Presented by the National Roofing Contractors Association, the Stories of an Extraordinary Industry podcast is meant to enlighten, educate and inspire. From the roof system installers to the manufacturers and everyone in between, the roofing industry is made up of incredibly talented people. This is where we tell their stories.
Family-run businesses are part of what makes the roofing industry so special. In this episode, we profile three multigenerational roofing companies. Running a business with your kids can bring moments of pure joy and moments of complete exasperation, and there are lessons to be learned from these three companies.

An out-of-work roofer from Southern California took matters into his own hands and started his own company. But there was one glaring problem—he could never leave someone with a leaky roof, even if they could not afford to pay. Would his generosity be the downfall of his company as it struggles to make a profit? Or will his actions be a spark that unites the roofing industry around an ambitious goal?

We tell the story of a young man from Deer Park, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati. Growing up, he enjoyed doing small construction projects with his dad, but these would be just fond memories as he headed off to college. This is the story of an unusual journey, which—spoiler alert—leads to the start of a roofing company. He wanted to run his business better, so he joined NRCA, where he asked the right questions and challenged the status quo, putting him on the path to becoming the chairman of the board for the association. This is the story of Nick Sabino.
