Roof Review & Design | the Adkins Association inc. Architects

We provide a Certified/Registered Roof Observer for all our projects and we are members of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA).

Roofs come in many types, sizes, durability, and resilience. Because of this, their life spans and the costs incurred during their life cycles will also vary greatly. Many factors will influence your choice of a roof on new and existing facilities, including:

Your Business Plan
Life Expectancy
Cost
Maintenance
Weight Allowance
Traffic and Abuse
Life Cycle Cost
Reflectance

For Example, Compare

The following scenarios have very different roofing and design needs:

A business/use plan that requires a major remodel in 15 years
A public institution with limited public funds in 50-year cycles

Roof Review

The key to a proven roof system is the quality of services provided in the design, delivery, and construction. Therefore, many of our clients wish to create an ongoing review of their roofs for quality, leak control, and life span assessment.

Infrared Roof Scans

Infrared roof scans are provided during semi-annual or annual roof inspections along with yearly forecasted maintenance and roof replacement budgets recommendations. It is as effective for the limited budget owner as for large clients with massive real estate portfolios.
