Specialty Roofers Inc. wants to extend their sincere appreciation for the first responders who keep our beautiful community safe!
During the month of June, over 100 first responders and healthcare heroes told them their stories and entered the contest. With so many touching stories the team at Specialty Roofers Inc. couldn’t draw just one name.
Three names were drawn on July 15th, National Give Something Away Day, and now it is up to the community to vote!
One lucky winner will receive a free GAF Timberline HDZ roof system in the color of their choice.
