Trademark Roofing partnered with Habitat for Humanity to offer roofing assistance to a family in Cape Coral. Trademark Roofing donated and installed a new 5V-Crimp metal roof for the Eng family, identified by Habitat for Humanity for post Hurricane Ian damage.
Realizing the dire need for roofing repairs in the aftermath of the storm, Trademark Roofing reached out to David Rivera, the field representative from Habitat for Humanity of Lee and Hendry Counties, with whom they had coordinated earlier to help the community in need. The joint mission was clear: to provide immediate roofing assistance to those enrolled in the Hurricane Recovery Home Repair Program.
David Rivera spotlighted the Eng family, who were in a critical situation, needing substantial repair work both on the roof and in their home. The generous contribution by Trademark Roofing alleviated a significant financial burden, enabling the Eng family to allocate their funds and provide resources towards the essential interior renovations. Without this assistance, the majority of their available funds would have been exhausted on roofing repairs, leaving no finances for interior restoration.
Alexander Eng expressed his gratitude saying, “Having my roof repair done by Habitat for Humanity will provide peace of mind and security to me and my family.” This sentiment underscores the life-changing impact such initiatives have on families striving to restore their homes.
Trademark Roofing didn’t stop there. They further collaborated with their supplier partner, Overholt Metals of Arcadia. Christopher Sparks from Overholt Metals responded enthusiastically to the call of duty stating, “Absolutely, it’s a no brainer to help and we are happy to be part of this opportunity.” Overholt Metals generously agreed to donate the 5V-Crimp metal roofing material needed for the project, amplifying the community support for the Eng family.
Tristan Starbird, the CEO of Trademark Roofing, expressed his commitment to the partnership: “It’s been a pleasure to work with everyone at Habitat for Humanity of Lee and Hendry Counties. We worked with them before Hurricane Ian and were quick to respond to their clients’ needs post-storm. This particular scenario was unique as the Engs were awaiting insurance determination to commence work on their home, enduring the hardship of residing in a damaged home. We are thrilled to help them move past this difficult phase and provide them with a solid roof over their heads.”
Schick Roofing is donating a new roof to Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) deputy Mary Norwood, who lives in Apopka. A 32-year OCSO veteran, Norwood was nominated by Sgt. Michael Murphy for Schick Roofing’s Helping Hometown Heroes program. This is an annual initiative in which the company gives away a free roof to a deserving Central Florida law enforcement officer. Norwood’s roof is 18 years old and in need of replacement.
FRSA is proud of the volunteer work completed by members in the industry and would like to share those projects as often as possible. If you have a community service project you’ve completed, please send it to Lisa Pate at lisapate@floridaroof.com.
