Be Informed, Avoid Costly Repairs

A recent study found that building owners and facility managers who adopt a "repair and react" strategy as opposed to "planning and maintaining" can anticipate spending 60–70% more on roofing expenditures. Moreover, with routine inspections and maintenance, the typical lifespan of a roof increases from 13 to 21 years.

I’ve worked with Ron on several different projects from multi-family housing to commercial properties. He is an absolute professional in his work, and provides an in depth and comprehensive analysis each time.  He has found issues that other inspectors would have easily missed, include some subtle issues that could have costed hundreds of thousands of dollars to remediate. I’d work with him on future properties and highly recommend his work.
