Atlantic & Caribbean Roof Consulting, LLC (ACRC) was founded in 2001 by Eric Smause, stemming from his extensive experience in the commercial roofing industry. Eric started as a crew member while attending college and quickly rose through the ranks, gaining valuable insights into the challenges faced by property owners and managers when selecting roofing systems. His journey led him to recognize the complexities and confusion surrounding the roofing industry, particularly in understanding bids from different contractors, which often involved various materials and systems that made comparisons untenable.
This realization spurred Eric to transition from project management to consulting, driven by a vision to provide unbiased and expert evaluations to help clients navigate the often overwhelming roofing options available. ACRC has grown into a nationally recognized firm, dedicated to improving industry standards and providing clients with the tested, reliable data needed to make informed decisions. Through standardizing bid specifications, ACRC enables customers to make side-by-side comparisons of roofing products and systems.
The mission of ACRC is to offer comprehensive evaluations supported by certified test data and code requirements to building owners, contractors, designers, and manufacturers. Their vision is to be the go-to resource for uncompromised expertise in the roofing sector, emphasizing strong relationships, accurate assessments, and exceptional service.
