Visual Roof Surveys - Roof data collected from the survey team is processed through our computer. Mac Brady then rates the roofing system via regression analysis derived from the US Army Corps of Engineers' ROOFER ® Program and on performance characteristics of actual roofing systems in our extensive database. Mac Brady's survey will:
Identify the components of the roofing system
Identify the condition of the roofing system
Identify preventive maintenance for the roof
Identify the budget figures for the roofing system
Non Destructive Analysis (NDE) - Mac Brady performs the appropriate radioscopic, infrared, or electrical capacitance moisture testing procedures on each roof area. Regardless of the chosen procedure, each is confirmed by gravimetric analyses of the components of the roofing system. Our Analyses will:
Determine the areas of wet insulation in the roof
Determine the reasons for premature failure
Determine cost effectiveness of repair vs. replacement
Bidding Administration - Project Specifications are written in CSI format by trained and experienced professionals in order to provide for the most complete roofing project in the most cost-effective manner. Based upon a thorough understanding of the site conditions. Mac Brady's specifications will:
Assure the best roofing for the building
Assure the best price for the roofing system
Assure all contractors are bidding the same system
Contract Administration - Once the contract is awarded, we process the contract documents:
Verify all applications for payment
Verify all change orders submitted, if any
Verify all warranties are issued upon completion
Quality Assurance Observation - The NRCA recommends the best way to ensure a quality-roofing project is to provide an independent full-time Quality Assurance Observer (QAO) throughout the roofing project. Our QAO will:
Document the quality of workmanship
Document the quality and quantity of materials
Document the weather conditions
Document the as-built details of the roof system
Mac Brady offers annual warranty roof inspections to ensure a preventive maintenance program is established that maximizes the service life of your roof while reducing routine non-warrantied maintenance cost.

Provide a complete analysis of all types of roofs
Provide a record of all reported roof leaks
Provide warranty repair notifications to manufacturer
Provide documentation of equipment installation
Provide complete budget summary costs
Provide a comprehensive plan for maintenance
