On the morning of June 7, a call came in.
A disabled veteran in St. Louis was facing worsening storm damage. Rain had already started entering his home. His roof, already in poor condition, couldn’t hold back the water. He had to unplug his stove and microwave and hadn’t been able to cook since the storms began.
The weather showed no signs of improving. Best Choice Roofing of Greater St. Louis responded quickly.
Thanks to a previous anonymous donor and the support of Selfless Service Towards Humanity – Sikhs Of MO, the BCR team mobilized. Within an hour of receiving the call, the crew arrived on site with the tools, materials, and experience to address the issue head-on.
Quick Action That Made a Difference
Storm-related roofing damage can become more serious by the hour. The longer water is allowed to enter a home, the greater the chance of structural weakening, mold growth, and additional interior damage. In this case, time was a critical factor.
Josh, Kade, and Kevin from the Best Choice Roofing team assessed the situation and got to work. They removed the deteriorated tarp that had failed to stop the rain. Then, they reinforced the existing roof structure to prevent further sagging or leakage. A new tarp was carefully installed and sealed with felt paper to provide temporary protection against incoming storms.
This response didn’t solve every problem, but it bought the homeowner time. The interior of the home was protected from more water damage. The crew provided a temporary solution that was stable, secure, and fast.
A Community Response

When this call came through, the team didn’t hesitate. They gathered what they needed, jumped into their trucks, and responded with urgency and care. People in the neighborhood saw it happen in real time. The work was done safely and efficiently, but more than that, it showed what happens when business meets purpose.
