John Jensen has worked in the roofing industry since 1982. He founded Jensen Roofing in 1988, and as a contractor, he has always specialized in tile roofing. Lisa joined the company in 2004, after a 15 year career in software sales and service. Together we formed Jensen Companies, with a focus on training and consulting in the tile roofing industry. In 2024 we re-branded to Jensen Roofing Training, matching our company name with what we do.
John and Lisa are both Qualified Trainers thru the National Roofing Contractor’s Association (NRCA), and hold certifications with the Tile Roofing Industry (TRI) Alliance.
For 15 years we managed the TRI training programs and provided training to thousands of contractors, inspectors and consultants who work with tile roofing.
In 2022, Ludowici asked us to help refine and teach their contractor training program. After launching the first Ludowici FIT class in February of 2023, we are now managing the FIT program and continue to teach the 2-day classes in Dallas, TX and New Lexington, OH.
In June of 2023, we added the role of independent sales representative for Ludowici in Washington, Oregon, Western Idaho and British Columbia.
John is a Certified Roof Inspector with Haag Engineering, the leader in residential roof damage assessment. He has also been deemed an “expert witness” in a legal proceeding, related to roofing.
