Glen Young, President, Owner/Operator

A native of Vancouver's Lower Mainland, Glen is very aware of the impact of climate on construction. Beginning his industry career in 1980, he rounded out his extensive construction and supervisory experience with a Carpentry Technical Qualification and at UBC's Faculty of Applied Sciences.

Moving from residential to commercial superintendent in 1992, Glen has worked exclusively in building envelope management since 1998, involved in all aspects of new construction and restoration/remediation projects. His exceptional ability to recognize the extent of moisture problems without destructive investigation makes him a leader in rain screen technologies.

 "Our goal is to provide professional and effective maintenance, resulting in savings for our clients."

Rick Dinsmore, Operations Manager

Immersed in the construction trade since childhood, Rick began his own career in Ontario in 1976, supervising numerous residential and commercial projects and becoming owner/operator of a service/warranty company for manufactured homes throughout western Canada.

Moving to BC in 1992, he soon recognized a gap in the coastal construction industry and devoted his career to envelope maintenance. Working with strata councils, engineers, and consultants to resolve moisture ingress issues, Rick provides a highly regarded proactive approach.

"When someone takes on a large investment like a home, they have the right to be treated with respect - we treat their home like our own."
