Get Specifications to Do-It-Yourself

THIS SITE PROVIDES TRUE, UNBIASED INFORMATION. In the roofing industry that is rare, so be prepared for outspoken, controversial information. All positions taken are those of Bruce Wittenbaum, based on his knowledge and experience. Every building and home has a roof, so owners, managers, and maintenance people must deal with roofs. Roof-consultant.com has the objective of helping deal with roofs. This site is solely created, run by, and for Bruce Wittenbaum, who has been a consultant for over twenty years. The site has documents (intellectual property) which are copyrighted-©-declared/protected. The items are for sale for your use, but are not to be used for your profit or income. All rights are reserved. As a roofing/waterproofing consultant, Bruce does not sell any roofing products (membranes, nails, fasteners, insulation…), nor does he install or repair roofs. Bruce is not a roof/roofing/waterproofing contractor.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, if used properly; that can mean saving or not wasting money. The Better Business Bureau puts roofing work into the category of "Home Improvement." This classification embodies a major segment of complaints and problems. F. M. Global (like U. L.) has documented that specification and execution failures are the cause of roughly 60% of roof loss claims against perils such as hail, wind, and fire. Most of Bruce's work is on commercial-industrial property, either for private or public owners. However, this site is geared toward residential homeowners also, who, in the past, could not justify the use of a roofing expert. All types of roofing are/will be covered; —Low Slope; Built-Up-Roof (BUR), Modified Bitumen (MB); Single Ply Roofs - EPDM, PVC, EIP, TPO, KEE, CPE, CSPE, NBR, PIB; Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF); Asphalt Shingles, Roll Roofing; Metal Roof Panels – Standing Seam, Architectural Metal Panels, Structural Metal Panels, Composite Metal Panels; All Metals; — Copper, Aluminum, stainless steel, GALVALUME, Tern-Coated, Galvanized; Steep Slope Shingles of slate, metal, tile, asphalt, or plastic composite; Coatings of Cement, Acrylic, Polyvinylydine Fluoride, HYPALON©, asphalt, coal-tar-pitch, silicone rubber, polyurea; Ballasted Roofs; Mechanically Attached Roofs, Adhered Roofs; ETC).
