Egg Harbor City family receives free roof, painting – NBC40.net

EGG HARBOR CITY -

Jeanette McClure always dreamed of having a safe, warm house for her family, but instead of the safe home she'd hoped for, McClure got a roof filled with mold, water damage and rotting wood.

"Every time it rained, you know, we were putting buckets and pots and pans. Everything everywhere and just trying to fix what we could," said McClure's eldest daughter, Linda Johnson.

After paying a roofer for work he never properly completed, McClure was at her wit's end.

"We were just at the point where we were just going to have to pack it up and move and have to go somewhere else and pay tons of money n rent, have to struggle more than we were before," said McClure.

"I don't know how many times she said, I can't do this anymore. I'm just gonna sell it. Scrap it for what it is, go somewhere else, I can't do it," echoed Johnson.

Until she was told by East Coast Roofing, Siding & Windows that she was the winner of a new roof along with fresh drywall and interior painting.

"He said, 'We have something for you,' I was like, 'For me?' and then I broke down," said McClure.

"It's giving. It's not thinking about yourself. It's thinking about others," said Larry Stiteler, owner of East Coast Roofing, Siding & Windows.

To go along with the new roof, Clean Lines Painting & Power washing offered their services.
