DEERFIELD, Wis. — A Dane County veteran got a brand new roof over his head thanks to a good cause.

Michael Moreton was the winner of the “Roofing a Vet” campaign after his grandson nominated him.

On Friday, Heins Contracting replaced Moreton’s old roof free of charge.

“We came up with this because we wanted to give back to the community and didn’t feel like veterans as a whole are appreciated as much as what they should be,” Bryan Heins, the co-owner of Heins Contracting, said.

Moreton’s grandson Justin Qualmann said the upgrade was much-needed and the crew did a good job.

Moreton said he was filled with “appreciation for the guys and the company.”

This was the second year of the campaign. Zuern Building Products and GAF Roofing also helped with the installation.
