Working with an independent roofing consultant is the most reliable way to ensure that the correct materials and contractor are chosen for each job specific roofing and waterproofing project.

Our consultants visit the project site to investigate the existing conditions and document the findings with photographs. When necessary, core samples are taken and sent to a laboratory where they are tested for asbestos content. We then compile all information to provide our client with a detailed report of all facets of the existing conditions. We discuss our evaluation with the Architect and/or the Owner; to develop a design analysis and budget plan for the recommended roofing/waterproofing system. The objective is made clear from the beginning to assure you will get the watertight system you need. You will receive recommendations and budgets that are prioritized by the urgency of the work required, thus making decisions easier.
