ALPENA An Alpena family is grateful beyond words to be selected as the winner of a new roof for their house from Level Up Roofing in Alpena.

Straight tears was the reaction Jessica Wilding said she had when she received the call from Level Up telling her she and her family had been selected to have a brand-new roof installed at no cost to them.

Level Up selected the family after the company received a host of nominations during a promotion they announced on Facebook.

Many, many tears, Jessica Wilding said. Its hard to put into words. I was extremely excited.

Upon receiving the news, she called her husband, Justin Wilding, who could barely understand her because she was so overwhelmed with emotion.

I called my husband at work, sobbing, she continued. He had to hold the phone away from his ear because he couldnt quite understand what I was saying. I just feel extremely fortunate.

I had to tell her to calm down so I could understand what she was saying, Justin Wilding said. It took me quite a while to come to the realization that wed actually won. I was in shock for most of the day.

The Wildings live on 5th Avenue in Alpena with son Logan Corwin and 5-year-old daughter Harleigh.

It means the world, Jessica Wilding said.

Its a huge burden off our shoulders, Justin Wilding added.

The Wildings said they cannot say enough about the generosity of Level Up.

Theyre beyond amazing, Jessica Wilding said. Were beyond blessed that we were chosen.

The roof replacement is valued at an estimated $8,800.

The family had been getting by, patching the roof when they had the funds, but their roof is long overdue for full replacement, the Wildings said.

I actually worked for a local hospital for 10 years, Jessica Wilding explained. Our daughter was diagnosed non-verbal autistic, so I had to quit my job to stay home with her, and things have just been extremely tight and hard since then.

I work, and we struggle with vehicle repairs and everyday problems, and other little repairs on the house, and the roof has just been something that we just havent had the money for, Justin Wilding noted.

Again, this has just been the biggest blessing that weve ever received, Jessica Wilding said. Things like this just dont happen to people like us.

Level Up owner Michael Tadajewski explained why the company held the promotion.

Basically, weve had a really great customer base over the last year and a half, so we just wanted to do something to give back to the community, he said. We had a decent amount of applicants, and it was a hard decision, but I think we found the right family to give it to.

Thank you so much, Level Up Roofing, from the bottom of our hearts, Jessica Wilding said.

Were so grateful that theyre part of this awesome community, Justin Wilding added.

During our most recent trip to Disneys BoardWalk, we saw crew members adding steel roofing to the dormers on The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers. The new table-service restaurant and quick-service bakery is set to open sometime this year.

Two crew members were on the first roof of The Cake Bake Shop.

Some of the windows on the side of the building were open. The window frames and panes of glass were installed recently.

A series of metal beams now covers each dormer roof on this side of the building. There are also new poles on the corners of the tower.

The dormers also have small windows on them.

Additional steel has been added behind the entrances marquee framework.

More weather-proof purple sheathing has been added around the bakery entrance to the right.

Theres still an uncovered metal framework on the front of the building that will be the bakerys marquee.

The Cake Bake Shop recently began hiring for several positions, with open interviews this week. They put out a call for culinary leaders late last year. The website alsolists some positions with open applications.

Bellevue, WA, March 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The average lifespan of most roofs ranges from 25-50 years, with certain materials like ceramic and clay tiles lasting up to a century. However, factors such as regional climate, roofing material, and installation quality significantly impact longevity. While homeowners may not control these variables, they can take proactive measures to extend their roof's lifespan through preventive maintenance measures.

Orca Roofing & Exteriors, a roofing company comprising a skilled team, shares some tips on preventive maintenance strategies and techniques aimed at extending the longevity of roofs.

Orca Roofing & Exteriors advises homeowners to regularly clean debris, algae, and mold from their roofs. This essential upkeep prevents water pooling, rot, and damage to roofing materials, ensuring the safety of the home and its occupants. Property owners can preserve their roofs through regular cleaning while keeping their homes safe from respiratory infections.

Additionally, the roof company Bellevue advises homeowners to fix missing and damaged shingles as early as possible. Neglecting minor issues can compromise the roof's integrity and aesthetic appeal, leading to costly repairs in the long run and forcing homeowners to ultimately necessitate a roof replacement.

Preventing ice dams is another key strategy recommended by Orca Roofing & Exteriors. By addressing ice buildup and ensuring proper water flow, homeowners can mitigate the risk of roof damage caused by freezing and thawing cycles.

Ensuring proper ventilation is also an ideal way of extending a roofs lifespan. Orca Roofing & Exteriors states that inadequate ventilation may lead to decay and ice dams. Additionally, homeowners are encouraged to inspect their attic for leaks and ensure adequate insulation to prevent temperature-related issues.

However, for homeowners with roofs that have seen better days, Orca Roofing & Exteriors offers replacement services. Whether it's asphalt shingles, metal roofs, ceramic, or wood shakes, the company uses top-quality materials and adherence to all safety regulations during installations. Furthermore, the installation process is carried out by skilled professionals boasting years of experience in the roofing industry.

Representatives from global roofing manufacturer IKO Industries Ltd., Clay Countys Economic Development Corporation and the Clay County Board of County Commissioners broke ground March 27 on Clay Hill, a $270 million, 300,000-square-foot plant to make residential roofing products.

The manufacturing facility is on 80 acres east of U.S. 301, at County Road 218, about 10 miles south of Interstate 10.

IKO said it will create about 100 jobs and is hiring. The company said it will begin operating in mid-2025.

From left, Clay County Economic Development Corp. President Crawford Powell; U.S. House of Representatives District Director Bryan Campbell; Clay County District 3 County Commissioner Jim Renninger; IKO CEO David Koschitzky; IKO Vice President of Operations Guy Tremblay; and Clay Hill Plant Manager Daniel Lindhahl broke ground at the Clay Hill construction site March 27.

The first of three production lines will manufacture shingles.

IKO Corporate Communications Manager Derek Fee said the project will have an estimated economic impact of about $1.3 billion on Clay County.

Its the first time weve built down here, Fee said. It will support a growth market for us.

IKO, founded in 1954, is headquartered in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Most of its U.S. facilities operate in the Northeast, but it has operations in Texas and Alabama.

Clay Hill is the eighth shingle production line in IKOs North American manufacturing operations.

IKO paid $5.26 million in April 2023 for the 80 acres of timberland.

County commissioners approved incentives and a mobility fee exemption for the project in May 2023, which at the time was code-named Project Gator.

IKO Consultant Dan Redmond, left, and CEO David Koschitzky attended the groundbreaking ceremony for Clay Hill, the manufacturers first facility in Florida.

The impact in Clay County is huge, said Chereese Stewart, assistant county manager for the county commissioners.

Clay Hill Plant Manager Daniel Lindhahl relocated from Illinois for the job, but is from Clay County and attended Orange Park High School. He has worked for IKO for about 15 years.

We appreciate all of the support thats been given and provided for this project, Lindhahl said. Were looking forward to building a successful operation with the state of our equipment and putting together the best team of people in the area.

Weve already started recruiting and building that team. Were looking forward to building long-lasting relationships in the surrounding areas and well strive to be a great neighbor.

He called his role a dream. He has been at IKO for about 15 years.

I was made aware of this opportunity a couple of years back and its funny how things come full circle, Lindhahl said. Im glad to be back.

Construction continues at the Clay Hill IKO Industries Ltd. facility east of U.S. 301, at County Road 218, about 10 miles south of Interstate 10.

Based in Alpena, theyve selected one local family for a free roof replacement. Just to give back to the community, we selected a family that we thought was a deserving candidate, said Michael Tadajewski, owner of Level Up Roofing. There were definitely a lot so it was a hard decision but were happy with the decision we made and were happy to help this family.

For the Wilding family, its a huge weight off their shoulders after already patching their roof multiple times. This is huge, said Justin Wilding. Its a huge burden off of my back and the whole familys. Its the biggest blessing weve ever received, added Jessica Wilding.

The roofing project is expected to only last one day and have an estimated cost of about $8,000. Getting this kind of help is giving the Wildings a close look at how this community works together.
