterGUARD™.

LeakFREE® is our federally registered trademark. Only NRCIA members can issue a LeakFREE® certification.
