Roofer Chicks and GAF donate a new roof for Rock Haus Foundation

The Rock Haus building, home to a day program for adults with special needs, was replaced for the first time in over 20 years.

Rock Haus Foundation, a local nonprofit that aims to enrich the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Comal County, Texas, recently received a new roof from Roofer Chicks and GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer. 

Based in New Braunfels, Texas, Rock Haus Foundation supports people with IDD through resources, opportunities and community connections. The organization provides support with employment, volunteering, regular recreation/leisure activities, social events and finding service providers, helping families navigate a challenging system.

After suffering significant wind damage, as well as natural aging, Rock Haus Foundation’s roof was replaced for the first time in over 20 years. The roof replacement will ensure the partial historic building provides a safe and comfortable space for the organization’s many activities and events for the community, such as music enrichment, art empowerment, dance classes and more.

Rock Haus Foundation contacted Roofer Chicks to assist with the roof replacement and given the significance of the Foundation’s work on the community, Roofer Chicks was excited to get involved. Roofer Chicks installed the new roof using materials donated by GAF. This collaboration is part of GAF’s social impact initiative, GAF Community Matters, which is focused on making a positive impact in the community by leveraging roofing expertise, resources and products to help build resilient communities.

“We’re honored to support Rock Haus, a local nonprofit that provides vital services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, " said Ami Feller, owner of Roofing Chicks. “This project has been in the works for a couple of years, thanks to the dedication of our sales manager, Megan Smith, and the unwavering commitment of the Rock Haus board of directors. We’re also incredibly grateful to GAF for their generous donation."

“The Rock Haus building, now listed as a Texas Historical Landmark, is home to a day program for adults with special needs. In order for that program to continue a new roof is needed”, says Bill Barry, administrative coordinator at Rock Haus Foundation. “Roofer Chicks and GAF have partnered to assist us in meeting that need. Their positive impact will be felt by those in the program and for countless parents/caregivers and other providers as we utilize the building to educate and connect them to needed supports. Our community thanks you!”
