GAF, A-Team Construction & ABC Supply Team Up to Roof Local Heroes

Skip Varley, a local service member currently serving with the 34th Military Police Company as a squad leader and a full-time human resources officer, and Phil Hammond, a veteran who has been serving in the Army National Guard for 11 years recently received brand new roofs from GAF, A-Team Construction, ABC Supply and Haven for Heroes.

Three years ago, Varley experienced a devastating house fire that destroyed his home and all of his personal belongings. While insurance covered the cost of interior reconstruction, they did not address the damaged roof, which resulted in ongoing leaks and further interior damage. Varley found himself in a challenging position and unable to afford the necessary roof repairs on his own.

Hammond and his wife were facing a similar predicament with their home’s roof: significant water damage had led to ongoing roof issues. With the mounting costs of addressing both the roof problems and the resulting interior damage, the Hammonds found themselves in a difficult financial situation, unable to fund the extensive repairs on their own ahead of the impending winter. 

Fortunately, A-Team Construction partnered with Haven for Heroes, a volunteer-driven organization dedicated to helping veterans like Varley and Hammond, GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and ABC Supply, a leader in supplying and serving contractors, to resolve the longstanding issues, ensuring both Varley and Hammond have safe, dry homes once again.

“As roofing professionals, it’s our responsibility to give back to the brave service members who protect our community. We take great pride in donating our labor to provide quality roofs to service members and veterans, ensuring that those who have served our country receive the support and shelter they deserve,” said Mike Swafford, Owner of A-Team Construction. 

A-Team Construction donated the installation labor, ABC Supply donated project materials and GAF donated the roofing materials. This collaboration is part of GAF’s social impact initiative, GAF Community Matters, which is focused on making a positive difference as neighbors and partners in the community by leveraging roofing expertise, resources and products to help build resilient communities.
