The exterior cladding of a building is it's main aesthetic component. Our desire is to help architects and owners see their aesthetic goals come to fruition without compromising any building performance, and to help them avoid or repair the very common, frustrating and costly problems of water infiltration and condensation. In addition, to provide a building that will see increased longevity and maximum efficiency for our clients is a very rewarding aspect of our business.

Water infiltration and condensation in exterior cladding such as windows, doors, skylights, curtain walls, etc. are continually noted as the number one area of lawsuits for owners and architects. It would greatly benefit an owner to have a building envelope consultant at their disposal.
