Thanks to generous community financial support, the Clinton Community Hall now has a brand-new roof! The roof was installed in late August 2021 by G&I Roofing Solutions.

The previous roof consisted of three layers of asphalt shingles, installed on top of each other over the past 60 years. In addition to the old shingles reaching the end of their useful life, the multiple layers added a lot of unnecessary weight on top of the building. And a persistent leak, while minor, was a reminder that the roof needed to be dealt with.

In exploring options for a replacement roof, the hall’s board of directors looked into several types of roofing materials and determined that metal panels would provide the best return on investment. With a metal roof, there was no need to install a new under-layer of plywood panels – panels that would have been a considerable expense with the current high prices of lumber. The metal roof will last longer into the future, will require less maintenance, and should be more environmentally-friendly to dispose of through recycling at the end of its life.

Hanson’s Building Supply generously provided the materials for the new roof at cost, and worked with the manufacturer (Champion Metal) for an additional $1,000 discount on the panel costs. G&I Roofing Solutions installed metal roofing on the small shed behind the hall at no additional cost.

And the Clinton community really came through in their financial support to make this project happen!

Over this past summer, 86 individuals, families, foundations and businesses donated $23,200 to help cover the cost of the new roof.
