The Paradigm Shift
Inside the Inspection Revolution Reshaping Roofing Nationwide By Les Watrous
This book blends memoir and industry blueprint to tell the true story of how a lifetime of roof inspections led to the creation of a national movement that is transforming the roofing industry.
It reveals the origin, evolution, and impact of the NRCIA, the LeakFREE® certification model, and the standardized processes that reshaped how real estate professionals, insurance carriers, and contractors understand roof integrity and risk.
Through personal stories, hard lessons, and field-tested systems, the book shows how roof inspectors can elevate their craft, increase trust, minimize liability, and build thriving, professional businesses.
At its core, it’s the story of a man, an idea, and the revolution that followed.
