Independent roof consultants who review your roofs, work with your team, and design roof systems that perform and pay for themselves. For owners of commercial buildings and the roofing companies who serve them.
See what we do Book a roof review
An operator's view of specification, bidding, and what actually fails
Your roofs are among the most expensive systems you own and the least visible until they fail. We give you an operator's read on their condition, a plan for each one, and a specification and bid process that gets you the right system at a fair price.
You have crews and customers but not always the design, estimating, or service structure that wins the better work. We work with your team to build the technical and commercial discipline that lets you compete for and keep portfolio accounts.
A high-performing roof is not the most expensive one. It is the system that fits the building, the climate, the budget, and the plan for the property, installed by a contractor who was selected on more than just sticker price, and maintained so it reaches its design life. We work on all four.
A condition assessment of every roof in the portfolio and a plan that tells you what to repair, what to replace, and when.
The right system for each building, written into a specification that contractors can bid on evenly, and a bid process that compares them properly.
A maintenance program built around the actual roofs, so small problems stay small and the roof reaches its design life.
Most roofs we review are not ready to be replaced. The point of an independent review is knowing which ones are.
Manufacturer's rep
No product to sell
We are not paid by a membrane maker. The system we recommend is the one that fits the building, and we will say when a repair is the better answer than a reroof.
Contractor's estimate
An owner's-side read
A contractor's proposal is a sales document. We give you a specification and a leveled comparison so every bid is for the same roof.
Inspection report
A plan and a number
A condition report tells you what is wrong. We tell you what to do about it, in what order, and what it should cost.
Engineering firm
Operators who have installed roofs
Our partners have run commercial roofing crews and departments. We know what a detail costs to build and what fails first.
Every engagement starts on the roof. What happens next depends on what we find and what you are trying to do with the property.
First
We walk every roof in scope, document condition, and rank them by risk and remaining life.
One to three weeks, depending on portfolio size
Then
A capital and maintenance plan for the portfolio with budgets by year and a recommended system for each roof that needs work.
Delivered as a working document, not a report
When work is needed
We write the specification, qualify contractors, level the bids, and observe the installation through close-out.
Per project
Ongoing
A maintenance program and annual review keep the plan current and the roofs on track for their design life.
Annual, retained
Start with a single roof or a whole portfolio. Roofing companies engage on the same terms for the buildings they serve, or for their own operation.
A condition assessment and plan for one building or every building you own, with a clear repair, replace, or maintain recommendation for each.
For owners who need to know what they have before they budget
Full owner's-side support for a reroof or major repair, from system selection through installation close-out.
For owners with a reroof ahead and roofing companies who want a spec-driven bid
We become the roof department you do not have: plan kept current, maintenance managed, projects run, and one point of contact for every roof.
For owners and managers with a portfolio, and roofing companies building a service operation
One page per roof, one page for the portfolio, kept current. Condition, remaining life, planned work, and budget, so the roof line in your capital plan is a number you can explain.
Tanara's partners have installed, serviced, and managed commercial roofs, and built the departments that do it inside roofing platforms. We know what a detail costs to build, which systems fail first in which climates, and what a contractor's number should look like.
That is why our recommendations come with a cost, a sequence, and a contractor's-eye view of whether the work will actually get done right.
No. We do not install roofs and we do not sell products. We work on the owner's side of the table, or alongside a roofing company's team, to get the right system specified, bid, installed, and maintained.
Only if that is the right answer. A large share of the roofs we review are candidates for repair or a better maintenance program rather than a reroof, and saying so is the point of an independent review.
A good contractor is an asset, and we work with them. What we add is a specification so their proposal is for a defined roof, a comparison if you want one, and observation during installation so the warranty holds. Most contractors prefer working to a clear spec.
Two ways. On projects, we bring a specification and a level playing field, which favors contractors who do the work right. For the company itself, we help build the estimating, design, and service discipline that wins portfolio accounts, the same work we do inside roofing platforms.
Yes. Reviews are done on the roof, so we travel. For portfolios spread across regions we plan the survey in one pass and manage projects remotely with local observation.
Sixty minutes with your facilities or leadership team. Bring the roof you are most worried about, or the one you are about to spend money on, and we will give you an operator's read on it. No deck, no pitch.
