McCullom Lake Veteran Getting New Roof By D-Wing Construction

MCCULLOM LAKE, IL — A U.S. Marine Corps veteran living in McCullum Lake will have a new roof installed Monday by D-Wing Construction as part of Owens Corning's nationwide effort to thank and honor the veterans who served our country and the families who support them. Owens Corning Platinum Contractors are working with Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County to provide new roofs to veterans in need and their families as part of the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project, including Vietnam War veteran Marty Lenzen, who is a former volunteer for Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County, according to a new release sent to Patch.

The Owens Corning National Roof Deployment Project was established in 2016, and in just a few years more than 140 military members have received new roofs, the release said.

Owens Corning Roofing and its network of independent Platinum Contractors, along with support from the Owens Corning Foundation, are donating roofing materials and labor to replace roofing shingles on the homes of military veterans and their families throughout the U.S. Through the partnership with Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County, Marty Lenzen was selected and approved as the recipient for this roof replacement, according to the release.

"Everyone deserves a home that is both safe and secure, especially Mr. Lenzen who has sacrificed so much for our country," Bill Lee, Construction Manager at Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County said, in the release. “It’s inspiring to see the Roof Deployment Project connect local organizations within the community and give them the chance to show their support and appreciation for our veterans.”

Dave Mirra, Owner and President of D-Wing Construction said as a locally owned and operated company, D-Wing Construction cares about their neighbors and the well-being of their neighbors' homes.

“This build in particular is a special one because it gives us a chance to honor Mr. Lenzen and make an immediate, long-lasting impact on his life,” Mirra said, in the release.
