Roof replaced for Veteran's Widow as an act of Kindness

"What Infinity Roofing Contractors Inc. has done for me is beyond amazing."

Infinity Roofing Contractors Inc. replaced my damaged roof as a heart-warming gesture of human kindness. What a magnanimous gift to bestow to a struggling widow.

In 2016, while my husband was battling stage 4 cancer, our home owner’s insurance company pointed out signs of roof damage, so I paid a roofer to repair it, but he didn't do repair work to standards set by the insurance company & he refused to make it right. Our insurance was cancelled as my husband was fighting for his life. The situation got so dire, I enlisted the aid of the Insurance Commissioner and I tacked shingles down with adhesive myself. My amazing, loving husband and best friend sadly passed away 6 months later, at age 50 of a rare & virulent cancer. Then in July, nail pops creased some of the shingles. I called for a few assessments but never received an estimate. I contemplated trying to tack the shingles down again, but I knew that if the decking was damaged, it would only be a matter of time before I had leaks and major damage. So, I looked for a reputable roofer online, scheduled an assessment, but was afraid I wouldn't be able to afford it, so I actually placed my kettle bell weights on the roof to try to flatten the creased shingles & bought adhesive to tack them down.

But that won't be necessary now, thanks to the kindness of local Roofing contractor, Tony Imbordino, who owns Infinity Roofing Contractors Inc. of Kennesaw. His wife, Kathleen, told him the entire story and he felt a calling to help. Imbordino donated time & labor and reached out to his GAF suppliers, who generously donated all materials.

Employees showed up at my home 8 a.m, Friday. When I returned home, a new roof was installed. It turns out that my roof had 5 nail pops, 8 sheets of moisture damaged decking & shingle lifting that would have caused leaks and additional structural erosion, but Infinity Roofing took care of everything. My new roof is structurally sound, no more impending leaks, the new roof will reduce the cost of home insurance and the roof looks great.

They went above and beyond to assist a struggling widow and I am humbled by a rare gift of this magnitude. What a Godsend Tony, his wife Kathleen, their son Anthony Jr. & their material suppliers have been. They saved the home my loving husband worked so hard to provide for me and our sons. Thank you just doesn’t seem like enough for grace of this magnitude!

I want to share the story of their Kindness; I want to SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOP! May God bless them.
