Roofing Consulting Services
VG3 Consulting works with manufacturers, distributors, contractors, and project teams on the practical side of commercial roofing: products and systems, sourcing, sales support, and keeping a roofing scope coordinated from quote to close-out.
Scope
VG3 Consulting is a consulting and project-support firm. We are not a roofing contractor, and we do not install, repair, or warrant roofing systems. What we bring is 25 years of working alongside the people who do.
Services
Three lines of work, kept broad on purpose. Most engagements start with a question about a product, a supplier, or a scope that is not moving.
Advisory
An experienced outside read on commercial roofing decisions, from the product and system level down to how a job is likely to go together.
Manufacturers and distributors
Support for the companies that make and stock roofing products, drawing on long-running relationships across the supply chain.
Project delivery
Practical help keeping a roofing scope moving between the people quoting it, the people supplying it, and the people installing it.
Low-slope metal, mechanical curb, and every seam a place the system either works or does not
Who we work with
A roof is made, stocked, specified, installed, and paid for by five different parties who do not always talk to each other. VG3 works with all of them.
Product lines, field feedback, and the distributor and contractor relationships that carry them.
Stocking decisions, product knowledge, and support for counter and outside sales teams.
Material sourcing, submittals, and a second opinion on systems and sequencing.
Practical input on assemblies, product availability, and what holds up in the field.
A clear read on roofing scope, cost drivers, and schedule risk while there is still time to act.
Experience
Division 07, thermal and moisture protection
VG3 was founded on a quarter century spent on the supply side of commercial roofing: with the manufacturers who build the products, the distributors who stock them, the sales teams who sell them, and the contractors who put them on buildings.
That time is worth something specific. It is knowing which products actually ship on the schedule they promise, who to call when a submittal stalls, what a detail costs to build the way it is drawn, and which questions are worth asking before a roofing scope is priced rather than after.
Relationships are most of it. The roofing industry is small enough that the same names come back around, and long enough in the tooth that reputation still moves faster than any pitch.
Commercial and industrial work is the center of gravity. Residential runs through the same manufacturers, the same distributors, and often the same contractors, so it is in range as well.
Five bands, five decisions, and a supplier behind each one. Knowing which of them actually matters on a given building is the part that takes years.
Product sits in a warehouse before it sits on a building. Both ends of that trip are the work
About
VG3 Consulting is a roofing consulting and project-support firm based in Idaho, founded by Virgil E. Gehrts III after 25 years working with roofing suppliers, sales teams, contractors, manufacturers, and both commercial and residential projects.
The work is deliberately broad. Some of it is product and system advice, some is helping a manufacturer or distributor reach the trade, and some is simply staying on top of a roofing scope until it is closed out. If it sits between a roofing product and a building, it is probably in range.
VG3 is a young company built on a long career, and it is growing carefully. If you have a roofing question and are not sure who to ask, that is a good reason to get in touch.
