When Advanced Roofing Inc., Fort Lauderdale, Fla., learned about a local artist, Cynthia Walburn, potentially losing her life’s artwork after Hurricane Milton damaged the roof on her home, the Jacksonville team sprang into action to protect her decades of paintings.

Jason Carruth, manager at Advanced Roofing’s Jacksonville facility, inspected the roof and determined a full roof system replacement was necessary. Carruth offered to donate the entire job, including TAMKO® Heritage® Architectural Asphalt Shingles and other materials, and completed the installation before the start of the 2025
hurricane season.

Walburn is renowned for calming, contemporary paintings that provide comfort at hospitals and health care facilities.
