Excited to Share! I had the opportunity to attend the International Roofing Expo (IRE) 2026, where industry leaders came together to showcase innovations, share best practices, and discuss the future of roofing and restoration. It was a fantastic experience to connect with peers, explore cutting-edge solutions, and gain insights that will help us deliver even better solutions to our clients. Looking forward to applying what I’ve learned and continuing the conversation with those who are shaping the industry! If you attended IRE as well, I’d love to hear your key takeaways—let’s connect! #IRE2026 #RoofingIndustry #Restoration #Innovation #Networking

Parking structures aren’t just functional. Sometimes, they can shape how a place feels. 🎨🚉 At the Stamford Transportation Center parking garage, a newly painted mural adds color, story, and local identity to a place thousands pass through every day. Projects like this highlight how infrastructure, design, and community intersect—especially in high-traffic transportation environments where first impressions matter. Take a closer look at the project and see how thoughtful planning supports spaces that work hard and connect people to place. 👀 🔗 https://bit.ly/4a3ht4I #WalkerConsultants #AEC #ParkingDesign #TransportationInfrastructure #PublicArt #UrbanDesign #PlaceMatters #TransitOrientedDevelopment

Historic façades tell stories… but only if we know how to read them. 🧱 In this video, we’re bringing back Allison Toonen-Talamo, one of our historic preservation consultants, to break down what really matters when evaluating brick and mortar on existing and historic buildings. From past repairs and material compatibility to moisture movement and roof-to-wall transitions, if you work with vintage or historic properties, this is worth a watch. 👀 #HistoricPreservation #BuildingEnclosures #FacadeAssessment #ExistingBuildings #AEC #WalkerConsultants

🔥When wildfire exposure meets complex building systems, the real story is in the details. In Malibu, a residential estate impacted by the Woolsey Wildfire required a comprehensive forensic investigation to understand how heat, embers, ash, and smoke interacted with roofing systems and wood-framed elements over time. 🏠🌬️ From roof assemblies to warped doors and windows, this project highlights how post-fire conditions can affect structures long after the flames are gone and why technical evaluation matters. Dive into the project to see how forensic investigation supports informed decisions in high-risk environments. 👇 🔗 https://bit.ly/4bFNukG #ForensicInvestigation #WildfireDamage #AECIndustry #BuildingScience #CaliforniaProjects #WalkerConsultants
