A career spent testing windows — first inside an accredited laboratory, now independently for the people who need straight answers about them.
Jimmy Cruz spent [X years — confirm] at FTL, an accredited fenestration test laboratory, where he [role/title — confirm] — testing windows, doors, and glazing systems against ASTM, AAMA, and NAFS standards for manufacturers seeking certification and for field investigations of installed product.
That laboratory background is the foundation of his consulting practice: he has personally run the tests most experts only cite, and he has seen — across [hundreds/thousands — confirm] of specimens — exactly how and where fenestration products fail.
Today, through Window Testing & Consulting, he serves attorneys, contractors, manufacturers, architects, and building owners across [region — confirm].
[These are the real industry credential programs for this field — confirm with Jimmy which he holds, delete the rest, and add any others:]
Professional certification in fenestration products, standards, and codes (Fenestration & Glazing Industry Alliance)
Certified installer / trainer program for window and door installation in residential and light commercial construction
Experience conducting field tests under an AAMA-accredited independent laboratory program [FTL accreditation — confirm]
Working fluency with Committee E06 (Performance of Buildings) test methods [member? — confirm]
No manufacturer ties, no installer affiliations. The findings go where the evidence goes.
Every test to the letter of the governing ASTM/AAMA document — because that's what survives scrutiny.
Photo logs, calibration records, raw data. If it wasn't documented, it didn't happen.
Reports and testimony written so an owner, a judge, or a jury can follow the physics.
Testing question, leak investigation, or a case that needs an expert — start with a confidential conversation.
