WickRight’s founder, Bob Kelly, is a 35-year veteran General Contractor, Master Carpenter, Inventor and student of Building Science. Everyday, he pulls apart rotting roofs and walls, examines the sources of water damage and invents practical solutions.
If you're a building owner that needs help fixing moisture issues, give us a call. Bob Kelly will be happy to provide a comprehensive analysis of your building and design the proper repair.
Bob Kelly, working with home inspectors, tradespeople and building scientists, has developed many helpful products, including:
"I couldn't find anything at the supply stores, so I made it. Now we have 6 patented
passive ventilation devices that protect and vent trouble areas on parapets, low-slope and pitched roofs."
"Opening and closing roofs each day is a waste of time and money! And it's a liability if a roof doesn't get dried-in properly. A couple winters ago, we had a job with rotted trusses, so I designed a rafter system so we could tent the project and work all winter long."
365 Construction Tent has heavy-duty adjustable rafters and 10mm shrink wrap system are for use on low-slope roofs with parapet walls. Available for rent with installation by WickRight General Contracting.
Patent-pending Roof Truss Reinforcement Bracket System
"To save my clients the cost and hassle of moving out during truss repair, as well as reduce our liability for damages inside the home, I developed a bracket, that's installed from the rooftop onto existing trusses."
WickRight Truss Brackets are available direct from WickRight and require a site visit by Bob and a structural engineer to make sure the brackets are right for your project.
We are members of CRCA, ALA, CSI, IIBEC, IIC, NRCA, IMA, MMAC, IMA and WIRE. We also sponsor speakers for trade shows that share our views on building envelopes, masonry and roof ventilation.
