New roof part of $1.4 million remodel at Ronald McDonald House Charities

‘You are our hero,’ noted charity CEO about the roofing project

Columbia Roofing & Sheet Metal, a leading specialty roofing contractor in the Pacific Northwest and Southern California, recently worked with other local partners on a $1.4 million remodeling project at Ronald McDonald House Charities.  The one-month project completed in July.

Columbia Roofing & Sheet Metal President Mark Carpenter said he felt honored to work on this project with the other major donor companies, including Marquis Companies, Vital Life Foundation, GAF Commercial Roofing Systems, Allied Building Products, Waste Management and United Rentals.

“We are so honored to be able to help with this project,” Carpenter said.  “At the end of the day we all need to take care of the people who need help at a very stressful time in life.  I am very fortunate to be in a position to help.”

CEO Jessica Jarratt Miller of Ronald McDonald House Charities, Oregon and Southwest Washington, said she was thrilled with the installation of the new roof.

“Thank you so much for your generosity and for reaching out to your community of vendors and partners to keep our Ronald McDonald House safe and dry for all the children and families that make this their home away from home,” Miller noted.  “You are our hero!”
