Roman’s Roofing’s eternal battle against the ravages of wind and water is waged with wisdom and a tireless spirit.
Left to right back row: Roman, Sarah, Dominik, John, Brent, Jeremy, and Robyn.
Front row: Malachi and Nikol.
Roman and Sarah of Roman’s Roofing remind us water and wind are pretty amazing forces. And we’ve had plenty of both this season. From mountain tops to rooftops wind blows debris into chinks and wears down surfaces. Water finds its way into the trickle-y cracks that debris begins to fill.
The longer things are exposed, the more water has its way. That’s why the Appalachians are smoother than the more recent-glaciated Rockies. They’ve been exposed to weather a couple of hundred million years longer.
Of course, your roof is more like one decade old, not a gazillion, but as JFK reminds us: Maintenance is the key to keeping shelter, belongings, and the things we love safe.
Roman’s Roofing is the area’s go-to protector for rooftop armament. And, while the company rarely speaks of its service to community, in this day and age, it’s nice to hear about good deeds our neighborhood business owners bestow when we’re not looking.
Being in the region a quarter century, Roman knows the terrain and history. One of Roman’s Roofing’s recent charitable acts served a community’s iconic tiny building, the Grimshaw’s Post Office, a mere 7’x 8’ structure built in the 1800s. That’s practically a blanket-size covering, but, like any other roof, it has to be maintained. Roman set about, on his own time and out of his own pocket, to replace that historic building’s venerable crown.
In addition, Roman donated other roofing services to projects for the Summit Charter School, REACH, Wounded Warriors, and more charitable rooftop repairs/replacements.
Why does he do it? He and Sarah feel blessed in the community with so many loyal customers over the years. They wanted to return the kindness.
In closing, a reminder to patrons. “While the sun is shining, let us help keep your roof happy with biennial debris removal, inspections (for homeowners or realtors), repairs, and updates on roof replacement with asphalt, shakes, synthetics, slate, and other coverings in a wide variety of colors.
