The Roofing Alliance is looking to\ncomplete their mission of adopting 165 stand-alone Ronald McDonald Houses\nthroughout the U.S. Lead by Rod Petrick, chairperson of the Roofing Alliance, the\ngoal of inspecting, repairing, maintaining and replacing these roofs is within\nreach and will impact families with sick children across the country by keeping\nthem together when they need it most. Numerous\nroofing professionals have already risen to the challenge by adopting 156 of\nthe roofs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In April of 2017, the Roofing Alliance\nbegan working with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) by supporting their\nefforts to help families with critically ill children stay together and near\nthe hospitals providing them medical care. Ronald\nMcDonald Houses provide private sleeping rooms, meals, and opportunities for\nfamilies to interact as they go through difficult times. Through sponsorship funds and the adoption of\nthe roofs of the 165 stand-alone Ronald McDonald Houses in the U.S., the\nRoofing Alliance has brought together roofing professionals and companies who\ndonate their time and talents to provide regular roof system inspections,\nmaintenance, repairs and replacements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re asking our partners to inspect the\nroofs and report back to us on the condition of the roof, the roofing system\ncurrently in place, the estimated life expectancy, anticipated and actual work\nto be done, and the dollar value of the in-kind labor and materials provided or\navailable. Once we receive the information, we enter it into our database. We want to maintain as much history as\npossible on the roofing systems for each house,\u201d said Petrick, owner of\nRidgeworth Roofing, Frankfort, Ill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
