Houston, TX (PRWEB) January 26, 2015

An 83-year-old World War II Veteran received a brand new roof installed today, free of charge, thanks to Holden Roofing, a Texas based roofing contractor with offices in Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio.

"I can't believe it, I see it happening, but it's hard to believe," said homeowner Lonnie White.

After receiving several expensive quotes from other roofing companies, Mr. White was forced to leave his roof in disrepair. With major leaks, each new rainstorm caused additional interior damage to Mr. Whites home as well as a potential risk for both he and his wifes safety.

That's when Holden Roofing stepped in to help. Mr. White's neighbor approached the Texas roofing contractor to ask them for a more affordable quote. Holden Roofing agreed to drop by Lonnie's house and perform an estimate.

At first, local Veteran Lonnie White thought that the company was going to offer him a quote just like every other roofing company in the city. However, after taking a look at the roof, Holden Roofing estimated the cost at roughly $12,000. In exchange for the sacrifices Lonnie made for the United States over 60 years ago, Holden Roofing was happy to complete this $12,000 roofing project, free of charge. On top of that, Holden Roofing let Mr. White know that the crew would be at his home the following morning and that the work would be completed in one day.

It is because of our Veterans, men like Lonnie White, who sacrificed so much for our country, that businesses like ours even exist, stated Holden Roofing owner Brett Holden. When our GM called about Lonnies situation, we had two options, put a Band-Aid on the roof as a repair and hope he makes it through a couple more years or tear this old roof off and replace it correctly. In my mind, replacing it was the only option.

To say Lonnie was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement:

"They said there'd be no charge and no money involved. I just sat there sort of stunned...I'm glad I was sitting down, said White.

After receiving the news about his new roof, Mr. White called his wife, who reportedly started crying after she heard the news. Lonnie says his wife cried all night.

The Lexington City Board of Education is passing along a $17.5 million capital improvement plan to the Davidson County Board of Commissioners.

"We just want to be responsible and make sure we are taking care of the basic needs," said board chairman and at-large representative Scott Biesecker. "Our biggest need right now is roofing and HVAC. We don't want it to get to a point where it starts impacting students. We're not asking for anything extravagant. We just don't want anything disrupting the students."

Every year the board of education turns in a five-year plan to the commissioners on their needs. Board members reviewed the projects at their monthly meeting this past week.

The plan has three items that have been prioritized.

"It's like a wish list of what we think our capital expenditure needs might be," said Superintendent Rick Kriesky.

Kriesky emphasized that the projects are not new. At the top of the list is roof replacements at a cost of $4.8 million.

All six of the schools in the system except for Charles England Elementary are listed, along with the central office. The roof projects are also marked as a life safety issue. A good majority of the roofs date as far back as 1984 and 1985.

The second priority is $2.4 million for HVAC replacement chillers at South Lexington, Pickett Elementary, Lexington Middle and Lexington Senior High schools, as well as the air conditioning and furnace at the central office.

They were all labeled as a safety issue, too. The oldest one dates back to 1987, Kriesky said, as he applauded the maintenance staff for keeping the equipment working throughout the years.
