Is there a roofer who can donate a few hours in Philadelphia?
Looking for a licensed roofer in Philadelphia to donate time or work at cost.

In August an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,900 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed roofer who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $290.
The job should take about three hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request.
If you're a roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck, Kimberly. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Philadelphia.
Hope it all works out. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Toledo.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Philadelphia
