GARCO INVESTMENTS

Preferably meet with customer,  discuss their construction needs. If unable to meet, we can discuss the work over the phone.  Once we have the scope of work, we submit a proposal.  If the proposal is accepted,  we sign a contract and schedule the work. 

Worked for he DOW CHEMICAL CO. for 23 years...and retired at age 45. Received training building computers, oil refinery processes, radio active non-destructive testing, metalurgy , pumps and seals, industrial plant construction, OSHA compliance training, and plant protection and processes. At the same time I started a construction company where we were  liscensed in general construction. We built residential homes, commercial buildings, hotels and city projects.

Roofing prices vary in the type of home structure. Our base pricing starts at 300 per sq. for a single level ranch with only one layer of shingles. Prices increase for a 2 story, 3 story or higher. Prices also increase for multiple shingle layers.

Siding prices also vary depending on siding quality. A standard price for siding is 375 per sq, and can go much higher depending on siding chosen, such as vinyl, wood, metal or cement board.

Gutters typically cost $7.00 per lf

Other projects like home remodels, decks or additions require more input for pricing.

Started in construction at age 12 as a clean up helper. After school and on weekends,  I was earning 5 dollars a week in 1966. The Contractor I worked for built houses from the ground with the help of his 2 brothers,  so I slowly learned multiple trades,..carpentry,  plumbing,  roofing,  masonry, electrical, and wood trim.  At 17 I joined the Army , served with the 5th and 10 th special operations group as medic. I was honorably discharged in 1975 and worked as a correctional officer for  the next 2 years. I started a one man construction company in 1977 and in a non-related occurrence was hired by the Dow chemical company. I worked those 2 jobs for the next 23 years until my private company demanded all my attention. I retired from Dow abd decided to concentrate on residential construction . 

In construction you make contact with  all religions, nationalities,  ethnic groups,races  and social economic levels. The one thing they all have in common is this,  they have construction needs...and that's where we excel. 

We recently installed a new roof  for a doctor that works at P&G. He was a transplant from England  and his last place of employment was Harlingen, Tx. MYyself and my wife are Texans .He kept talking about what he and his boys missed most was the Tex Mex food. I told my wife about it and  she cooked and delivered him and his boys an authentic Tex Mex meal. We finished the job and he suggested a Tex style cookout  to celebrate. My wife bought tons of food and I took my Texas sized grill to his house.  We thought  it was just going to be his family and us,..but he invited the WHOLE BLOCK!! Needless to say, we had a GRAET time, met lots of really nice people and even gained  a few customers.
