I have to give a HUGE shout out to our amazing team! We were tasked with rebuilding two of these massive louvered vents at the St James AME church in Sanford, FL.
The challenge?

We had the chance to take a break from restoration mode today and switch to preservation mode by offering free board up services to as many people as we could get to.
We are blessed with an abundance of plywood in our business and lots of skilled labor so taking a couple days to protect our neighbors was a blast!
We were able to protect nearly 30 old homes and their families in the last 36 hrs thanks to our awesome crew!
Praying for everyone’s safety thru Milton! We are stronger together than apart! Philippians 4:6
