F.A.Q. —> Here are some helpful answers to some frequently asked questions about “Raise the Roof” by Bluewater Building Company.
Bluewater Building Company’s community initiative was established in 2024 with the mission to uplift the communities we serve by providing essential construction services. We identified a crucial need for construction projects and aimed to address this need for deserving homeowners and their families.
Annually, we open nominations to the public, encouraging them to nominate individuals or organizations within their community who are in need of construction services. Past recipients have included those facing hardships, military veterans, first responders, and underinsured homeowners. The public nominates, votes, and, after careful evaluations, the final recipients are selected. A celebratory event accompanies the project’s installation phase, inviting the homeowners and their neighbors to participate.
Yes, each recipient selected by Bluewater Building Company’s community initiative receives 100% free construction services. We are fortunate to have the support of national and local sponsors, including GAF Roofing Systems, ABC Supply Co, Lifetime Tool and others, who contribute to the funding of our community initiative. The donated materials from sponsors are utilized for the construction projects, allowing us to offer our services without cost to the recipients.
