Roof for Heroes is a program by Coastal Windows & Exteriors that donates free roofing systems to veterans. The company just completed its 5th donation since 2020, providing a GAF roofing system to Marine Corps veteran Lenny Szrlong in Middleborough, MA.
Marine Corps veteran Lenny Szrlong, a lifelong Massachusetts resident living in Middleborough, received the donation. He was selected through Coastal Windows & Exteriors' Roof for Heroes program, which serves veterans who have served the nation.
The donation included a complete GAF roofing system, featuring America's #1 shingle brand. It provides multi-layered weather protection, leak prevention, guards against moisture penetration, minimizes attic heat buildup, prevents ice dams, and offers energy efficiency that can reduce home energy loss by up to 25%.
Many veterans face financial hardship after military service, making major home repairs impossible without assistance. A failing roof can lead to structural damage, health hazards from mold and moisture, and significant energy loss, creating additional burdens for veteran families.
The GAF roofing system regulates attic temperatures and maintains consistent heating, which is critical as electricity rates have increased 31% since 2021 and natural gas rates jumped 27% over the past year. This provides both immediate comfort and long-term savings for veteran families facing higher winter energy bills.
Coastal Windows & Exteriors (based in Beverly, MA) runs the program, with owner Stephanie Vanderbilt leading the initiative. GAF supports the program, with Lisa Kingsley, GAF New England Regional Sales Director, expressing pride in supporting Coastal's efforts.
This specific donation was announced on December 24, 2025. The Roof for Heroes program was launched in 2020, and this marks the 5th donation since its inception.
The program serves veterans across the region, with this specific donation made at Lenny Szrlong's home in Middleborough, Massachusetts. Coastal Windows & Exteriors is based in Beverly, MA.
Reaching the 5th donation represents a meaningful achievement for Coastal Windows & Exteriors, with each veteran helped representing a life changed and a family protected. The company is honored to continue this mission and looks forward to supporting more veterans in the years ahead.
