About the Book

Using laymen's terms, and with sketches and diagrams only in the appendix, this informative primer gets to the nitty gritty and explains why some buildings have more exterior challenges than others, what can be done about them, and why it should matter to you.

Now I Understand will serve to educate you about the exterior maintenance challenges and responsibilities that you have as a property owner in the metropolitan area. Mr. Cowley draws upon his extensive professional experience investigating, diagnosing, and repairing buildings and parking structures. He provides savvy advice that makes the process easier and more understandable for all those involved in the planning, improvement, repair and maintenance of buildings.

After reading this book, you will better understand:
  • why façades, parapets and roofs ALL leak.
  • what it takes to fix your façade, parapets and roof.
  • how YOU can have a big impact on your project's success.

    This one-of-a-kind resource will provide the answers to the questions you've been asking.
