Free Roof Giveaway

The commitment to customers carries over to the cities and towns they live and work in. We’re not just a contractor in the community — we’re part of the community. We give away three roofs a year to families in need.

The first community outreach project went to a customer, a teacher who had lined up a new roof to be put on in June. But when her husband passed away suddenly, the teacher called to cancel the job. “When I told Lee, he said, ‘Call her back and tell her we will put that roof on for free,’” said Tom Schlund. “That’s when I knew this was the company I wanted to retire at. We’re here to make money, but we acknowledge we are part of the community as well.”

The company now accepts essays nominating families in need for the roof replacement. We receive hundreds of nominations. Reading them is a humbling experience.

It’s all part of the company’s plan to invest in the community through these projects and others, like sponsoring youth baseball and soccer. Our project managers live in 11 different cities. We want to be a presence in all of them.
