After a tornado hit Perryton, Texas on June 15, injuring more than one hundred people, Roof Spotters, Inc. stepped in to support where they could. In an interview with ABC 7 News, Leland Long, president, said, “As a company, Roof Spotters believes in supporting our community and lending a helping hand during times of crisis.” The initial donation was in the amount of $50,000 of material and labor, but the company will also donate ten percent of their gross sales for the rest of the year. Relief efforts take time, and Roof Spotters is committed to providing for their community in any way that they can.

Brandon Troyer, owner of Elite Roofing and Construction, LLC, in Hillsboro, Ohio, wanted to find a way to give back to his community. This July, his company teamed up with Habitat for Humanity, donating their labor and some materials for a roof in Midland. Once completed, Adrien and Tonia Ayers and their family will receive a new home with a no-interest mortgage that they’ve also helped build. Habitat Construction co-chairmen Tom McChain and Tom Matrka, said in the Wilmington News Journal, “We are always fortunate in having local businesses offering services to our cause, and Elite’s involvement with this project has been fantastic. They did a beautiful and professional job and did it so quickly.”

Red Dog’s Roofing donated their labor earlier this year to provide widow, Jean Belford, a new roof courtesy of the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project — her husband served for the U.S. Marine Corps. Jean was selected for the new roof through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester. Thanks to the Roof Deployment Project, over 450 veterans and their families have received new roofs. Red Dog is one of many preferred contractors to help the Owens Corning Foundation with these roof replacements across the country.
