Report
I have worked with Bob Varner of Technology Associates for 15 years. Bob is very knowledgeable, and professional, and has help several of my Condominium communities problem solve, and plan their roof replacement programs. I highly recommend Bob to solve new construction defects and provide engineering services for replacement projects.
