Local Roofers Elite Roofing & Solar Help Out with Habitat Home
At Elite Roofing & Solar, we aim to stay true to our values as local roofers in Denver. A major part of what we do is our motto, “Roofing Done Right,” but that extends beyond the roofing work we do and into how we operate as a company.
As a roofing company with deep roots in our community, we’re always looking for ways to give back to the place that has given us so much. Habitat for Humanity is a great organization and provided our team with an amazing opportunity to do just that. Learn more about how our team participated in this homebuilding project!
Volunteering for the American Dream
The classic vision of the “American Dream” includes a house with a family and a picket fence. Habitat for Humanity aims to help struggling families reach the goal of having a home of their own, with volunteers chipping in to lend their time building different portions of each house.
Our crew was up to the task! During our time volunteering, the organizers actually had our team building fences for two different homes that were under construction. Our team dug the holes, planted the stakes, and installed the pickets at these two houses, helping to give the entire property a more complete look.
Getting the Whole Team Involved
It’s said that it takes a village to raise a child, but in the case of Habitat for Humanity, it also takes a village to build a home. Luckily at Elite Roofing & Solar, our team has grown substantially over the years, and we were able to send several volunteers out for this project. Team members Cody Hayes, Randy Brothers, Morgan Dillon, Eddy Shoots, Doug DuLac, Bobby McAfee, Yannet Velez, and Jazmin Soto all contributed to this project.
For many of our team members, working with power tools was nothing new, as several volunteers have spent years working on roofing projects. Others from our in-house office staff, however, hadn’t had much experience and got to learn throughout the process.
“It was a great opportunity for hands-on learning,” said Elite Roofing & Solar co-owner Cody Hayes. “We also gained new skills in fencing, which made the experience even more rewarding.”
Community involvement is a core value at Elite Roofing & Solar. While we regularly contribute gifts and monetary donations, this year we wanted to go beyond that by donating our time and skills to make a more direct impact.
A Worthy Organization
Habitat for Humanity is one of the country’s most well-known volunteer organizations. Founded in 1976, Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to “bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope.” They do so by building and repairing homes across the country and even some abroad, including in Canada, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and more.
With a presence in all 50 states, Habitat for Humanity is widely available for individuals across the country to volunteer and has built or repaired over 40 million homes, including more than 800,000 new builds.
Consider Supporting Your Local Habitat for Humanity Chapter
The Habitat for Humanity chapter here in Denver has been very successful, and we’ve been glad to volunteer for them several times over the years. “We always look forward to stepping out of the office and taking on new and meaningful challenges as a team,” said Hayes.
Habitat for Humanity makes for a great team- and community-building experience. We highly recommend getting involved with their organization, as they do great work and are always looking for another set of hands.
As Local Roofers, Elite Roofing & Solar Supports Our Community
Our community has given us so much here at Elite Roofing & Solar, both as a successful business and as individuals who call the Denver area home. Given our values of Faith, Family, Honesty, and Integrity, giving back is just part of who we are. We were glad to participate in this project and we hope to continue making an impact throughout our community.
