Services
Roof Design
We create customized roofing solutions tailored to each building's specific requirements. Our engineers design systems using 12+ different materials including metal retrofit, spray foam, and single-ply membranes. Each design incorporates structural considerations, climate factors, and long-term performance metrics to ensure optimal protection and cost-effectiveness for commercial properties.
Roof Evaluations
Our consultants conduct comprehensive assessments of existing roofing systems to identify vulnerabilities and recommend solutions. Using advanced diagnostic techniques, we evaluate material condition, structural integrity, and performance history. Clients receive detailed reports with prioritized repair recommendations and lifecycle projections to inform maintenance planning and budgeting.
Project Supervision
We provide continuous monitoring of roofing installations to ensure compliance with specifications. Our team verifies material quality, workmanship standards, and safety protocols throughout the construction process. Regular progress reports and issue resolution services help maintain project timelines while guaranteeing final installations meet design requirements and industry standards.
Roof Investigations
When leaks or failures occur, our experts conduct forensic analysis to determine root causes. We examine installation defects, material degradation, and design inadequacies through field testing and laboratory analysis. Clients receive actionable reports identifying failure mechanisms and recommending corrective measures to prevent recurrence and extend roof system longevity.
Quality Assurance
Our consultants implement rigorous quality control programs for roofing projects. We verify material specifications, contractor qualifications, and installation methods against industry standards.

Report
I have worked with Bob Varner of Technology Associates for 15 years. Bob is very knowledgeable, and professional, and has help several of my Condominium communities problem solve, and plan their roof replacement programs. I highly recommend Bob to solve new construction defects and provide engineering services for replacement projects.
