Ten minutes with Leighann
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success first and foremost to GOD's grace and guidance. My Christian faith is the foundation of who I am and influences every aspect of my life, from how I lead and serve others to how I approach challenges and opportunities. I believe true success is more than achieving goals; it's about honoring God through integrity, humility, excellence, and genuine care for people. By combining faith with perseverance, continuous learning, and commitment to building meaningful relationships, I've been blessed to grow both personally and professionally- building a career I am proud of.
Additionally, I've always believed that there is room to learn, improve, and become better than I was yesterday. By staying committed to continuous growth, building meaningful relationships, and approaching every opportunity with honesty and professionalism, I've been able to earn the trust of those I serve.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
People buy trust before they buy products*** The best career advice I received was that people buy trust before they buy products. Whether I'm helping a homeowner make a major investment or working with colleagues, I focus on building relationships first. When people know you're honest, knowledgeable, and genuinely looking out for their best interest, everything else follows.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
To every young woman considering a career in the construction roofing industry: Don't be intimidated by what you don't know today. Knowledge can be learned, skills can be developed, and confidence grows with experience. Stay curious, ask questions, work with integrity, and let your professionalism speak louder than stereotypes. The industry needs more leaders who are willing to educate, collaborate, and raise the standard-and your perspective can help shape its future.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
I believe the biggest opportunity in the roofing industry is raising the standard of professionalism. Homeowners deserve more than a quote dash they deserve education, transparency, and a trusted advisor who helps them make informed decisions. As technology advances the industry continues to evolve, the companies that prioritize integrity, communication, and long term relationships will stand apart. My goal is to contribute to that positive change by helping homeowners protect their homes while building trust within the communities I serve.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I believe influence isn't measured by Titles- its measured by the positive impact you leave on others. I strive to lead with integrity, serve with compassion, continue learning every day, and build relationships founded on trust. My goal is to help people make confident decisions while growing into the best version of myself along the way.
