Hey everyone! All…. two of you…. three? Been a while. My creative sparkplug has not been firing as of late. It’s been odd here, what with summer and people saying “Eh, I’ll do it later” with their roofs. Funny story, kind of. Interesting at least: Fourth of July rolled around (yes, two months ago… 174…

Mold is something we get to deal with a lot here in roofing. We have been called more lately with people who have had this issue due to, well, the recent rains. In order for mold to grow it needs darkness, moisture, and something to consume, like wood, cloth, drywall, carpet, hopes and dreams, etc.…
DetailsAnyone here watch Futurama? “Great news everyone!” Rain is coming! Good thing, too. I was getting blisters on my feet from doing rain dances in my backyard every day at sunrise. It’s a great workout and it kept my cats entertained, but I felt like I had to do it barefoot, and man, I can…
DetailsI noticed that this blog is actually getting views now, and I’ll be honest, that made me a tad nervous. But hey, there’s always that whole Delete Everything And Pretend It Didn’t Happen option. Furthermore, I’ll simply post one of my favorite words here and move on: Fortitude: mental and emotional strength in facing difficulty,…
DetailsAs previously stated, Tom has relayed to me some strange stories about estimates he’s made at people’s homes. I passed off an estimate to Tom recently and he told me to come with him on this one. This was just to see what he was talking about, because he already knew this one was one of…
Details*cue Twilight Zone creepy theme music* We unlock this door with the key of clicking ta link. Behind it, is some weird stuff. Weird sounds, weird sights, and evidence of a profoundly odd mind. You’re moving into a land of mostly unrelated rhetoric with the occasional aside to actual roofing information. You’ve entered… this blog. for…
DetailsSo, the El Nino scare (pretend there’s the little squiggly line above the N there) got everyone… ah… scared. In terms of roofing, at least. One of the many funny things about roofing is how the work goes along with the weather patterns. Which in a way is nice, because during the summer it doesn’t…
DetailsThroughout my (three? almost three?) months here at Garvey Roofing Inc., Tom has relayed to me some… strange… stories about people he’s met while out on estimates. He goes out into the sprawl that is Los Angeles and witnesses a variety of people. I’d estimate he’s met one person in every area that is the “cultural…
DetailsSo………….. online reviews. *ominous music plays in background* Online reviews are the go-to nowadays for trying to determine the quality of a company. You want to look up a good roofing company… you go to Google/Yellow Pages/etc. You might even go to the Better Business Bureau, which is a private company, by the way. Non-government. Bet…
DetailsSo, this is my first attempt at a blog for a business. As I learned from my boss, the man himself, Tom Garvey (hence, ya know, the name) the best way to figure out how to do something is… well… by doing it. So here I am! It’s going to be fun, and all my…
