Josh Bickle believes in the philosophy of paying it forward.
In business in Salmon Arm for eight years, the owner of Integrity Roofing says he and his wife chose to live and raise their children here and want to contribute to the community in a meaningful way.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Bickles are planning to replace the worst roof for the most deserving person – free of charge.
Offering a helping hand again is shingle manufacturer GAF.
On-board for the first time this year is Salmon Arm Home Building Centre.
Integrity has opened nominations for an individual who cannot afford to have the work done.
So, if you know someone, now is the time to speak up.
People who know of someone needing a new roof are encouraged to email nominations to info@integrity roofing.ca or fax to 250-833-1100. The deadline for nominations is Friday, April 24.
Nominated roofs, which cannot be too large, will be carefully considered by Josh and Joanna, and then physically assessed to determine the roof most in need of replacement.
The job will include material, labour, removal of the old roof, clean-up and disposal.
The first recipient of Integrity’s “cover-up” was a Ranchero homeowner living solely on his old-age pension.
Other individuals who have been gifted with new roofs are a Salmon Arm man burdened by multiple disabilities and confined to a wheelchair and a longtime community volunteer living on a disability allowance.
Nominations may also be dropped off at the Integrity Roofing booth at a home show to be held April 18 and 19 at the Shaw Centre
