In 1947, Lawrence E. Houck started a small masonry contracting business in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Lawrence enjoyed success in his business, focusing on providing quality services to every client, every time. Lawrence’s commitment to excellence laid the cornerstone for the company’s future.

In 1980, after serving in the United States Army and graduating from Penn State University, Lawrence’s son Gary L. Houck bought the company. Under Gary’s leadership, the company began providing masonry restoration services. In 1982, Gary purchased Bader & Son Roofing and Flooring Company, significantly expanding the company’s capabilities to include roofing and flooring services.

Today, the Houck organization consists of two companies, Houck Services, Inc. and Houck & Company, Inc.

Houck Services is responsible for roofing, roof maintenance, concrete rehabilitation and industrial repair/floor systems. As a full-service roofing contractor, Houck Services installs green, single-ply, BUR, copper, slate, shingles and structural/architectural metal roofs. The company’s roof maintenance department is on-call 24/ 7/365 to provide routine and emergency roof repair service. Floor technicians install and repair all types of resinous flooring systems.

Houck & Company offers masonry restoration, concrete rehabilitation, caulking/joint systems, waterproofing and protective coating services. These craftsmen are known for their attention to detail, whether restoring a religious structure or historical monument or building, or making repairs to a modern, 20-story high rise.

Houck has been privileged to work on many unique and exciting projects, including the Valley Forge National Arch, Milton Hershey’s Founders Hall, the Canadian Embassy, Meadowlands Arena and the Baltimore Cathedral. Whether the job is large or small, Houck is committed to always providing the best quality service and craftsmanship to its customers.

Houck works for customers throughout the mid-Atlantic region, including Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. Houck has also worked on customer facilities in Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Houck’s motto is Safety, Quality, Performance. A commitment to these values has sustained the company for more than 60 years and will continue to guide it into the future.
