TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -- A local roofing company received recognition Thursday for a good deed. Capital City Roofing and Sheet Metal Association fixed the roof of a local veteran all for free.

Retired and on disability, local veteran, Joyce McMillian reached out for help when her living situation became unbearable. The weather and time of 24 years had done enough damage to her home.

When McMillain was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, they didnt know how they would afford to fix their home. But then, there was a saving grace.

"Sigh of relief that it's an added expenditure that we don't have to brave or try to scamp and scrape to have done or have fixed," McMillian said.

Rusty McKeithen and his company stepped up to help local veterans. They completed the $7,000 job all for free.

"Weve done it for low income people, that needed a roof and didn't have the money in the past, and we've decided to do, not only that, but to do it for the veterans, too," said McKeithen of Capital City Roofing and Sheet Metal Association.

They received donated materials from Gulf Coast Supply and manufacturing and proved you can never go wrong with doing the right thing.

"Our company is filled with veterans from different eras and so we were definitely happy to donate when Rusty contacted our company," said Jon Jackson of Gulf Coast Supply and Manufacturing.

The roofing company does these projects twice a year. This one took them only one day to complete.
