Community Partnership Helps Provide Storm-Resilient Roof in Honor of Fallen Army Ranger
Deerfield Beach, FL – Polyglass U.S.A., Inc., a leading manufacturer of roofing and waterproofing systems, worked alongside DH2 Building Associates, SPEC Building Materials, and Brandon Roofing to provide a new, storm-resilient roof for a Florida Gold Star family. The collaborative effort highlights how companies can come together in support of local communities, honoring military families while promoting resilient construction ahead of hurricane season.
Honoring a Local Gold Star Family
The family, who lost their son Army Ranger Josh in service to the country, faced significant hardship after the storm. In recognition of their sacrifice, the roofing community came together to provide peace of mind and protection, just in time for the 2025 hurricane season.
“At Polyglass, we believe in more than just building roofs—we believe in building community,” said Lynn Connors, Director of Strategic Marketing at Polyglass. “Being able to support a Gold Star family here in Florida means everything to us.”
Roofing Community Contributions
The project included more than 2,000 square feet of roofing on the family’s single-family home near Tampa, FL. Polyglass donated its Polystick IR-Xe underlayment, designed for superior performance in extreme weather conditions. DH2 contributed asphalt shingles, Brandon Roofing provided installation labor, and SPEC Building Materials offered critical distribution and logistics support.
“We’re honored to help provide protection and peace of mind to this family. It’s a small way to say thank you for a sacrifice we can never repay,” said Rob DeHaan, President of DH2.
Storm-Ready Products and Installation
The project was completed in January 2025, with a commemorative video produced to share the story with a broader audience. The initiative is part of Polyglass’ ongoing Giving Back commitment to support communities, veterans, and families affected by natural disasters.
“This is more than a roof—it’s a blessing,” said Wendy, Gold Star mother and homeowner. “Josh would be so proud of what you’ve done.”
A Lasting Commitment to Giving Back
As hurricane season intensifies across the Southeast, this story underscores the importance of strong, durable roofing systems, and the power of partnerships that extend beyond business.
