Disfruta esta conmovedora historia de dos compañías de techado que ayudan a un veterano que necesitaba un techo nuevo. 

Bone Dry Roofing y Owens Corning han tenido una larga relación de proveedor‑contratista. Este verano, se unieron para un tipo de colaboración diferente. 

Durante tres años, el veterano del Ejército Timothy Nichols ahorró para un techo nuevo para su casa en Lexington, Kentucky. 

“Llegó al punto en que casi había más parches que techo sólido”, dijo Timothy a LEX18. “Sabíamos que se estaba acercando el momento, y esperábamos haber ahorrado lo suficiente para cubrir el techo.” 

Sin embargo, su unidad de aire acondicionado tenía otros planes. 

“Literalmente un día antes de que Bone Dry Roofing viniera a darme una cotización o estimado para el techo, nuestro aire acondicionado dejó de funcionar,” compartió Timothy. “Eso básicamente consumió nuestros ahorros que habíamos destinado para el techo.” 

Afortunadamente, el equipo de Bone Dry Roofing le habló a Timothy del Roof Deployment Project de Owens Corning, que ofrece reemplazos de techo gratuitos para veteranos. 

Kelly Street de Owens Corning le dijo a WKYT: “Nos encanta retribuir a los veteranos que han sacrificado tanto por nuestro país; es una pequeña manera de mostrarles agradecimiento.” 

Owens Corning suministró los materiales y Bone Dry Roofing proporcionó la mano de obra para reemplazar el techo de Timothy, que habría costado entre $12,000 y $13,000. 

“Tratamos de hacer uno al año,” dijo Jade Marsh, gerente general de Bone Dry Roofing. “Hemos tenido éxito, creo que los últimos cuatro años, encontrando un candidato que lo merecía y necesitaba un techo nuevo.” 

“Cosas buenas como esta simplemente no me pasan,” expresó Timothy. “No podría haber ocurrido en un mejor momento. Realmente necesitábamos una victoria.”

Disfruta estas conmovedoras historias de empresas de techado que apoyan a veteranos en sus comunidades. 

Ha sido realmente una temporada de generosidad en el mundo del techado durante los últimos meses. Desde Michigan y Montana hasta Massachusetts y Nueva York, estas cuatro compañías dedicaron tiempo y recursos para ofrecer techos gratuitos a veteranos en sus comunidades. 

Waterford, Michigan 

“Mi techo estaba realmente viejo”, dijo el veterano de la Marina Jared Holt a CBS News. “Era algo que, cada vez que entraba en la entrada de la casa, miraba y sabía que era un gasto muy grande que se acercaba para mí y mi familia”. 

Un vecino nominó a Jared y su familia para recibir un techo nuevo, y la empresa local Roof One, parte de la familia Bone Dry Roofing, les ofreció el regalo sin costo alguno. 

Steve McCusker, fundador y propietario de Roof One, creció en un hogar militar y entendía el valor de la comunidad y el cuidado hacia quienes han servido. Su equipo de 22 personas se aseguró de que la familia de Holt sintiera ese apoyo. “Nos quita un gasto enorme para el que estábamos ahorrando, así que ahora quizá podamos usar un pequeño porcentaje de lo que estábamos guardando y tener unas fiestas realmente agradables”, dijo Jared. 

South Hadley, Massachusetts 

El veterano de la Marina de EE. UU. Leo Pilares ganó el sorteo AQ Cares Veteran Roof Giveaway 2025, una iniciativa anual de Adam Quenneville Roofing & Siding en asociación con GAF. El concurso invitó a los miembros de la comunidad a leer historias sobre el servicio y las contribuciones de los veteranos locales, y la de Leo destacó, obteniendo la mayor cantidad de votos. 

“La historia de Leo realmente nos conmovió”, dijo Morgan Bennett, directora de marketing y desarrollo en Adam Quenneville Roofing & Siding, a WWLP-22News. “Él representa la fuerza silenciosa y el desinterés que definen a tantos de nuestros veteranos. Poder brindarle a él y a su familia un techo seguro no se trata solo de techado. Se trata de gratitud, estabilidad y devolver algo a alguien que ha dado tanto”. 

Missoula, Montana 

Justo a tiempo para la temporada navideña, el veterano de la Marina Cliff Martin y su esposa, Kathleen, recibieron un techo nuevo de Mighty Dog Roofing en asociación con el Roof Deployment Project de Owens Corning. 

“No sabíamos cómo íbamos a lograr conseguir un techo nuevo, y habíamos estado explorando todas las opciones”,dijo Kathleen Martin a MTN News. “Nos dijeron que tenían un programa, aplicamos y fuimos seleccionados. Estamos muy agradecidos”. 

Como veterano, el propietario de Mighty Dog, Nick Whitehead, también se sintió agradecido de poder servir. “Estar en posición, como veterano, de dar a otro veterano — sin duda, lo mejor de todo”, dijo Whitehead. 

Latham, Nueva York 

Finalmente, en Latham, Nueva York, otro proyecto de despliegue de techos de Owens Corning alegró el día a un veterano. Michael Szesnat Sr., un veterano discapacitado del Cuerpo de Marines, y su esposa, Deborah, fueron los beneficiarios de un techo construido por Pinnacle Roofing en asociación con Purple Heart Homes. 

Después de que un amigo de la iglesia investigara el programa Purple Heart Homes y se diera cuenta de que calificaban, Michael y Deborah recibieron la ayuda que necesitaban. “Lo había estado posponiendo”, dijo Deborah a NEWS10. “Hemos tenido algunos problemas, y he estado tratando de ahorrar para repararlo, pero descubrí que había que reemplazarlo. Eso fue hace dos o tres años, así que llegó en el momento perfecto. Realmente lo aprecio muchísimo”. 

Con techos nuevos, las cuatro familias pudieron disfrutar la temporada navideña, seguras y cálidas en sus hogares, gracias a la amabilidad y generosidad de la comunidad de techado.

Enjoy these heartwarming stories of roofing companies giving back to veterans in their communities.  

It’s truly been a season of giving in the roofing world over the last few months. From Michigan and Montana to Massachusetts and New York, these four roofing companies selflessly spent time and resources providing roofs free of charge for veterans in their communities.  

Waterford, Michigan 

“My roof was just really old,” Marine Veteran Jared Holt shared with CBS News. “It was something that, every time I pulled into the driveway, I looked at and knew it was this really large expense that was coming for me and my family." 

One kind neighbor nominated Jared and his family for a new roof, and local roofing company Roof One, part of the Bone Dry Roofing family, offered the gift of a new roof, free of charge.  

Steve McCusker, founder and owner of Roof One, grew up in a military household and understood the value of community and care for servicepeople. His crew of 22 people ensured that Jared’s family felt that support. "It takes a massive expense that we were in the process of saving for, so now we maybe can take a small percentage of that that we were saving and have a really nice holiday,” Jared said.  

South Hadley, Massachusetts 

U.S. Navy Veteran Leo Pilares won the 2025 AQ Cares Veteran Roof Giveaway, an annual initiative from Adam Quenneville Roofing & Siding in partnership with GAF. The contest invited community members to read stories about local veterans’ service and ongoing contributions to their communities, and Leo’s stood out, garnering the most votes.  

“Leo’s story really struck a chord with all of us,” Morgan Bennett, marketing and development director at Adam Quenneville Roofing & Siding, told WWLP-22News. “He represents the quiet strength and selflessness that defines so many of our veterans. Being able to provide him and his family with a safe, secure roof isn’t just about roofing. It’s about gratitude, stability and giving back to someone who’s given so much.” 

Missoula, Montana 

Just in time for the holiday season, Marine Veteran Cliff Martin and his wife Kathleen received a new roof from Might Dog Roofing in partnership with Owens Corning’s Roof Deployment Project.  

“We didn't know how we were going to manage to get a new roof, and we had been exploring all different avenues,” Kathleen Martin told MTN News. “They told us they had a program, and we applied and we were selected. We are very grateful.” 

As a veteran himself, Mighty Dog owner Nick Whitehead was equally grateful to be of service. "Being in a position as a veteran to give to another veteran — hands down the best thing ever," Nick said.  

Latham, New York 

Finally, in Latham, New York, another Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project made one veteran’s day. Michael Szesnat, Sr., a disabled Marine Corps veteran, and his wife Deborah were the recipients of a roof built by Pinnacle Roofing in partnership with Purple Heart Homes.  

After a church friend did some research into the Purple Heart Homes program, realizing they qualified, Michael and Deborah got the help they needed. “I’ve been putting it off,” Deborah told NEWS10. “We’ve had some problems, and I’ve been trying to save to have it fixed but learned it had to be replaced. That was two or three years ago, so it was perfect timing. I really appreciate this so much.” 

With new roofs, all four families were able to enjoy the holiday season, safe and warm in their homes, all thanks to the kindness and generosity of the roofing community.

Enjoy this heartwarming story of two roofing companies giving back to a veteran in need of a new roof.  

Bone Dry Roofing and Owens Corning have had a long supplier-contractor relationship. This past summer, they teamed up for a different kind of partnership.  

For three years, Army veteran Timothy Nichols saved up for a new roof for his home in Lexington, Kentucky. “It got to the point where there's almost more patches than solid roof,” Timothy told LEX18. “We knew that it was getting close, and we were hoping that we had saved enough to cover the roof.” 

Their AC unit, however, had other plans.  

“Literally a day before Bone Dry Roofing came out to give me a quote or an estimate on the roof, our AC went out,” Timothy shared. “That basically ate up our savings for what we were planning on doing for a roof.” 

Thankfully, the team at Bone Dry Roofing told Timothy about Owens Corning’s Roof Deployment Project, which provides free roof replacements for veterans. Kelly Street of Owens Corning told WKYT, “We love to give back to veterans who have sacrificed so much for our country; it’s a small way that we can show appreciation.” 

Owens Corning supplied the materials and Bone Dry Roofing supplied the labor for Timothy’s roof replacement, which would have cost $12,000 to $13,000. “We try to do one a year,” Jade Marsh, general manager of Bone Dry Roofing, said. “We've been successful for I think the last four years finding a candidate that was deserving and in need of a new roof.” 

“Good stuff like this just doesn't happen to me,” Timothy expressed. “It couldn’t have happened at a better time. We just really needed a win.”

Bone Dry Roofing Company founder shares his story and the core values behind the business in this special podcast. 

In the March R-Club Roofer of the Month podcast episode, host Megan Ellsworth sat down with Travis Webb, cofounder of Bone Dry Roofing Company, to discuss the brand’s backstory and the core values they keep in running the business. Since 2003, Bone Dry Roofing has served customers across the South with quality roofing solutions.  

Over the years, the company has certainly found a specialty, helping customers with multi-slope needs. Travis shared, “We were a big resource for people with multi-slope roof projects. When we were doing work with different educational and institutional groups and a lot of work with universities across the southeast and colleges, we got involved and used industry contacts, et cetera to find professionals in each of the different facets of roofing so that we could be a one-stop shop for some of the general contractors for our end users. And it has been a niche for us to provide that service.” 

In addition to being a go-to provider for multi-slope needs, Bone Dry Roofing is proud to pursue their core passions: investing in partnerships and a commitment to excellence in all that they do. When asked about these core values and why customers should work with their company, Travis explained that much of it is about the communication and respect given to those within the company and the customers.  

Travis shared, “Communication is so vital to everything. Inter-office communication, especially with our customers, it's hard to overcommunicate. ‘Hey, we're on our way. We wanted to let you know we'll be there.’ ‘Hey, if you call us in the middle of the night and we have the ability to, at least we're going to communicate back to you. Send somebody out there just so that we're always a resource.’ I think that that's probably the biggest thing we try to focus on is just always stay in touch and have a relationship with everybody, both in the company and outside of it.”

Megan Ellsworth: Hello everyone. My name is Megan Ellsworth here at rooferscoffeeshop.com, and I am so excited. I am back for a roofer of the Month podcast and it's the roofer of the month for March. And I'm here with Travis Webb of Bone Dry Roofing. So, hi Travis.

Travis Webb: Hello, Megan. Thank you.

Megan Ellsworth: Yes, so glad to have you here and really honored to bestow the roofer of the month onto Bone Dry and everything y'all do. So congratulations.

Travis Webb: Yeah, thank you. We're happy for the whole team.

Megan Ellsworth: Yay. Okay, so let's just dive right in and I'll have you introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about Bone Dry.

Travis Webb: Okay. My name is Travis Webb. We started Bone Dry Roofing Company back in 2003 and quickly after, well I say quickly, about five years later we opened our main office in Athens, Georgia. Did a lot of work with the university. We both, Chad Collins, who was my business partner for 20 years, we were both alumni at University of Georgia. So it just made sense. Did a lot of work with them, primarily low slope commercial work and then integrated into other avenues as well, both steep slope and really all types of roofing. So we went down and opened the St. Simon's Island office down in the Golden Isles down there and do a lot of tile work down there as well on the coast. And then we opened Charleston about nine years ago. So Charleston, South Carolina. So those are the kind of triangle I run between and we've got offices in each of those locations.

Megan Ellsworth: Wow, that's amazing. Three locations. That's incredible. So you talked about low slope, you talked about tile. What would you say are your primary services that you provide? What would you say is your specialty?

Travis Webb: It's funny we talk about that. As far as a specialty, one of the biggest things we saw is that we were a big resource for people with a multi scope, multi roof scope. When we were doing work with different educational and institutional and a lot of work with universities across the southeast and colleges and that we were able to provide instead of just, "Hey, we'll handle your low slope." We got involved and used industry contacts, et cetera to find professionals in each of the different facets of roofing so that we could be a one-stop shop for some of the general contractors for our end users. And it really has been kind of a niche for us to be able to provide that service.

As well as in our three locations, we do have a lot of differences in the type of roofing we do. Down on our St. Simon's and Sea Island office it's a lot of tile work that we just don't see that much of in the Atlanta market. And then slate and copper and some of the historic restoration in the Charleston market. So we kind of had to build a team that was capable of handling just about anything from metal to slate, tile, shake, low slope of all kinds from modified TPOs, so we've really built a team to fill in each of those components. So to say we have a specialty is that we're able to handle just about any of their needs, including even residential shingles.

Megan Ellsworth: Yeah, wow. I mean that's a great specialty to have, to be able to pivot and just help your customers. That's great.

Travis Webb: Thank you.

Megan Ellsworth: So, share something special that your company celebrates. It can be actual holidays, birthdays, or it could be a certain company culture. What does Bone Dry celebrate?

Travis Webb: I think the biggest thing we celebrate is our people and among each other. We do take family very serious. We do have a very lucrative, I should say, holiday schedule. We give people time off for their families at quite a few celebrated holidays. Some that others may not even take, but I think we celebrate each other a lot and the fact we have traction meetings we hold every week. And a big part of that is a shout out. Shout outs to the different people. Always doing shout outs for our guys in the field because we say we're all there to support them.\

For myself all the way across the company that really where the guys on the roof, our technicians are the ones that really create the experience and we are all there to support them. So we have lunches and things like that to celebrate them and of course at holidays, but even amongst back and forth between whether it's estimators or production or techs in the field or administrative help in the office, all of that team is important. Every piece of it has to be doing their job right for us to have a successful project for our customers. And so we shout out a lot. We celebrate those wins, whether it's a win on a job or it was just that we got some good feedback from a customer, or we just put on a job that when we stepped back we were really proud of it, we celebrate within the company every single week. During our meetings we do headlines and that's where we like to celebrate that.

Megan Ellsworth: I love that. And that makes work so fun. And people want to show up to work and do a good job. I know just being an employee myself, it's nice to be appreciated and it's nice to have fun at work and really be able to show up and be in a happy good spirit.

Travis Webb: Yep. Support each other. We spend a lot of time at work, so see that family at work and when you see the family at home. So I'll make sure that everybody stays as happy as they can.

Megan Ellsworth: Yeah, absolutely. How would you define superior customer service?

Travis Webb: I think something we talk about here all the time and how crucial it is, and it sounds cliche and everything, but the communication is all of it. And really having these relationships with our customers. And it is, we just mentioned you spend so much time at work that literally between the industry and our customers, those who have become my lifelong friends. And when you can do that, I think across a lot of our best customer relationships that we've had over 20 years, those are people that I've traveled with. Those are people that I know their families and it's just if you have that relationship that's that strong to where you don't want to let them down, and it's not just, "Hey, here. We do your roof, you give us money." And that's all the transaction is.

It's that communication is so vital to everything. Inter-office communication, especially with our customers, it's hard to over communicate. "Hey, we're on our way. We wanted to let you know we'll be there." "Hey, if you call us in the middle of the night and we have the ability to, at least we're going to communicate back to you. Send somebody out there just so that we're always a resource." I think that that's probably the biggest thing we try to focus on is just always stay in touch and have a relationship with everybody, both in the company and outside of it.

Megan Ellsworth: Absolutely. Yeah, I mean that's a great answer. Well said.

Travis Webb: I'm doing all right so far.

Megan Ellsworth: Yeah, you're doing great. 10 out of 10.

Travis Webb: Thank you. It's about time.

Megan Ellsworth: Amazing. So why should home or building owners work with Bone Dry?

Travis Webb: I think it is kind of a two part. I mean, but they're really the same. But I always look at when we talk about homeowners, the homeowners is a totally different situation in some ways than a building.

Megan Ellsworth: So true.

Travis Webb: Even if I looked at, "Okay, if it's building that we own and we operate out of." It's very important to me and it needs to be safe and it needs to be a good environment. It's just not as personal as your house is. So there's different things that sometimes homeowners, they count on us and they know our reputation and they've done their research and we have the professionals to put on an excellent roof system. They don't know always if they're just standing there looking at it, if it looks good, then it probably is good. But if their grounds are kept up, their families, their kids, their wife, husband, whoever may be at home is how we keep the grounds and how we communicate with them and how clean we keep it, how neat we keep it, how much we protect their stuff.

So it's their possessions, their plants, their deck, everything is, that's a big thing that we try to instill. We're going to treat every one of those jobs like it was our house. How would we want our family to perceive that project? And it's a big deal. On a building, we look at it as, "Hey, we got to keep you doing exactly." We don't mess up your workday. You got to still be able to work." We realize that noise, anything we can do to can create safe entrance and exits to the building. And just keeping in mind that they've still got to operate their business while we're doing a pretty invasive project if we're re-roofing the whole building.

So it's just being aware of all that is a successful project as they notice you as little as you can and you make the experience one where they're just like, "Wow, we would recommend you to anybody, to our friends, our family." That's the goal when we leave there is that they're like, "That was such a good experience. It's not pleasant. It's not going to be like it is if we're not onsite, but that they would recommend us when it's done." And that whole experience is not just that the roof doesn't leak, obviously, but that the whole experience was really a good one.

Megan Ellsworth: Yeah, I mean, and going back to it, that's superior customer service. Absolutely. Making sure that you're treating the home as if it is your home. I love that. So we only have two questions left. Crazy. One question I have for you is why are you an Art club member and what is your favorite thing about being an Art club member?

Travis Webb: I think we've talked so much. We've been involved in national within RCA and even local and served in roles. We've had a lot of us that have served in roles on state associations and both South Carolina and Georgia and the markets we're in. And through it all, and I'm getting back to Roofer's Coffee Shop, but it's one of the most valuable things. And one thing that one day when I hang up my hat long from now would be, I love the industry itself. It's a great industry. We just got back from the IRE and it's just the opportunity to interact with the people that are doing, they're out there doing the same thing we're doing, but when we have interaction like with Roofer's Coffee Shop, and you get to see how somebody does it, no matter how good you think you've tried to figure things out, you always learn something new.

And it's always great to hear somebody else's perspective and be able to cheer those victories and some of the trials of just, "How do we make ourselves better?" And even when you get on there and you use a resource like Roofer's Coffee Shop, it's, "What can I learn?" And also, "What can I leave?" I mean, I think it's only fair if you're going to try to take a good idea or take some interaction with the people in the industry that you hopefully leave something as well and that we can all learn from each other because good competition is great for all of us. And it's whereas poor as not. And I think the quality and level of people that care enough about their industry and care enough about what they're doing is what you see when you're involved in this. And kudos to y'all because you don't hear anything but positive.

Must be nice to be, you don't ever have to get anything but good feedback. But even as we talk amongst our industry, it's a great resource and it's just a good feeling to know that everybody's on the same page, that we just all want to get better and see the industry grow. And yeah, big thumbs up to that. And that's why we were honored that y'all asked us for this month because our whole team is part of this is just, I happen to be the one speaking, but as far as it's our whole group that really appreciates this. And once again, one more thing for us to cheer together.

Megan Ellsworth: Yes, absolutely. One more thing to celebrate. And I know for a fact everyone here at Roofer's Coffee Shop is so happy and honored that you are the roofer of the month for March 2024. So congratulations. It's very well deserved.

Travis Webb: Thank you. Thank you.

Megan Ellsworth: Okay, so lastly, this is my favorite question. What would your walkup song be? So you're walking out onto a field, what would that song playing be?

Travis Webb: Wow, the other questions were actually fairly easy. It's what we do every day. So your favorite question may be my least, What would my walkup song be? Well, I got to give you some kind of cheesy answer. We were just talking about how this time period across the country, we were just on a national call and we were talking about how it was a very dry season. So service work had kind of dried up and now we've seen an influx of rain across the country and that helps service departments and reveals issues and stuff that we can help people with. So my cheesy answer is "Blame It on the Rain." How about that little Milli Vanilli?

Megan Ellsworth: I love that.

Travis Webb: Yeah, that's strong. I'll get a lot of great feedback for that one. But I'm a country fan. I like all sorts of classic music and I decided I'd pick Milli Vanilli. But 'Blame It on the Rain'.

Megan Ellsworth: I love that. A lot of people's songs haven't been related to roofing at all, and that's great too. But I love that you chose that song. That's perfect.

Travis Webb: Feel free to edit that part of the interview out if you want to at the end.

Megan Ellsworth: No, we're keeping it. Awesome. Well, Travis, thank you so much for chatting with me.

Travis Webb: Yeah, thank you.

Megan Ellsworth: And congratulations.

Travis Webb: We appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Megan Ellsworth: Awesome.

Travis Webb: Hope you have a good weekend and hope that somebody takes something away from what I said other than the final question.

Megan Ellsworth: I think absolutely someone will take some good nuggets away from this, and I hope everyone goes and listens to your walkup song.
