Every Hero Deserves a Strong Roof Over Their Head
The Think Third Patriot Project honors local veterans with free, high-quality roof replacements — a small way we say thank you for their service, sacrifice, and strength.
Honoring Local Heroes, One Home at a Time
The Think Third Patriot Project is our way of saying “thank you” to veterans in Northeast Ohio — not just with words, but with roofs.
Each year, we select deserving veterans to receive a full roofing system at no cost. Whether they served overseas or here at home, these men and women stepped up for our country — and now it’s our turn to serve them. From heartfelt nominations to big reveal days, every Think Third Patriot Project is a community celebration of courage, sacrifice, and home.
✅ 100% Free Roof Replacement
✅ Local Veterans, Local Impact
✅ Community-Nominated, Company-Sponsored
Nominations will be open beginning in early June.

Chapman Project
Our recent Think Third Patriot Project spotlight honors John Chapman, a 75-year-old Army Vietnam Veteran whose life embodies dedication and resilience. Nominated by his daughter, Sarah—a Navy veteran herself—John is celebrated as a hero to his family and community. Known for his selflessness, John enlisted in the Army during his junior year of high school to serve others and spent a year in Vietnam as an Aviation Electronics Repairman. This commitment to service defined his life, and he went on to a long career as a skilled maintenance professional and a “fix-it guru” at home.
Dad is, frankly, everyone’s hero.
Despite facing severe arthritis and sciatica, John still planned to replace his roof himself this year—a testament to his determination and independence. With his new roof, John and his family can be assured he’ll stay safely grounded, where his legacy of service and kindness can continue to inspire.

Rodriguez Project
Dillon Rodriguez and Keslie Honeycutt, two veterans with 24 years of combined military service, first connected while deployed with the Army National Guard in Kuwait. Now homeowners in Ohio, they’ve faced a challenging journey marked by undisclosed home issues and Dillon’s career-ending injury while serving as a Cleveland Police Officer. With his injuries requiring numerous surgeries, Dillon and Keslie have endured significant financial strain, leaving their home repairs largely unattended. Despite these hardships, their commitment to each other and their dreams of marriage and family has only strengthened.
I am so grateful that there are still people and organizations out there doing stuff like this for veterans.
Thanks to The Third Estimate and NEOPAT, Dillon and Keslie’s home will receive an exterior makeover, including a new roof, windows, siding, and gutters—giving them renewed hope and freedom to focus on their future together.
