SUMMARY:
With more than 30 years of experience in various project phases for new construction and re-roofing throughout the United States, Clayton McKeown has first hand knowledge of proper roofing applications. This knowledge stems from 16 years of active participation installing built-up and torch applied modified bitumen systems, coal tar pitch, waterproofing systems, as well as, various forms of steep slope roofing materials such as, tile, shake, composition and wood shingles.
With experience in residential as well as commercial and industrial buildings, Mr. McKeown has a sharp sense for determining cause, remedy and corrective measures of water intrusion problems and roof applications and products. He believes that this type of experience can only be gained with actual on-the job applying of roof applications of various types.
For the past 14 years he has worked as a consultant investigating roofing analysis, designing roof systems, providing roof management services, such as: pre-bid conferences, final inspections and expert testimony. Mr. McKeown has provided expert witness investigation testimony for both plaintiffs and defense in numerous cases.
