Navy SEAL Honored with Surprise Free Roof

A DECORATED Navy SEAL received an unexpected gift when a Florida-based roofing company provided a free roof replacement for his hurricane-damaged home just before Veterans Day.

Action Roofing Services, a member of the Peak Roofing Partners Family of Companies, provided a completely free roof replacement valued at $20,000 to Richard Loth, a Navy SEAL veteran residing in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Surprise Free Roof

The project was launched after the Action Roofing team learned of Richard’s situation through Operation Healing Forces, a Tampa-based nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the wounded, ill, injured, and fallen U.S. Special Operations Forces community.

The timing proved critical, as Richard Loth’s roof suffered significant damage during last year’s hurricane season, creating an urgent need for replacement to protect his home from Florida’s unpredictable weather patterns.

Recognizing the urgency of the need and the significance of his service, the company quickly stepped forward to provide all labor and materials at no cost to the veteran or his family.

Bruce Bessire, Chief Operating Officer at Peak Roofing Partners, said: “At Action Roofing Services, we believe it’s our responsibility to give back to the veterans who have given so much for our country.”

“These brave men and women and their families have made incredible sacrifices, and providing a secure roof over their heads is just one small way we can show our appreciation for their service.”

Navy SEAL Honored

Richard Loth served for more than 30 years in the U.S. Navy SEALs and now teaches at the Joint Special Operations University at MacDill Air Force Base. His global military career included leadership roles as Deputy Commander Special Operations Command South and Commanding Officer of Special Boat Unit Twenty-Two.

Kerry Irvin, Chief Executive Officer at Operation Healing Forces, said: “Our mission is to serve those who have borne the greatest burdens of defending our nation. Richard Loth represents the very best of the Special Operations Forces community and his family is deeply deserving of this recognition and support.

“We are very grateful for this collaboration with Action Roofing Services as it demonstrates the best of what can happen when purpose and compassion unite through action – helping to restore peace of mind for a family that has already given so much.”

This roof replacement is part of Action Roofing Services’ ongoing commitment to community service and supporting military families throughout Florida. The company says it plans to continue partnering with veteran-focused organizations to identify and address the needs of those who have sacrificed so much.
