COMMERCIAL ROOFING EXPERT
COMMERCIAL ROOFING EXPERTISE YOU CAN COUNT ON
MEET THE EXPERT - Greg Farris RRO / CABS / IRMS
As a dedicated roof, walls & enclosure professional of 25 years, my top priority is to build a trusting relationship with our clients by working closely with them to represent their best interests. I understand the importance of proper planning, budgeting, and maintenance when it comes to extending the life of the roof & enclosure systems. This is why I work with my clients to create comprehensive assessment/budgeting plans that keep their buildings in top condition.
When it's time for a new roof, my expertise in designing plans and specifications using high-performing roof systems and bringing in qualified contractors to bid on the project ensures that our clients receive reliable and cost-effective solutions.
HOW MY COMMERCIAL ROOFING EXPERTISE CAN HELP YOU
Roof, Walls & Enclosure Evaluation
Understanding the condition of your roof, walls, and enclosure systems is key to avoiding costly surprises and keeping your building performing at its best. With my experience in commercial roofing and waterproofing, I provide detailed condition assessments that give you a clear picture of what’s working and what needs attention.
Here’s how I can help:
-
Condition Reports – I evaluate your roof and enclosure to identify existing issues and potential risks.
-
Budget Planning – I help you forecast costs for repairs, maintenance, or replacement so that you can plan ahead.
-
Preventative Maintenance Plans – A solid plan keeps your roofing and waterproofing systems performing longer, reducing unexpected expenses.
A proactive approach saves you time, money, and frustration. I’m here to help you make informed decisions and protect your investment.
Existing Building Project Consulting
Managing a commercial roofing or enclosure project takes more than just hiring a contractor - it requires experience, oversight, and a clear plan to keep things moving smoothly. I help building owners, facility managers, and project teams navigate the process from bidding to closeout, giving you quality results.
I provide:
-
Bidding & Contractor Selection – Helping you choose the right team for the job.
-
Plan & Specification Creation – Making sure all project details are clear and actionable.
-
Contract & Conflict Resolution – Assisting with agreements and addressing issues before they become bigger problems.
-
Quality Assurance – Monitoring progress to ensure the project meets the right standards from start to finish.
With 25+ years in the industry, I know what to look for and how to avoid costly missteps. My role is to advocate for roofing systems that are in your best interests and keep your project on track.
New Construction Project Consulting for Owners, GCs, & Architects
A well-built commercial roof and enclosure start long before installation begins. Whether you’re an owner, general contractor, or architect, I work alongside your team to review plans, specifications, and materials, helping prevent issues that could lead to failures down the road.
Here’s what I offer:
-
Plan & Spec Review – Identifying potential concerns before construction starts.
-
Submittal Review – Ensuring materials and methods align with project requirements.
-
Quality Assurance Inspections – Providing on-site evaluations to confirm correct installation.
A poorly designed or installed system can lead to premature failure and expensive repairs. My job is to make sure your roofing and waterproofing hold up for the long haul.
Roof Moisture Inspection & Detection
Water is one of the biggest threats to a building’s integrity. Leaks and moisture intrusion can go undetected for months or even years, causing hidden damage that’s expensive to fix. I provide thorough moisture inspection and detection services to help you identify and address problems before they escalate.
Here’s how I help:
-
Leak Investigation – Pinpointing active and hidden leaks in roofs, walls, and waterproofing systems.
-
Infrared & Moisture Testing – Using advanced tools to detect trapped moisture.
-
Repair & Remediation Planning – Helping you develop a strategy to stop leaks and prevent future damage.
If you’re dealing with unexplained water issues or suspect moisture intrusion, let’s talk. Early detection can save you from costly repairs and replacements.
Consulting For Commercial Roofing Contractors
Running a commercial roofing business takes more than technical skills—you need strong operations, efficient processes, and a plan for long-term growth. With years of experience in owning and operating commercial roofing and waterproofing businesses, I provide operations consulting to help roofing contractors improve their sales, service, and project management.
I assist with:
-
Sales & Estimating – Helping you refine your bidding process for better project acquisition.
-
Service & Maintenance Programs – Developing structured maintenance plans that create recurring revenue and long-term client relationships.
-
Project Management – Streamlining workflows to improve job site efficiency and keep projects on time and within budget.
-
Quality Control & Assurance – Implement strategies to reduce errors, minimize callbacks, and enhance workmanship.
-
Team Development & Training – Improving operational consistency by strengthening leadership, crew coordination, and customer communication.
Whether you’re looking to optimize your processes, expand your service offerings, or strengthen your business model, I bring real-world experience to help you build a more efficient and profitable commercial roofing company. Let’s talk about how I can help your business grow.
