Saint Mary’s Episcopal Church in Hampton Bays, New York recently received a new roof thanks to local contractor A1 Roofing and GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer. The church's aging roof was in need of repair, with a significant leak threatening both the structural integrity of the building and its ability to continue to safely serve the community.
Saint Mary's Episcopal Church serves as a vital community resource, offering a range of services to support local families including its food pantry, hosting Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and collecting and donating non-perishable food items for blessing boxes, which are located around the neighborhood for community members in need.
A1 Roofing, a local, family-owned and operated roofing company deeply rooted in a commitment to community service and two-time GAF Chairman’s Circle recipient, installed the new roof with a portion of the materials donated by GAF. The GAF Commercial Chairman’s Circle Award recognizes the leading roofing contractors in the low-slope, commercial roofing industry - A1 Roofing received this recognition in 2024 and 2025.
"At A1 Roofing, we believe in going the extra mile for our clients. After securing this project, we sought out additional funding opportunities through the GAF Chairman Circle program and secured a grant for this church project,” shared Kevin Reilly, Commercial Project Manager and Estimator at A1 Roofing. “It’s rewarding to provide not just a high-quality GAF TPO roofing system with copper-edge metal but also financial relief for an organization that serves the community. Ensuring long-term relationships and peace of mind is what we do best."
This collaboration is part of GAF’s social impact initiative, GAF Community Matters, which is focused on making a positive difference as neighbors and partners in the community by leveraging roofing expertise, resources and products to help build resilient communities.
“We are extremely thankful to GAF and A1 Roofing, as their services will help us continue to support our community in a major way for years to come,” said Father Justin Falciani at Saint Mary’s Episcopal Church. “Their commitment to our facility’s needs goes beyond just professional service - they truly embody the spirit of compassion and giving back.”
