Thompson & Lichtner will examine the exterior façade of your property and its elements, then provide you with a detailed report listing any potential or existing issues found, including advice regarding the order of importance and formulate a plan of approach to repairs. Knowledge is key: know what you own and manage.

Preventive Maintenance Consulting

The longer repairs are not addressed, the greater the cost to repair them. Save yourself money, time, and future headaches with preventive maintenance. Thompson & Lichtner professionals will examine roof, windows, and the exterior façade of your building for water, air leakage, and/or heat loss potential, then provide a report with findings and a timeline of repairs. Building health and safety depend upon timely maintenance.

Walk Through

Prior to repairs we meet with your contractors onsite and introduce them to the repair requirements and provide you with a report detailing the walk through.

Building Façade Peer Reviews/Specifications Analyses

Our professionals review drawings and specifications that others have prepared for you to ensure that all aspects of your job are addressed. Results are documented in a Peer Review/Specifications Analysis Report.
