Independent Construction Consulting
On-site walkthrough to assess the work, answer your questions, and explain what you're seeing so you understand your options. Get your project steered in the right direction before contractors start.
A third-party evaluation of the roof system focused on the details that most often cause leaks or early failure— materials, flashings, transitions, penetrations, drainage, and visible workmanship issues. You'll receive clear findings and practical next steps based on what can be observed and verified.
If you're planning to change your home's layout—removing walls, adding openings, or altering the roofline—I'll evaluate what's structurally possible, identify load-bearing elements, and design proper support solutions so you know exactly what's required before contractors start.
A focused, photo-documented visual inspection of accessible attic and crawlspace areas for indicators of wood-destroying insect activity (including termites). You'll get clear notes on what I'm seeing, what it may mean, and the most practical next steps—including when it's time to bring in a licensed pest professional for diagnosis or treatment.
If you have one or more proposals and you’re not sure what you’re actually getting, I’ll review the scope, explain what matters, and flag gaps or unclear items. The goal is helping you make an informed decision before you sign.
You hire the contractor — I help verify the work is tracking to the agreed scope and solid building practice. This is especially helpful on higher-dollar jobs, complex roof details, or when you can’t be onsite to monitor progress closely.
A measured layout of your home or project area to support planning, pricing, and communication. It’s a clean way to get everyone working from the same dimensions and existing conditions.
If you’re dealing with storm impacts, I’ll help document damage clearly and organize the information so it’s easier to communicate with your contractor and adjuster. When repairs are needed, we can also provide repair estimates you can submit to the insurance company.
When a problem is hidden, guessing gets expensive. We use a moisture meter to check suspect areas where water intrusion commonly shows up, and thermal imaging to help identify temperature inconsistencies that can point to air leaks, insulation gaps, or areas leaking heated/cooled air.
For the “something isn’t right” moments: framing concerns, water entry, trim/details, deck/porch questions, and general residential construction guidance.
