What the replacement covered
On Veterans Day, Tier One Roofing, a veteran-owned Tulsa company, replaced Darl T. Biggs’s roof at no charge. KTUL reported that the roof was 30 to 40 years old and had about 20 leaks: KTUL.
Owner Jonathan Marsh told KTUL that he learned of Biggs through the VA and ROAD, a local organization. KTUL reported that the crew was also working to keep animals out of the house and build a wheelchair ramp to Biggs’s work trailer, where he makes boots and other handmade items.
Other repair needs
ROAD says it provides free help to disaster survivors whose home-repair needs have been reviewed by a case manager and who cannot meet those needs on their own. KJRH reported that ROAD also has a program offering free roof replacements to eligible low-income Oklahoma seniors whose roofs have reached the end of their useful lives: ROAD and KJRH.
The roof did not resolve every need at the property. News On 6 reported that Marsh hoped to raise money for an HVAC system and other repairs: News On 6.
