FORT MYERS, Fla., May 29, 2023 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Kelly Roofing, a platinum Owens Corning roofing company, is giving back to U.S. military veterans through a partnership with Rebuilding Together Tampa Bay/Rebuilding Together Central Florida. As part of the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project, United States Army veteran Benjamin Hill received a brand new roof on March 17. The Owens Corning Foundation donated the roofing materials and Kelly Roofing donated the labor.
The Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project is a nationwide effort to show gratitude and honor to the veterans who have served the country and the families who support them. Since the program began in 2016, more than 400 military members have received new roofs.
“We’re thrilled to be able to give back to these people who have served our country so well,” said Ken Kelly, President of Kelly Roofing. “It is up to us to serve them.”
Hill was chosen for his outstanding military service, hometown and the severity of the damage.
“I think it’s wonderful what these groups are doing to help those in need. I’m grateful to be part of a community that cares,” says Hill.
Joe Kelly Sr. moved to South Florida in 1972 to start a family business. As a journeyman roofer from New York City, his expertise set an industry standard for excellence. Today it has grown from a family business with a team of dedicated family members and dedicated employees to become the largest roofing company in Florida. In 1993, the company became a second-generation company when its current President, Ken Kelly, took over the helm. His innovation and use of technology accelerated the family’s passion for change. Combining the ancient principles of ancient builders and today’s technology, Kelly Roofing employs the highest caliber roofers to ensure the best roofing quality and craftsmanship in Florida.
