Dick’s Roof Repair Service to reward a Kenosha volunteer with a new roof

As a way of saying thanks to “those who give back in our community,” one lucky volunteer from Kenosha will receive a free roof from Dick’s Roof Repair Service.

The longtime Kenosha company, 3008 75th St., is seeking nominations for the prize until May 31.

“It has been a difficult few years for our community,” Dick’s Roof Repair President Jeff Milkie said. “We want to honor the people who selflessly volunteer and give back to our community.”

For Dick’s, this is the fourth year that it will be awarding a free roof to a deserving recipient. The average roof repair costs around $8,000 to $10,000.

The first year of the contest rewarded a local healthcare worker. In 2021, nominations could be made for a local police officer, firefighter, or sheriff’s deputy. The winner was Joe Epping, a Kenosha firefighter who was nominated by Kyle Dahl. In 2022, new roofs were awarded to educators Janet Carpino from Racine and Deanna Jansen from Kenosha.

Founded by Dick Milkie, Dick’s Roof Repair Service has been providing residential exterior repair services since 1957.

“We love to give back to the community that supports us,” Jeff Milkie said. “Helping to shelter those who help our community feels right, and we’re excited to give that volunteer a new roof on us.”
