A local roofing company is going out of business and customers are getting hit with liens from the suppliers who’ve gone unpaid.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A retired Navy veteran in Jacksonville should sleep easier now that a new roof has been put over his head at his home on the Westside. American Legion Post 137 coordinated the effort to fix the roof, securing supplies from The Home Depot and enlisting Golden Hammer Roofing to help put it all together. The neighbor and two fellow veterans, both members of American Legion 137, got the ball rolling. I thought maybe we would just try to get the leaking to stop," said Rita Robbs with American Legion 137. “Our mission statement is to give back to the communities in which we work and live," said Dania Fadeley with Golden Hammer Roofing.
