Frequently Asked Questions
What types of thermal and moisture protection do you estimate?
We cover a wide range, including thermal insulation (batt, rigid, spray, loose-fill), waterproofing (sheet, fluid-applied), roofing systems (shingle, metal, membrane), sealants, firestopping, vapor barriers, and more for both residential and commercial projects.
How do your estimates ensure energy efficiency compliance?
Our estimators are well-versed in energy codes and standards. We meticulously quantify insulation materials by R-value and application method to ensure your designs meet or exceed required energy performance standards, contributing to LEED or other certifications.
Can you provide estimates for specialized roofing systems?
Yes, we provide estimates for various roofing systems, including steep slope (asphalt, metal, slate), low slope (TPO, EPDM, PVC), built-up roofing, modified bitumen, and green roofs. We account for all components from decking to flashing.
What is the turnaround time for a thermal & moisture estimate?
Most thermal & moisture protection estimates are delivered within 24-72 hours. For extensive or complex projects, we will provide a clear timeline upon review of your plans and specifications.
Do your estimates help prevent moisture damage?
Absolutely. Our detailed takeoffs for waterproofing, damp proofing, and vapor barriers help ensure all critical areas are covered. Accurate estimates lead to proper material procurement and installation, significantly reducing the risk of moisture intrusion, mold, and structural damage.
