Slate
Roof Consulting Services
Prices vary according to a number of different
factors such as the size of the roof(s), location, number
of site visits required, etc. A large project ($1 million)
can require 1 or 2% of the project cost in consulting fees.
Medium size projects ($1/2 million or less) can require 5%
of the project cost in consulting fees. Smaller projects
requiring site visits, such as private residences, storm
damage assessments, restoration evaluations, etc.,
cost approximately $4,000.00 for a site visit, roof survey
and conditions report with potential follow-up services such
as contractor screening, proposal review, etc.
The current rate for expert witness testimony,
depositions, or any consulting work outside northwestern
Pennsylvania, by Joseph Jenkins is $250.00/hr plus expenses.
Office consulting rates (rendered from our office in western
Pennsylvania) are $125.00/hr plus expenses. "Lost time" rates
(i.e. travel time etc.,) are $62.50/hr from 8 am to 5 pm
on work days while traveling, waiting for meetings, or otherwise
losing work time on behalf of the client.
We provide slate roof consulting services for new traditional
slate roof installations as well as for existing slate roofs,
no matter what age. Our services are utilized by insurance
companies, architectural firms, property owners, law firms,
general contractors and roofing contractors, among others.
Our services are provided in five basic ways:
1) Email Consultations:
At times our clients will want us to review photos and information
about a specific roof, then offer opinions and/or advice
regarding the roof or its restoration, repair or installation.
We can often provide this service via email, which is relatively
quick and inexpensive.
2) Mail Consultations: In
the event that email is not sufficient because a written,
letterhead document is required from us for a specific purpose,
then a mail consultation will often suffice.
3) Remote Technical Support: We
provide email, phone, mail and fax support for ongoing slate
roofing projects when no site visit is required.
4) Site Visits: We must visit
a slate roof on-site in order to conduct a roof survey and
prepare a conditions report. This service is necessary when
a detailed report on the current conditions of a slate roof
is needed.
5) Forensic Services: We offer expert witness services.
