Company Overview

Gary L. Houck, Head Cheerleader/CEO

In 1947, Lawrence E. Houck, had a simple vision and started a small masonry contracting business.  In 1980, after having served in the US Army, graduating from Penn State University and working with Houck, Lawrence’s son, Gary L. Houck, bought the company.  Under Gary’s leadership, the company first expanded their capabilities to include masonry restoration services.  Then in 1982, he purchased Bader & Son Roofing and Flooring Company.  Over the years, the Houck companies have been honored with numerous local and national awards in recognition of their craftsmanship and commitment to safety. What began as a two-man operation is now a growing company servicing the entire mid-Atlantic region.

Better known as the Houck Group, Inc., the organization consists of two subsidiaries working throughout PA, MD, VA, DC and the Mid-Atlantic region. Tradition, pride and experience best explains our approach to restoring the most intricate monuments, buildings and historical structures. Our skilled craftspeople understand historic methodology and the best way to seamlessly blend with new technology.

Houck & Company, Inc. handles masonry restoration, concrete rehabilitation, caulking/joint systems, waterproofing and protective coatings.  Our restoration craftspeople are known for their extreme attention to detail – whether it’s restoring a religious structure, a historical monument or building or making repairs to a modern, 20-story high-rise building.
