Roofing involves complex and difficult problems, particularly in today's constantly changing construction environment. Solving these problems require specialized knowledge and experience.
There have been unprecedented, disruptive changes in the roofing industry in the past quarter-century. Many untested, unproven, and potentially-unsafe roofing systems were developed and brought into the market. As a result, there are many unsound roofs.
These problems are not going unnoticed. The American Institute of Architects Newsletter has urged architects to use roofing specialists.
When choosing a roofing consultant, there are a number of factors to consider:
Independence. A consultant must be independent to identify the best solution to the specific problems of a specific building. Financial ties to manufacturers can lead to pressure to push the most profitable rather than the most effective and called-for solution. ROOFTECH is independent.
Certification. It is a Class A misdemeanor to perform public work in excess of $8,000 without an engineer. Most reroofing projects fall within this category. Roof Design is an Architectural Engineering function, requiring the experience and training of architects and engineers licensed by the State of Texas, as well as the specific roofing experience and training reflected by certifications such as Registered Roof Consultant (awarded by the Roof Consultant Institute). ROOFTECH has exceptionally qualified staff.
Organization. The best site analysis and testing in the world will not help if the findings are not communicated to the architects and engineers who will redesign the roof. The best design in the world will not help if the contractors do not follow its specifications. ROOFTECH has well-coordinated teams who cooperate for the good of our clients. By specializing in roofing and offering a full suite of services that guide a client through every stage of the roofing project, we believe ROOFTECH has developed the best roof consulting service available.
If you have a roofing project, you need a roofing consultant—and ROOFTECH is your best choice.
