Michael Grap, a long time “Roofing Expert”, is the founder and one of the owners of EC Roofing and Home Services Direct. Mike started his sales career in the corporate world of AT&T, when he was just eighteen while simultaneously attending college.

He learned everything there was to know about roofing, while having hands on training with the actual installation. He also started running his own crews. While he continued with the corporate life in sales, and attending college, he still worked after hours and weekends in the roofing industry, simply because he loved it so much. After graduating, Mike decided to merge all his talents and start his own home Improvement company. Mike has the knowledge and expertise of sales, installation technique, and Industry know how. Ask him anything about the industry and he will know it. EC Roofing has been in business for 32 years. So not only did he start a business, but he started a business that is successful and continues to thrive year after year. He now has his wife, sons, and family that help him run the business.
