Roofing seems simple and yet there are common mistakes that roofers make along with the eager, energetic do-it-yourselfers.
Garvey Roofing is different because Thomas Garvey installs new roofs and repairs for all seasons in the San Gabriel Valley.
He says, “When it rains, my phone doesn’t ring.”
Let’s find out why and you can consider if you need a new roof or a roof repair.
So why doesn’t Thomas Garvey’s phone ring when it rains?
Here are two general reasons:
#1 Thomas knows how the hottest summer sun weakens the seams of older roofs and can impact the underlayment if the roof doesn’t have the best ventilation or underlayment.
Summer heat weakens the roof and winter rains will find a way into the weaker spots.
#2 He and his team handle all the details properly.
They prevent the most common roofing mistakes from happening while preparing your home to handle the summer heat and to withstand winter rains and conditions like the Santa Ana winds.
What are some of the details? This is what you can expect on a roofing job:
- Installing flashing properly—improper installation is one of the most common roofing problems
- Installing the decking and using the right grade plywood
- Using the best underlayment to reflect the sun’s most harmful rays
- Nailing shingles using the proper technique
- Venting the roof so the attic temperatures stay as low as possible during the hottest days and as dry as possible during the winter, when storms sail in from northern California
- For commercial buildings, that includes properly preparing and sealing around internal drains
Thomas applies his knowledge of building science to all his roofing jobs. He knows how roofing impacts historical bungalow homes and the most modern commercial roofs. He and his team have roofed the Victorian style homes in Heritage Square off the 110 Freeway.
Roofing is interconnected with other parts of the home and he also knows how venting and piping impacts the water flow from buildings to the street.

Let’s say you have a leaky roof and plan on selling in just a few years. You might be able to get by with a roof repair.
The older your roof is, and the longer you plan on staying in your home then the wiser it likely is to invest in a new roof installation.
