Owner’s Message

2007 saw a special project come to fruition for Bone Dry Roofing Company.  The Sparrow’s Nest Mission Church is a local ministry that serves the Athens community through a variety of outreach ministries.  Sparrow’s Nest is a non-profit, Christ centered ministry that seeks to change lives through the power of God and nurturing relationships.  By creatively meeting the needs of the at-risk population, they build trust, which is the doorway to hope and transformation.     

The Sparrow’s Nest operates out of the old Piedmont College building on Prince Avenue.  Over the past several months, it became apparent that the existing roof system(s) had deteriorated past the point of repair and would need to be replaced.  The financial hurdle of having to pay for over 8000 square feet of roof replacement was too much for the organization to overcome.  Through a series of conversations and prayerful requests, Bone Dry Roofing Company was able to replace the roof on the facility at no cost to the ministry.  With the help of the local Marine Corps detachment office, who volunteered labor services for removal of the old roof system, a new, ballasted EPDM roof system was installed.

Local businesses Georgia Ground Cover and Agile Waste Services also made significant contributions to the project by providing the roof ballast and disposal services at no cost to the owner.  Their willingness to participate in such a meaningful way allowed this project to be possible.

Allowing the organization to focus on its ministry rather than be side-tracked by the cost of such a large-scale project was important to our company.  If just one person is impacted eternally by the outreach provided by the Sparrow’s Nest, then our contribution was worthwhile.  We are grateful for the opportunity to work with people like Ken Daniel, Earl Delmarter, Lt. Col. Seth Hathaway, and everyone who participated in this project. 

In addition, Bone Dry Roofing Company is in the process of setting up a not-for-profit organization called Roof Top Ministries.  This organization will be used to provide similar services for individuals and organizations whose focus is on outreach ministry and who are unable to afford roof related expenses.
