Sam Boak's commitment to supporting local veterans continues as Boak & Sons joins the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project to provide a new roof for a U.S. Army veteran in Lisbon, Ohio.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sam Boak, owner and president of Boak & Sons, Inc., is proud to recognize his team's participation in a nationwide initiative honoring military veterans through much-needed home improvements. In October 2026, Boak & Sons helped provide a new roof for U.S. Army veteran Nathaniel Railing of Lisbon, Ohio, as part of the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project.
The national program brings together roofing contractors, manufacturers, and community organizations to provide roof replacements for veterans in recognition of their military service. Railing was selected for the project through Habitat for Humanity, and the Boak & Sons crew arrived at his Columbiana County home to remove the existing roof and install a new roofing system.
For Mr. Railing, the project provides more than a home improvement. A dependable roof offers long-term protection from the elements, reduces the burden of costly home maintenance, and provides peace of mind for his family.
The project reflects a longstanding commitment to veterans and community service that Sam Boak has encouraged throughout his company's history. Founded by Sam Boak in 1974, Boak & Sons has grown into one of the Mahoning Valley's established exterior contracting companies while continuing to prioritize opportunities to give back to the communities it serves.
"When you think about everything our veterans have done for us, providing a roof over their heads seems like the least we can do," said Sam Boak, owner and president of Boak & Sons. "We've been fortunate to serve this community for more than 50 years, and opportunities like this remind us that our work is about more than roofing. It's about taking care of our neighbors and giving back to the people who have given so much."
Through projects like the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project, Sam Boak and the Boak & Sons team continue to demonstrate how local businesses can use their expertise and resources to make a meaningful difference in the lives of community members. As Boak & Sons continues serving residential and commercial customers throughout Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, Sam Boak remains committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen the community and recognize those who have served the country.
