CEO Scores a Perfect 100 on TRIA Manual Certification

By Cass Jacoby.  

Certification is the key to elevating the industry; we should all follow Michelle Kettering’s lead and never stop expanding our skills.  

TRIA Manual Certification is designed for entry-level and experienced roofers alike to expand their skills into tile. The certification covers all of the code requirements for the installation of tile roofs and is given to an individual who passes a 50 question, open book test on the manual.  

LTD Exteriors Inc. CEO Michelle Kettering scored 100% on her TRIA Manual Certification. Michelle is the founder of LTD Exteriors Inc. and started in the construction industry fresh out of high school, working with her husband and brother-in-law in their roofing business. In addition to being the CEO of LTD Exteriors Inc., Michelle is a part of National Women in Roofing (NWiR), and according to Tile Roof Training, a marketing genius.  

Her North Carolina-based company specializes in slate and tile roofs, especially for historic homes. They also perform a variety of roofing services including residential roofing, repairs, gutters and new construction roofing. It only makes sense that Michelle would certify her knowledge through TRIA and ensure she was up to date on codes and best practices.  

Michelle’s perfect scoring in her TRIA Manual Certification is a testament to how the roofing industry rewards those who continue to learn and grow their skills. Certification is not only a great way to show that your company is qualified, but is a great way to elevate the industry as a whole.  

We congratulate Michelle on her 100% score and her certification. Thanks for showing us how it is done Michelle!
