As part of National Roofing Week, all of us at Coastal Windows & Exteriors want to share what makes our roofs so important—and why we’re so thankful for them. After all, a roof isn’t just a structure; it’s the very thing that keeps us warm, dry, and secure.
From roofing manufacturers to local installers throughout New England, we’re especially grateful for the people who make it possible for families to feel safe and protected.
Below, our team shares what having a roof over their head truly means.
Stephanie Vanderbilt – Owner
“I’m thankful for a roof over my head as it protects me from Mother Nature—especially those brutally cold New England winters. Brrr!
Furthermore, I’m incredibly thankful for the peace of mind that comes from knowing we’re safe and secure.”
David Vanderbilt – General Manager
“My roof is important because it’s the first line of defense protecting my family from harmful elements.
Without it, our belongings—and more importantly, our loved ones—would be vulnerable to severe weather.
Honestly, I love my roof so much I should probably hug it… although that might alarm my family!”
Ryan Finan – Social and Digital Marketing Manager
“I’m thankful for my roof because it keeps hail from pelting me when it storms.
In other words, I get to laugh at the weather while staying dry and cozy.”
Jon Latessa – Marketing and Business Development Manager
“I’m thankful for my roof because it keeps animals out of my house.
No birds or squirrels flying in here—just peace and quiet.”
Tommy Ingram – Sales Manager
“I’m thankful for a roof over my head because, growing up, I didn’t always have one.
My parents, young with four kids, moved us between homes often.
Sometimes, there wasn’t even a roof to shelter us.
As a result, I’ve never taken a roof for granted—not once.
Every time I walk into a building, I remember how lucky I am.”
Chad Aicher – Sales Representative
“There are a thousand reasons I’m thankful for my roof.
However, if I had to choose just one—it’s the protection.
If I were in the wilderness, the first thing I’d build is a roof!”
Brian Locke – Sales Representative
“I’m looking forward to a new roof—one that looks great and boosts the resale value of my home.
After all, it’s an investment that pays off in comfort and aesthetics.”
Ernie Faulkner – Marketing Representative
“I’m thankful for my roof because it gives me a true sense of security.
Moreover, it lets me rest easy each night.”
John Macomber – Sales Representative
“I’m thankful for my roof because it holds up my solar panels.
Without a solid roof, clean energy isn’t possible!”
Frankie Camarda – Call Center Manager
“I’m thankful for my roof because it protects my family and provides a place we can call home.
In addition, it’s the shelter where memories are made.”
Charlie Doulamis – Sales Representative
“I’m thankful for my roof because it gives my house curb appeal.
Not to mention, it survived that brutal winter two years ago.
A 50-year roof definitely beats a 20-year roof!”
John Morrison – Sales Representative
“I’m thankful for my roof because it doesn’t leak!
Believe me, I’ve visited plenty of homes where that’s a major problem.”
Dennis Johnson – Sales Representative
“I’m thankful for my roof because it protects my loved ones—plain and simple.
Consequently, I consider it one of the most valuable parts of my home.”
Daniel Whitmarsh – Coastal Mascot
