When you’re at the beginning of a building project, it pays to work with an experienced structural engineer. Whether you’re looking to adhere to state building codes, ensure that your building meets your requirements, or just want to be certain that your construction team is living up to your standards, a structural engineer can assist. Able to set criteria for pre-engineered buildings, select suitable materials, and design retrofit modifications, Wharry Engineering can help with a wide range of building, renovation, and construction needs. For over forty years, we’ve worked with clients – both local and national – to ensure that their building processes go off without a hitch.
If you’re replacing your roof – or constructing a new building – you need the help of a firm with experience in roof design, management, and inspection. The primary goal of your roof is to ensure that your building’s contents are protected: both products and personnel. But, an important secondary goal during the building process is longevity. You want a roof that’s going to resist common sources of damage. You want a roof that’s going to stand up to harsh, often unpredictable weather conditions. Most importantly, you want a roof that’s going to last.
When you need the most experienced, knowledgeable engineers in the business for your civil, forensic, or structural engineering project, you owe it to yourself to work with the team at Wharry Engineering. From residential site planning and retrofit modifications to traffic flow analysis and landscaping, we have a proven track record of assisting clients and ensuring the successful completion of their building projects. Whether you’re concerned about the quality of the finished product, the project’s adherence to budget, local or municipal regulations, or long-term energy efficiency, you can count on us to work with you to achieve the results that you need.
If you’re noticing small issues with your roof, there’s no better time to get started on your roof management plan. With the aim of preventing small, correctable issues from growing into massive, costly problems, Wharry Engineering provides the industry’s most comprehensive and detail-oriented roof management services. We know that miniscule – often undetectable – issues with your roof can be the genesis of massively detrimental problems. Whether they’re causing leaks, threatening the roof’s structural integrity, or anything in between, our experienced, time-tested team of roofing experts will work with you to identify potential problems and – more importantly – implement lasting, cost-effective fixes.
When it comes to preventing leaks and extending the lifespan of your roof, ongoing roof maintenance is critical. If you own a property, you’re undoubtedly aware of how difficult it can be to monitor your roof and perform regular upkeep… especially if you’re doing all of the work yourself. From the blistering heat of summer to the bitter cold winds of winter, environmental hazards can wreak havoc on your roof, shearing off shingles, disturbing underlayment, and causing damage that can lead to leaks, mold, and rot. In today’s post, we’re going to discuss how the team at Wharry Engineering can help you get the most out of your roof.
If you’re installing a new roof, it’s essential that you ensure that the job’s done right by hiring a third-party roof construction observation expert to watch over your project. As a building owner, you likely know what went wrong with the roof that you’re replacing: leaks developed, mold and algae formed, insulation failed, or materials broke down. You’ve also probably looked into ways to prevent these failures from occurring in the future. But… you can’t be everywhere all at once!
Scheduling regular roof inspections is a great way to ensure the continued health of your building. With the cold of winter settling in, it’s the time of year where home and business owners start to develop concerns about their roofs. Whether it’s cold air entering through the attic, moisture collecting at joints, or unidentifiable drafts swirling throughout the building, the signs of a damaged roof are even more prevalent during the winter months. As your building’s roof is its first line of defense against the elements, knowing its status is critical. Because of this, we strongly encourage our readers to begin thinking about their next inspection.
Whether you’ve engaged in construction projects before or this is your first time, you owe it to yourself to consult with a professional architect. Able to save you time, money, and heartache, an architect can help you navigate the often-confusing building codes and legal issues inherent to building projects. With all of the considerations you need to make, it can be very easy to overlook something important. An architect can help you stay vigilant but, more importantly, they can work with you to ensure the success – and cost-efficiency – of your project. In this post, we’re going to look at what you stand to gain from employing the aid of a professional architect.
Knowing when you need a roof repair can be tricky, especially if there are no indicators of damage. Often, leaks are not detected until well after they have caused costly damage to your property or products. However, even with leaks that may not be visible at a cursory glance, there are steps that can be taken to identify, isolate and trace them back to their source. At Wharry Engineering, we pride ourselves on taking a methodical approach to locating leaks and, more importantly, an aggressive – and effective – approach to roof maintenance and repair.
If your roof has started showing signs of damage, it may be time for a professional roof assessment. Whether you’re noticing curled shingles, black spots, or rusty sections, it’s essential that you take the steps necessary to understand and – more importantly – address the damage that you’re seeing. Thankfully, Wharry Engineering’s team of educated, knowledgeable experts can help you. With the ability to identify common roofing problems, our team can quickly assess your situation and then work to develop lasting, effective solutions.
