Roofing help wanted: Víctor's home in Rochester
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Rochester?
🇺🇸 New York, United StatesPosted Oct 1, 2026309 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Rochester. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,750, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over two Saturdays.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
Thank you for reading my story.

Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Rochester.
Wishing you the best, Víctor. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Víctor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
