  The success of any roofing or waterproofing system depends on the details. We’ve learned by experience that even the smallest details can dramatically impact the outcome. WJE professionals have an intimate knowledge of a wide range of roofing systems, from historic clay tile to the latest in sustainable green roof designs, and we know the detailing that makes them successful.

As a building owner, you know the importance of a water-tight roof. Leakage, which is often hard to trace, causes damage to your building’s contents and areas of the structure you can’t see. You can rely on WJE to provide cost-effective, durable solutions to your roofing concerns. We are able to select the appropriate roofing and waterproofing systems for every situation to prevent water from getting into roofs, plazas, and underground foundations. By reviewing thousands of system failures, we understand how the roof interfaces with the structure and can address problems that affect not only the roofing system, but the roof deck, roof structure, and walls that tie into the system. Our commitment to your project carries through the construction phase. We work hand-in-hand with the contractor to ensure design concepts are met and your building and its contents are protected from the devastating effects of water.
