DEERFIELD BEACH, FL -- Polyglass U.S.A., a manufacturer of roofing and waterproofing systems, has provided a new, storm-resilient roof for a Florida Gold Star family.
Polyglass worked with DH2 Building Associates, SPEC Building Materials, and Brandon Roofing on the collaborative effort that highlights how companies can come together in support of local communities, honoring military families while promoting resilient construction ahead of hurricane season.
The family, who lost their son, an Army Ranger, in service to the country, faced significant hardship after a 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.”
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.
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.
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.
