Half a century overhead
Every leak has a cause. We find it.
Garvey Roark has been in the contracting business for well over half a century. What we’re known for is diagnosis — determining the cause and the remedy of a roofing or waterproofing problem, then fixing it with the latest materials and methods.
Our goal hasn’t changed: earn respect through quality service at a fair price, and keep earning it. A long list of repeat customers says it’s working.

Value Design Engineering
The best roof your budget can buy.
Maintenance budgets keep getting cut. The roof still has to keep the building dry. So we engineer to the number — choosing the system, scope and timing that deliver the most protection for what you can actually spend.
Plan a roof around my budget- Step 01
Inspect
We get on the roof and find where the water is actually coming from — not just where it shows up inside.
- Step 02
Diagnose
Cause and remedy, in plain terms: what failed, why, and whether repair or replacement is the smarter spend.
- Step 03
Engineer
Value design engineering matches the system to the building and the budget you actually have.
- Step 04
Install & maintain
Approved-applicator installation by experienced crews, with inspection and maintenance to protect the investment.
