Project Examples
A sample of the work we've done for clients across all four sectors.
Avoided Premature $800K Roof Replacement
A property management group was told by their roofing contractor that a 12-year-old commercial membrane roof needed full replacement — an $800,000 project.
Keener Consulting performed an independent condition assessment, including core cuts and moisture scanning, to evaluate the roof's actual condition.
The assessment found the roof had 8–10 years of remaining service life with $45,000 in targeted repairs. The owner saved over $750,000 and avoided unnecessary disruption to tenants.
Insurance Claim Recovery After Hail Event
A homeowner's insurance claim for hail damage was denied after the insurer's adjuster found insufficient damage to warrant replacement.
Keener Consulting conducted an independent forensic inspection, documenting hail impact patterns, granule loss, and functional damage with detailed photographic evidence.
The independent report supported a successful appeal. The homeowner received a full roof replacement covered by their insurance policy.
10-Year Capital Plan for Military Installation
A DoD facility manager needed a defensible, long-range capital plan for 22 buildings across a military installation to support budget requests.
Keener Consulting inspected all 22 roof systems, assessed remaining service life, and developed a prioritized 10-year replacement and maintenance schedule with cost projections.
The capital plan was accepted by facility leadership and used to secure funding for the first three years of the program.
Leak Source Identified After Years of Failed Repairs
A university campus building had experienced recurring leaks for three years. Multiple contractors had attempted repairs without success.
Keener Consulting performed a forensic leak investigation using systematic water testing and infrared thermography to trace the actual moisture pathway.
The true source — a failed flashing detail at a mechanical curb — was identified and corrected. No further leaks have occurred.
