Melvin Belk founded Melvin Belk Roofing in 1983. He and his wife built the business while raising a family, sometimes bringing them along to jobs when they couldn't afford or find a sitter. They built the business on trust and honesty and brought their family up that way too. Today he heads the prosperous business and employs numerous family members. According to Melvin, "Our business is our legacy and we want to build something strong and successful to pass on to our children and grandchildren."
