About MM Roof Repair - Honest Roofing Since 1974
MM Roof Repair isn't your typical roofing company. Since 1974, we've built our reputation on a simple principle: most roofs don't need replacement—they need expert repair. While other roofing companies push expensive full replacements, we've saved Palm Beach County property owners tens of millions of dollars by fixing what's broken and preserving what still works.
Operating as Mike McGilvary Roofing Inc., we're a family-owned business serving residential and commercial customers throughout South Florida. Our approach is fundamentally different: we use advanced diagnostic technology (thermal imaging, drone inspections, moisture testing) to find actual problems, provide honest assessments even when repairs cost us less profit than replacement would, and stand behind our work with 2-year warranties—double the industry standard.
🎯 Our Mission: Repair First, Replace Only When Necessary
Too many homeowners are told they need $35,000-$75,000 roof replacements when what they actually need is $3,000-$8,000 in targeted repairs. We believe in transparency, education, and empowering property owners to make informed decisions. If your roof needs replacement, we'll tell you why and show you the evidence. But if strategic repairs will extend your roof's life another 10-15 years, we'll explain that option first—even though it means less revenue for us.

Meet Mike McGilvary - Your Local Roofing Expert
Mike McGilvary is the owner and driving force behind MM Roof Repair. With over a decade of hands-on roofing experience and inheriting a family business established in 1974, Mike brings both technical expertise and old-school values to every project. Unlike many roofing company owners who never climb a ladder, Mike personally oversees every major project and handles emergency response calls himself.
What sets Mike apart is his commitment to honest assessments over easy sales. He's turned down tens of thousands in unnecessary replacement work by recommending repairs instead—a practice that's earned loyal customers but would horrify most business consultants. Mike's philosophy: "I'd rather make $3,000 fixing your roof correctly than make $30,000 replacing a roof that didn't need replacement. You'll remember the honesty, and you'll call me again."
Mike holds Florida Contractor License CCC1331721, maintains comprehensive insurance coverage, and is a member of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA). He's personally available for consultations, emergency response, and complex problem-solving—especially the "impossible" leaks that have stumped other contractors.

Invested in advanced diagnostic technology including thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, and drone inspection systems. Pioneered "roof rebuild" approach as alternative to full replacement.

What Makes MM Roof Repair Different
Family-Owned & Locally Operated
We're not a franchise or national chain with out-of-state ownership. Mike McGilvary lives in Palm Beach County, his kids attend local schools, and his reputation in this community matters personally. When you call, you get the owner—not a call center in another state. This local accountability means we can't afford to do shoddy work or provide dishonest estimates because word travels fast in South Florida.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
Most roofing contractors rely on visual inspection and experience. We've invested $15,000+ in professional diagnostic equipment: FLIR thermal imaging cameras ($8,000), professional-grade moisture meters, drone systems for comprehensive roof documentation, and controlled water testing equipment. This technology finds problems other contractors miss and proves issues for insurance claims.
Repair-First Philosophy
We pioneered the "roof rebuild" concept in Palm Beach County—comprehensive repairs to damaged sections while preserving functional materials. This approach saves customers $15,000-$50,000+ compared to unnecessary full replacement while delivering equivalent long-term performance. We recommend replacement only when repairs don't make financial sense—and we show you exactly why.
Superior Warranty Coverage
Our 2-year workmanship warranty is double the industry standard 1-year coverage. We also offer 10-year warranties on new installations and provide 5-year roof certifications for insurance requirements. We stand behind our work because we know it's done right—not because legally required. If problems arise, we return and fix them at no charge.
True 24/7 Emergency Response
When we say 24/7 emergency service, we mean it. Mike personally answers emergency calls—no answering services, no callbacks tomorrow. We dispatch promptly for genuine emergencies throughout Palm Beach County. Our emergency response includes professional tarping, immediate leak investigation with thermal imaging, and on-site assessment providing clear next steps.
Education-Focused Approach
We educate property owners about their roofs rather than selling them solutions they don't understand. Every inspection includes explanation of what we found, why it matters, your options for addressing issues, and honest recommendations prioritizing your budget and goals. We provide written reports, photographic documentation, and thermal images you can keep—helping you make informed decisions.
