GAF Donates 10 Roofs to Twin Cities Habitat In 2013

The team of GAF’s partnering certified contractors include: All American Restoration, Garlock French Roofing Corporation, Krech Exteriors, Roof Company NA, Inc. and Springer Construction Services. They will provide pro-bono labor, installing roofs alongside Twin Cities Habitat volunteers.

GAF Regional Manager Lance Hoaglund feels partnerships with organizations like Twin Cities Habitat are central to the way the company does business in the community. "We are American made, American owned, and support any way we can contribute to the betterment of our country," Lance said. "With numerous programs from the largest and most well know, Habitat for Humanity, to Roofs for Troops or No Roof Left Behind, all these programs help build a better community and give back to people in need."

In-kind donations of materials and services are a vital part of Twin Cities Habitat's mission to preserve affordable homeownership in our community. In-Kind and Pro-Bono partners cut project costs and help build more homes each year.
