Latest Arry’s “No Roof Left Behind” Winner Announced

Sandy winnerNovember 1, 2014 is another very special day for Arry’s Roofing Services. It’s the day that we will be installing a new roof for Sandra Hawley of Largo! Sandy is the latest winner in our No Roof Left Behind promotion. Previous winners of a free Arry’s roof include Linda Hunsinger of Saint Petersburg and Cody Hughes of Tampa.

No Roof Left Behind is a national grassroots effort dedicated to helping communities provide assistance to local homeowners who have fallen on hard times. Residents nominate someone that they believe is deserving of a free roof by submitting a story and pictures of the needy roof. The public then votes for the winner, and a local contractor provides the manpower to perform the installation. As a certified No Roof Left Behind installer, Arry’s Roofing is pleased to donate our time and expertise to serve our fellow community members.

Sandy was nominated by her daughter for the No Roof Left Behind program. Currently Sandy is in danger of losing her home on 13th Avenue Southwest due to lack of homeowner’s insurance – which she does not qualify for because of the poor condition of her roof. She is a three-time cancer survivor, a mother to many, and is currently raising two grandchildren.

Sandy was one of four finalists selected by a committee of volunteers. Voting by local residents took place online from September 20 through October 19, 2014. Matthew Housh, Vice President of Arry’s Roofing, looks forward to assisting in the effort to make Sandy’s home a better place to live. “We’re very happy for Sandy. She has had many challenges yet has always been willing to help others in need. It’s her turn to get a helping hand.”

An Installation Celebration will take place on November 1st beginning at 8:00AM, when our Largo FL roofers will be on-site to begin the replacement process. This will be family-friendly neighborhood event, and all are welcome to attend! We also welcome the participation of local businesses and community members as sponsors or volunteers. To find out more about this event or No Roof Left Behind, call Arry’s Roofing today at (727) 279-5001.

Four Finalists Announced in Arry’s Roofing’s Latest “No Roof Left Behind” Campaign

Arry's finalistsArry’s Roofing Services is pleased to announce that four finalists have been selected in our latest No Roof Left Behind campaign. No Roof Left Behind is a nationwide program that is specially designed to help communities organize and rally around a local family in need. This will be the third roof installed by Arry’s Roofing as part of this unique community outreach program, and is valued at between $12,000 and $15,000. Past winners include Linda Hunsinger of Saint Petersburg and Cody Hughes of Tampa.

Read more about the finalists:

“Happy rats eviction!” Tarpon Springs, FL. Kathie nominated her friend, Maria, for a free roof. Kathie says Maria is a struggling mother of two teen boys who works multiple jobs to keep her home. Her roof has been leaking for a year, creating mold in the bedrooms. Rats and other animals live under the roof, and the gaps in the roof have led to huge A/C bills. Kathie worries that a hurricane will level a house with such a rotten roof, and would love to give Maria a special gift for her birthday on December 1st.

“Keeping the roof over sandy,” Largo, FL. Sandy’s daughter says her 76-year-old mother has raised 12 children, adopted several others and is currently raising two of her grandchildren because their mother fell into drugs. She has survived three different cancers and is still taking chemo pills for her breast cancer. There are multiple places in Sandy’s house that gush water when it rains, and some places you can see straight to the outside. She is now in jeopardy of losing her house due to lack of homeowner’s insurance which she cannot maintain because of the roof’s poor condition.

“A Single Male Needs Help too,” Clearwater, FL. This 60-year-old, hard-working single veteran was nominated by his brother. He has never had much money, but is always among the first to help someone else in need. His roof is 50 years old and has reached the end of its life expectancy. Without new Clearwater roofing, he cannot maintain insurance which is mandatory to keep his mortgage. His brother worries that this will cause a downward spiral of events from which he will not be able to recover.

“Tarpon Springs couple needs a roof,” Tarpon Springs, FL. These neighbors do not qualify for assistance programs, but still need help. Both are disabled, and recent increases in healthcare insurance costs have cut their income by $800 each month. They have tried to patch their leaking roof but it continues to leak during heavy rains.

To vote for a finalist, please visit our No Roof Left Behind page. Voting is open through October 19th, and a winner will be revealed on October 24th. An installation celebration is scheduled for November 1st. “Having a community come together in behalf of a family in need is what makes promos like No Roof Left Behind really worth it,” says Matthew Housh, Vice President of Arry’s Roofing.

Arry Housh Debuts New eBook to Help Homeowners Find a Qualified Roofing Contractor

arrys-bookIt’s here! For all those who wish they had a “magic solution” to help them find a trustworthy roofing company that can provide a superior product and expert installation – without stress, uncertainty and fear – those answers can now be found in one place. James “Arry” Housh, president of Arry’s Roofing, has worked nearly four decades in the roofing industry and has successfully completed roofing projects for thousands of clients in and around the Tampa Bay area. Arry is now sharing his many years of expertise in a new ebook, The Informed Consumer’s Guide to a Successful Roofing Project.

“I’ve come to a point where I am sick and tired of watching good people get ripped off – or taken advantage of – by inexperienced, unethical contractors,” Arry explains in the foreword to his new book. “It seems lately, more than ever, my clients and prospects have told me they wish they had information about how to hire the right roofing contractor before they actually went out looking for one. So I decided to compile my extensive experience into this informative book.”

Arry continues, “I want to take you ‘behind the scenes’ and help you choose the right contractor for your roofing project with insider information, advice and education that 99% of homeowners don’t have. You can’t get much more expert, insider information than from someone with my 38 years of experience and background. If you follow the guidelines in this book, I’m confident you’ll find someone you’ll be pleased with.”

The book is divided into four sections, each covering a different aspect of finding a reliable and professional contractor.

Section 1: “Repair or Replace: Is it Really Time for a New Roof?”
Learn about the exterior and interior signs that you need a new roof or roof repair, and how to use cost vs. value estimates to make the right decision.

Section 2: “So You’ve Decided You Need a New Roof: What Type of Roof is Best for You?”
Learn about the different types of roofing materials available to you and basic roofing terms that will help you communicate effectively with prospective contractors.

Section 3: “Misconceptions, Mistakes and Rip-Offs”
Find out key questions to ask that will differentiate great contractors from part-timers and those who don’t have your best interest in mind, plus the two biggest rip-offs unethical contractors get away with.

Section 4: “How to Select the Roofing Contractor That’s Right for You”
After you narrow down the field, find out things to ask for that will ensure you’re hiring a quality, trustworthy contractor.

Whether you choose to do business with Arry’s Roofing or another qualified contractor, the information Arry has included in The Informed Consumer’s Guide to a Successful Roofing Project will show you how to avoid the frustration that so many homeowners endure when they undertake a roof replacement project. We know you’ll find his suggestions useful!

Tampa Roofers Announce No Roof Left Behind Winner

The latest edition of No Roof Left Behind in Pinellas County has come to the big moment of revealing the winning homeowner. After weeks of voting, our winning entry came from Tampa’s Cody Hughes. The announcement came this morning, April 18, and we’re excited to share the news with every member of the Arry’s Roofing family.

Mr. Hughes was among four finalists selected out of dozens of nominees and his story about needing a dry place to bring baby to from a neonatal intensive care unit in the area moved a lot of people. The Deep Creek Lane resident shared the story on the No Roof Left Behind page as part of his nomination. If you didn’t get a chance to read it, take a moment to do so below.

Two years ago, Citizens said they wouldn’t be renewing my policy. I’ve owned the home for 2.5 years. Cancellation resulted in bank taking out their own policy which costs $500-$600 more per month,for less coverage. We could barely save for the roof due to higher mortgage cost. Then our daughter was born. Unfortunately, she was born with her intestines outside her body(gastroschisis)which required immediate surgery, and currently, she is in her 2nd month stay in the newborn intensive-care unit, covered in sensors&feeding tubes. Her immune system is compromised, and our saved money is gone to hospital bills, which will not be enough to cover 1/4 of it. Final bill projected over $25,000. I cannot bring our poor girl home to this moldy, allergy -filled environment. In addition to patches, there is a 15×15 section that fell though(patched),over her room and the other side of the house will fall soon!

The family won’t have to wait long for the new roof. Arry’s Roofing has scheduled the installation for Saturday May 3 with an 8 am start time. You’re invited, too. We welcome you to join us at 15827 Deep Creek Lane, Tampa, FL 33624 for the celebration. Of course, we won’t ask you to do any heavy lifting. Just come, meet the family, show your support, and enjoy the experience.

While this edition of No Roof Left Behind is drawing to a close, there’s much more you can do to get involved. When you visit the page with the winning entry, you’ll notice below the installation address a question that asks, “Your Favorite Didn’t Win?” To the right of it, you’ll see two buttons that allow you to either participate in future events or make a donation. If you wish you donate on the local level, contact Arry’s Roofing to get started. You can also make a donation on the national level.

Once again, we congratulate our latest No Roof Left Behind winner in Pinellas County. Arry’s Roofing looks forward to the big installation day on May 3. We hope to see as many of you out there, if only for a short visit.

Save the Date for the No Roof Left Behind Installation Party

The Saturday following Halloween this year is an important day for Arry’s Roofing and one lucky homeowner in Tampa Bay. November 2 has been set aside at the day for the installation party at the home of Linda Hunsinger of St. Petersburg, the winner of the free roof in the No Roof Left Behind promotion. We’ll be there, and we invite our friends, neighbors, and customers to be a part of a spectacular event.

Saturday of Joy

As part of the celebration, we’re planning some terrific kid-friendly attractions, including a Bounce House. We also plan to serve hot and cold treats, including pizza from Hungry Howie’s and Blue Bell Ice Cream. The promotion has already generated media coverage locally—including a mention in the East Lake Neighborhood News—and we expect to have even more with radio and TV crews joining us that day.

As we get closer to the big day, we’ll have more details to share with you, including the time of the celebration. In the meantime, we ask you to set aside November 2 as a time to join us for this special occasion for Linda and the Arry’s Roofing family.

Linda was among four finalists for the free roof after making the cut down from more than 100 nominees at the beginning of August. The mother of three mentioned explained in her original entry that the roof on her 40-year-old home is falling apart and lost a lot of shingles in last year’s tropical storms. Soon that issue will be history, and we enjoyed reading her reaction to being named the winner.

“Words can not explain how I am feeling at this moment. Our family is so blessed! I could have NOT done this without all the love, support and votes from my family, friends, friends of my friends, and my community. WOW! Thank you to Arry’s Roofing and No Roof Left Behind, we are so excited to be in this amazing program. I look so forward to the install and the block party.”

Arry’s Roofing encourages you to visit the No Roof Left Behind page for Pinellas County to learn more about Linda’s story. You can also see photos of the current roof damage, find the address for the installation party, and leave a comment of support for Linda. Simply click on the link below.
