Providing Free Roofs for Veterans in Need

At Universal Roofing Solutions, we believe the people who served our country deserve support, respect, and a safe place to call home. That's why we created our Veterans Roof Program, an initiative focused on helping local veterans who are struggling with unsafe or damaged roofing.

Through donations, partnerships, and community support, we aim to provide deserving veterans with safe, reliable roofing at little to no cost.

A Local Story That Inspired Us

Walter's Story

One project especially meaningful to our team was helping a Burlington veteran named Walter. At 93 years old, Walter has lived in the same home with his wife for 47 years. As a Korean War veteran, his service and commitment to our country deserve lasting recognition and gratitude.

Our team stepped in to donate all labor and complete a full roof replacement at no cost. The opportunity to support Walter and his family is exactly what this program is about, giving back to those who have given so much.
