Just Needed A New Roof

Roofers from All About Roofing replacing a customer's roof.
Seventy-nine year old Barbara has meant everything to her family. She even contributed when her grandson needed two heart transplant surgeries. But her generosity has left her with very little in the way of a nest egg.

Barbara lives in a rural area of North Carolina and her home has really been showing its age, so much so that her roof leaks in several areas, including right over her bed. And, as anyone knows, a home that leaks every time it rains, becomes not a home at all.



So, with the roof needing immediate replacement, however, there was a dilemma - how to replace it when you don't have the money for the job. So, she took the $300 that she had and went over to ALL ABOUT ROOFING CO over in Elon to see what could be done. Of course, $300 isn't much when you're trying to repair an entire roof.

In stepped company owner Jeremy Lee. When he realized that Barbara would probably not be able to afford a new roof in the near future, he decided to repair this roof for free. You see, every year for the past three years, All About Roofing has provided one free roof for a member of the community in need. Mr. Lee stated, "The Christmas spirit is part of it. But mainly, the community's taken really good care of us and we just wanted to give something back. And this is the best way we know how to give back because this is our profession."

Just think, Barbara came to Mr. Lee at the right time, and received an early Christmas gift, and that's quite something for a woman who has given just about everything to help others.
A company that actually puts its words into practice.
