R. J. Kenney Associates was initially founded as a licensed materials testing laboratory and consulting firm focused on new construction. But our services quickly expanded to include investigations of defects in existing construction, with an emphasis on exterior building envelopes and construction products such as concrete, masonry, stucco, exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS), windows, doors, curtain walls, and sealants. Since then, we have conducted numerous national and international studies and authored several research papers that have shaped national building codes and industry practices. As active members of several industry organizations, our staff keeps up-to-date on the latest industry developments and supports initiatives for improved performance and durability of materials, systems, and products.
