At Spartan StormShield, community isn’t just a word—it’s who we are. As a locally owned and operated roofing, siding, and gutter company based in Akron, Ohio, we live and work alongside the neighbors we serve. Every project we take on is more than a business opportunity; it’s a chance to strengthen the communities we know and love. Through our community-impact initiatives, we’re building more than roofs—we’re building connections, trust, and lasting partnerships across Northeast Ohio.
If you’re a homeowner who wants to enhance your home with a stronger, safer roof while giving back to your neighborhood, call 330-772-7826 or contact us online to schedule a consultation today and see how your next project can support local initiatives.
The Power of Community-Building
We believe that the core of a strong community starts with local businesses and residents working together. When we invest in our neighborhoods, it’s not a one-way street—it’s a partnership. By helping families, honoring veterans, and training our team through hands-on projects, we create a cycle of support that benefits everyone involved.
Community-building isn’t just philanthropy; it’s about fostering mutually-beneficial relationships. Homeowners get reliable, high-quality roofing and exterior services that stand the test of time. Local families and nonprofits gain support that makes a meaningful difference. And our team members grow both professionally and personally, seeing firsthand the impact their work can have.
Why Local Matters
Because we’re a local company with a team made up of local residents, every project we take on is underscored by a personal connection to the neighborhoods we serve. We know the streets, the families, and the local organizations that make neighborhoods across Northeast Ohio special. That familiarity allows us to respond with thoughtfulness, dedication, and a sense of pride that larger, out-of-town companies simply can’t replicate.
The Friendship Circle Roofing Program
One of the most meaningful ways we support our community is through our partnership with the Friendship Circle of Cleveland, a nonprofit creating friendships between children with and without disabilities. Our Community-Impact Roofing Program ensures that every roof purchased via SpartanStormShield.com/Team/Friendship-Circle contributes $500 to this incredible organization.
Through this initiative, we help families improve their homes while supporting children with special needs. It’s a perfect example of a mutually-beneficial partnership: homeowners get quality roofing, and the community gains meaningful programs that enrich lives.
Why We Love This Program:
- It strengthens families and builds connections between children in our community.
- It allows homeowners to make a tangible difference while upgrading their homes.
- It embodies our core mission: to be thoughtful, caring, and locally invested in every project we take on.

Restoring Trust for Veterans: A Roof That Honors Service
As a company made up of local residents, we understand the importance of giving back to those who have given so much for our country. One of our proudest moments was helping U.S. Marine Corps veteran Roger Bradshaw, whose previous solar panel installation with an out-of-state company left him frustrated and financially impacted.
As a company that employs veterans on our team, we understand the importance of supporting those who have served. This project reminded us why we do what we do: our work can have a real, lasting impact on the people in our community.
How We Approached the Project
- Our certified roofing specialists conducted a thorough roof inspection, and later ensured every part of the installation was completed correctly the first time.
- We integrated innovative solutions like GAF Timberline Solar ES2 Shingles, combining renewable energy with lifetime-quality roofing.
- By taking action as a local business staffed by veterans and community members, we strengthened ties to our neighborhood while helping someone in need.
This single act highlights how local businesses and residents can come together in meaningful ways—veterans receive support, homeowners gain security, and our team deepens its connection to the community we proudly call home.
Giving Back Through Hands-On Training
Our Giving Back initiative allows us to give back to deserving homeowners while investing in our team. We donate roof work to community members who have made sacrifices for the neighborhood, helping them with reliable, professional roofing. At the same time, our sales team gains hands-on experience working alongside our roofing crews.
How Giving Back Builds Stronger Communities
Through this program, we:
- Teach our team the physical and technical realities of roofing, emphasizing empathy and understanding while boosting proficiency.
- Strengthen communication between sales and installation teams to better serve clients.
- Support homeowners who have contributed to making Northeast Ohio a better place.
Joel Putnam, our Director of Integrated Marketing Systems, explains that seeing the process from start to finish helps our employees understand how each step affects the outcome for our clients. In turn, homeowners get better service, and the community benefits from a more knowledgeable, connected team.
How We Create Mutually-Beneficial Partnerships
Our initiatives aren’t just charitable acts—they’re partnerships that strengthen homes, families, and neighborhoods. Here’s how these relationships work:
- Homeowners benefit from high-quality roofing and exterior solutions.
- Community organizations and residents receive tangible support.
- Our team gains practical experience and a deeper understanding of the community’s needs.
By fostering these partnerships, we ensure that every project delivers value on multiple levels. We call it a win-win-win approach: homeowners, the community, and our team all gain.
Why Local Businesses Are Key to Community-Building
Being a locally owned company means our roots run deep. Research from Harvard Business Review shows that businesses engaging authentically with their communities see stronger brand loyalty and lasting growth. We see it every day: when local businesses and residents come together, everyone benefits.
Our initiatives demonstrate how local companies can lead the way in community-building, creating lasting impact and elevating the neighborhoods we call home.
