This heartwarming initiative provides free roofing services to veterans in need, helping ensure they have a safe, secure place to call home. Thanks to the incredible leadership and generosity of Mission Metals Manufacturing , who donated the roofing materials and spearheaded the program, Byrd’s Eye Roofing was proud to provide the installation at no cost to the veteran. This project, located in Dixie County, FL , was made possible with the help of several caring community partners, including the Dixie County Board of Commissioners , who assisted with permit expenses to ensure everything moved smoothly.
