ROOF Management Gives Back To The Community
We believe in giving back to the communities we have served for so long, and ROOF Management is dedicated to ongoing charitable programs, which we call the Community Service Roundtable. Our employees are encouraged to submit project suggestions, time, labor and materials for consideration in our industry related charitable efforts.
Past recipients have included the Life Remodeled/ Farmington Hills Home Build, Farmington Area Good fellows, the Farmington Public Schools Turnaround Awards, Bowl-A-Thon for Harmony Youth Ranch, the Xemplar Club of Farmington & Farmington Hills, Fun Walk for the Matthew Kerry Trust, the Jon Grant Signature Golf Classic and many others. If you are familiar with a community service project you would like us to consider, we encourage you to contact us.
Roofing contractors and industry professionals representing nearly all 50 states converged on Capitol Hill for first-ever lobbying event and ROOF Management was there!
The effort, organized by the National Roofing Contractors Association, was the first of its kind in a new effort to elevate the roofing industry’s profile on Capitol Hill.
In addition, Roofing Day also represented an opportunity for the roofing industry to help change and improve the perception of roofing contractors on Capitol Hill.
The founders of ROOF Management, the Deichert family, third-generation commercial roofing contractors came to Washington to relay their personal message. Thomas Deichert Sr. and wife, Terry, shared a strong belief that workforce training programs need to be enhanced and available to high school students to develop the next generation of skilled workers.
“We’ve been pushing kids toward four-year degrees and that’s really hurt our industry,” Thomas explained to a legislative aide to one of Michigan’s Democratic senators. “They don’t even have a chance to know if they like working outdoors, with their hands and creating something. We’ve got to bring that back.”
The Deicherts were encouraged to learn that both senators they visited were supportive of enhancing career technical education programs and services provided by high school guidance counselors.
