About Mike McGilvary Roofing: The Roofer Who Tells You to Keep Your Roof
Mike McGilvary Roofing isn't a franchise or a national chain. Our family's Palm Beach County roofing roots date to 1974 — built on one principle: most roofs don't need replacing, they need the real problem found and fixed.

Repair first — replace only when necessary.
Too many homeowners are told they need a $35,000–$75,000 replacement when what they actually need is $3,000–$8,000 of targeted repair. We built this company on the opposite instinct: inspect first, document properly, preserve the roof that's still sound, and recommend a replacement only when one is genuinely warranted.
It's a simple promise, and it's rarer than it should be. We'd rather earn a $2,000 repair and a customer for life than push a replacement that a roof doesn't need. The documentation provides clear roof-condition evidence for insurance, underwriting, real-estate, and future maintenance review.
Mike McGilvary, owner — and the one who answers the phone.
Mike is the owner of Mike McGilvary Roofing, continuing a Palm Beach County roofing family that has worked on Florida roofs since 1974. What sets him apart is a commitment to the honest assessment over the easy sale: he has turned down tens of thousands of dollars in unnecessary replacement work by recommending the targeted repair a roof actually needed.
He holds Florida Certified Roofing Contractor license CCC1331721, carries full insurance, and is a member of the National Roofing Contractors Association. When you call about a leak at 2 a.m., your call rings directly to the owner's office and direct line, and our team answers promptly.
