Terry Kennedy has been an AEC (architecture, engineering, contracting) professional for over 35 years. He has installed many roofs working on the deck, and been responsible for the installation of many others. In addition to his field experience, he has consulted in countless settlements for lawsuits that evolve from roofing defects. This insight gives the author a strong hand in recognizing what is really needed when it comes to being a true roofing professional.
