We all may fall on hard times at some point. But if a leaky or broken roof is bringing you down, you may be in luck.

Streamline Roofing is accepting nominations for Williamsburg-area residents who need and deserve a new roof over their heads, according to a company news release.

The free roof giveaway is part of the No Roof Left Behind campaign, a nationwide program that helps give new roofs to those in need.

To qualify for nomination, nominees must own their home, be current on their mortgage payments, and be a resident of Williamsburg, James City County, York County, Newport News or Hampton.

Nominations will be accepted through June 6.

After the initial nominations, a “team” of local volunteers will review the nominees and select four finalists.

The four finalists’ stories and photos will then be displayed on the Streamline Roofing’s website. Community members will have the opportunity to vote for the finalist they believe should get a new roof.

“We are proud to be part of No Roof Left Behind. The direct positive impact this initiative has on members of the community is something that can’t be described. It is an honor to be able to launch this here. We look forward to seeing our neighbors and customers come together to help one of our own in need,” Streamline Roofing owners Jeff Skinner and Dave Long said in a prepared statement.

Streamline Roofing has been in business for more than six years, the release said.
