Roof Consulting
Roofing can be complicated – especially when it comes to multi-family residences, commercial spaces and industrial facilities. There are plenty of options, along with plenty of ways to go wrong. That’s why it pays to have someone one your side to walk you through the process.
As qualified roofing consultants, we work closely with building owners and property managers to help them make key decisions about their roof before the work begins and throughout the entirety of the project. Whether you require a brand-new roof or a complex maintenance plan, our roof consulting team will be there with you from the early days of the project to the finish line.
Roof Consulting Services
As roof consults, we rely on a broad range of skills and experience from engineers to architects and skillful roofers. We know what it takes to solve complex construction problems – and with over 100 years of combine experience, we’ve got the resumé to back it up. Here are some of the roof consulting services we offer:
Before any building can begin, it’s important to conduct a thorough roof assessment that scans for moisture, leaks, and other damage. This is the foundational stage of any roofing project. From here, our roofing consultants can help you make informed decisions about future developments, including structural changes, salvaging old material, and retrofitting.
Moisture Scans
One of the most vital parts of a roof assessment is the moisture survey. Moisture is the nemesis of any roofing project, which when not dealt with properly can cause rot, mold, and insects to move in. We use advanced imaging tech and manual moisture scanners to access hard-to-reach places, noting moisture levels in various areas. We will also probe samples of trouble areas to investigate the extent of the damage and determine if condensation is a threat.
Another piece of the moisture survey involves scanning for leaks or parts of your roof that have a strong leak potential. This stage will be key in determining whether a new roof is necessary along with what can be salvaged.
Roof Retrofitting
Roof retrofitting typically involves making additions to your existing roof or installing a new roof on top of your existing roof. As long as the existing roof has been assessed in good condition, this option will be on the cost-effective side, also working to increase sturdiness, safety, and curb appeal.
One of the key considerations to make when retrofitting is the existing mechanical systems, ventilation and other infrastructure. Everything will need to be installed appropriately with precise planning to ensure seamless operation.
Roof Design & Specs
Whether you’re looking for an upgrade, retrofitting or an entirely new roof, we’ll work with you closely to design your project within your budget. It all starts with the physical design of your roof. From there, we’ll be able to help you decide which type of deck, insulation and covering to use, along with which manufacturers to buy from.
Quality Assurance
Our roof consultants can also provide quality assurance services to assess new construction and replacements or older buildings with aging roofs. Quality assurance can determine whether things have been done correctly, if a roof needs to be replaced or upgraded, and if new construction is up to standard.
