Get the most out of every roof, and stop replacing them before their time.
For most building owners, the roof is the single biggest building envelope investment they'll ever make. It's also a decision that's often made under pressure, with the wrong information, and without a trusted advisor.
We are that advisor. Independent. Credentialed. Plain-spoken. With offices in Boston, Atlanta, and Minneapolis serving owners across the East and Midwest.
Almost every dollar wasted on a roof traces back to one of these. None of them are technical mysteries — they're institutional ones, which is why they keep happening.
Leaks get patched. Symptoms get treated. Nobody steps back to ask what's actually causing the failure or whether targeted intervention now would buy years on the back end. The roof drifts toward replacement a decade earlier than it had to — and the "savings" from just patching it get spent on a roof that wasn't due yet.
Plenty of roofs that get replaced didn't need to be. A targeted rehabilitation (recover, restoration coating, partial replacement) can often buy another decade-plus at a fraction of the cost. But it takes someone who can tell the difference. Without that, owners default to replace, taking on unnecessary risk and throwing away a lot of useful service life with the old roofing.
When replacement is the right call, a different set of failures takes over: the wrong system gets selected, the install doesn't get watched, the warranty papers over what nobody bothered to check. The new roof doesn't reach its design life either, and the cycle starts over sooner than it had to.
Most clients call us with a specific problem: a leak, a looming replacement, a portfolio nobody's mapped. We're good at solving those one-offs, but the real magic is in a holistic lifecycle approach.
Visual and diagnostic inspection. Documented condition, remaining service life, photos, and prioritized repair recommendations — written for the people who actually have to act on them.
Roof-by-roof, building-by-building. 5-, 10-, and 20-year capital plans tied to your operating budget cycle. Board-ready visuals and the rationale to defend them.
Construction documents, specifications, and bid support. We design the work the way it should be built — then help you find the right contractor at the right price.
The "someone watching" piece. Pre-installation meetings, regular site observation, daily report tracking, punch lists, and final closeout. The single highest-leverage thing an owner can do for roof longevity.
Fastener pull testing, infrared moisture surveys, flood testing, ASTM-standard performance verification. The receipts that prove the roof is built the way it was supposed to be.
If you're responsible for a big roof, we're here to help you succeed.
Universities, school districts, healthcare systems, government, religious organizations, and multifamily owners. Anyone holding a portfolio of buildings for the long haul who needs a roof partner who plays the long game too.
You have a roof problem, a roof project, or a roof you don't trust, and you want a second opinion from someone who isn't trying to sell you a roof.
Property managers, owner's representatives, family offices, and consultants advising owners. We're the technical depth behind your strategic advice.
We're your trusted advisor. No conflicts of interest here.
We don't sell roofs, take referral fees, or carry exclusive roofer relationships.
Registered Roof Consultants (RRC) and Registered Roof Observers (RRO) on the team. These are the most respected and well-established roof consulting credentials in the industry.
Offices in Boston, Atlanta, and Minneapolis means we know the climate, the codes, and the local roofing labor market where your roofs actually sit.
Deliverables created for the people who actually use them — contractors, facility directors, business managers, and boards — not for other consultants.
Your drawings are wonderfully clear.— Judy Oates (Condo Trustee)
