NORFOLK, Va. (WVEC) — A local Navy veteran received a brand new roof on his home for free because of several local companies.
Owens Corning Platinum Contractors are working with Purple Heart Homes to provide new roofs to veterans in need and their families as part of the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project.
On Tuesday, U.S. Navy veteran Duane Williams received a new roof from an Owens Corning Roofing Platinum Contractor. This nationwide effort is a way to show gratitude and honor the veterans who served our country and the families who support them.
“We’re honored to participate in the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project for a second year in a row,” said Herb Paynter, Founder of Colony Roofing. “Duane is a true inspiration and we’re grateful we get to serve him in this way just as he served all of us and our country.”
Local contractors donated the roofing materials and labor to replace shingles on the homes of military veterans and their families throughout the country.
"Our goal is to improve veterans’ lives, one home at a time," said John Gallina, Executive Director at Purple Heart Homes. “We rely on great partners like Owens Corning and Colony Roofing to help make that a reality for veterans in our communities all over the country.”
