Giving Back to Our Community

The Hope Center for Refugees and Immigrants in Cleveland’s West Park neighborhood is a hub in the Greater Cleveland area. The Hope Center, an effort managed by the local organization Building Hope in the City, gives refugees and immigrants a place to belong, make connections, pursue employment, and receive after-school enrichment and tutoring. The center serves 250 refugees and immigrants every week.

The Job

Synthetic Slate Roof Installation

Our partner AM Higley, one of Cleveland’s leading construction firms, was building a play area for children at the Hope Center. The play area was designed to feature buildings with realistic storefronts, such as a grocery store and a hardware store. Warren Roofing™ was invited to join in giving back to the Cleveland community and participate in this charitable project by helping to make the building exteriors look more realistic.

The Challenge

Durable Roofing on a Small Scale

Our roofing technicians needed to identify the best roofing materials for the play building storefronts. It was important to select a material that would offer a realistic appearance—and enhance the visual appeal—while also being durable.

The Process

Faux Slate Roof Installation

Our roofing technicians installed synthetic DaVinci Slate roofing—a high-end faux slate roofing system used for other Warren Roofing™ clients like Cru Uncorked—for the play buildings to provide the desired realistic appearance. This type of roofing is lightweight, durable, and designed to resist cracking and chipping, meaning it will be easier for the Hope Center to maintain the play area for years to come.

The Results

Helping Families in Cleveland

This project was meaningful for the Warren Roofing™ team because it gave us an opportunity to give back to our community—something we don’t take for granted. We hope the completed play area will be a highlight for many children and their parents as they visit the Hope Center and navigate challenging times.
