WickRight Passive Ventilation dries out wet masonry, stops leaks, improves indoor air quality, extends the life of low-slope roofs and prevents truss damage. We make linear passive ventilation devices, scupper access equipment, truss reinforcement brackets and tenting for open low-slope roof systems.
We provide installation training, consulting and repair diagnosis. WickRight Capstone, Clay Coping and Metal Coping devices stop moisture from seeping through capstones and clay coping mortar, while providing air circulation across the top of the wall and exhausting trapped water vapor.
WickRight Roof VRS exhausts heat and prevents condensation build-up under low-slope roof membranes and in the interstitial roof space; reducing this moisture sigificantly extends the life of roofing materials.WickRight Perimeter VRS and Hip & Valley VRS allow fresh air into attics and short rafter areas.

WickRight's founder, Bob Kelly, is a 35-year veteran General Contractor, Master Carpenter, Inventor and student of Building Science. Everyday, he pulls apart rotting roofs and walls, examines the sources of water damage and invents practical solutions. I couldn't find anything at the supply stores, so I made it.
Multiple by the perimeter measurement of the buildings for a REAL drying effect and a smell-free building. Old world charm + new mortars = new world problems! WickRight Clay Coping VRS installed under clay copings gives your clients the best of both worlds. The beauty and natural breathe-ability of clay AND the moisture protection of WickRight's Clay Coping VRS and custom 2-piece counter flashing really works.
WickRight Roof VRS allows the interstitial space beneath the plywood roof deck to exhaust condensation, and redirects moisture from the masonry wall to the exterior, away from the roof system. This passive ventilation significantly extends the life of roofing and structural components and allows wet truss ends embedded in masonry pockets to dry.
All the training and help you need to diagnose and solve your client's water intrusion issues. If your client caught the issue early, the solutions may include ventilation, roofing repairs and masonry maintenance. If the damage is more extensive - the scope may also include a complete roof tear off, parapet rebuild or reinforcement and/or replacement of trusses.

Our condo building had moisture issues in the masonry walls pushing into the building damaging interior walls. We had numerous companies come out to do roof repairs but none of them corrected the underlying issue. Bob from Wickright was able to pinpoint the problem and had an innovative solution. They have a passive ventilation system that allows moisture to exhaust from the ventilated parapet cap. Bob and his crew were great. They did the job in a timely manner and cleaned up after. Bob was very good communicating what was going on throughout and followed up with us long after the project was

My 5 unit condo building had a water intrusion issue that no one, and I mean NO ONE could figure out. We spent years, and thousands of dollars trying to solve the problem and got nowhere. Enter Bob Kelly...the guy is a water intrusion savant. He diagnosed the problem, invented his own fix for it, and did all the work. Everything always took a little bit longer than expected, but Bob and his guys were always super nice and professional. You'll be able to find other contractors to get things done quicker and cheaper, but if you definitely want it done right the first time these are the guys to call

Bob Kelly is absolutely THE person you want for water intrusion issues in your home. He is extremely knowledgable and thoughtful about repairs and recognizes that each issue requires a custom strategy. His work is high quality, creative and effective. He knows what he is doing and is undaunted by tricky issues that might scare away other contractors. We contacted him originally for assistance with water issues around our windows. It took him many months to actually begin the job, but once he did, the work was impeccable and we have not had an issue since. Most recently, he has helped us with masonry

Buyer beware. My condo building put a deposit down with WickRight in the fall and they still haven't come out to do the work on the building (it's now March). They have provided numerous "start dates" and when they don't show up to work, there's another excuse. First our project was next in line, then third in line, now there are four or five projects ahead of us.
I can't comment on the work itself, because there's no work to comment on.
If you're interested in a roofer that actually wants to work and complete your project on time, I highly recommend going elsewhere. WickRight has been nothing

I found WickRight because they have been doing projects all around our neighborhood. These guys are rock stars! Diane, with whom I spoke first, really knew her stuff and their products. Bob Kelly appeared the next day to estimate the roof work. Clearly, they had spoken because he knew exactly what we talked about. WickRight wasn't the only company that I spoke with and it was obvious that this wasn't Bob's first rodeo. We discussed different approaches to the repair, costs, and within a couple of days I had their estimate. 2 weeks later the work was done. On budget. By the way, their crew was impressive

Our condominium has been working with WickRight to resolve a water intrusion issue of unknown origin. After months and months of trying to find the source, we met WickRight at an exposition. Their help and the team of experts they coordinated finally found our problem. It is difficult to coordinate multiple vendors at certain times of the year because the seasons dictate when trades people are busy. Since we have found the source of our issues and can now resolve our problem, it was worth the time and effort that went into having WickRight coordinate this project. I highly recommend them.
