Our Story

Our founder, Eric Smause, began his career as a crew member for a commercial roofer while putting himself through college. As he earned promotions over the years to foreman, then supervisor, and project manager, he recognized the difficulty property owners and managers faced in making informed decisions about very costly roof systems. This experience inspired Eric to shift his career focus to consulting. He witnessed first-hand a need within the roofing community for experts who were unbiased and uninfluenced; experts who could help clients make a very complicated, seemingly impossible task, more understandable.

Eric's methods included standardizing bid specifications which enabled clients to evaluate comparable roof systems and products from multiple contractors. His recommendations were not influenced by low bids for roof systems that were not compatible with his client's building type. Eric's resolve to keep his client's best interest in mind was uncompromised. He did not stop there, his ability to identify needs within the industry led to developing improved standards in not only the way the industry compares different roofing systems but also the standards in which those products and materials are tested.

Eric's mission to provide uncompromised expertise supported with state of the art testing data and code compliance, along with over 30 years of experience in the commercial roofing industry, enabled him to attract talent with like minds and values. ACRC was founded in 2001 because of one man's commitment to help building owners and managers have access to truly unbiased evaluations of their roofing needs. ACRC ultimately helped improve standards for testing products, systems, and code applications for the entire commercial roofing community.
