Onondaga County homeowners take note: Melo Roofing of Baldwinsville is paying it forward to someone in need by giving away a free roof replacement.

The giveaway is worth about $15,000. No purchase is necessary, and anyone can nominate themselves or someone else who needs a new roof.

Homeowners have until Aug. 28 to enter the contest, which asks why the entrant (or the person they are nominating) deserves a new roof and encourages people to submit a photo of their current roof.

A winner will be selected Sept. 1 by Melo Roofing, based on originality, creativity, and personal circumstances. The winning property must be located in Onondaga County. 

The contest is sponsored by Sal’s Pizzeria, CNY Turf, Certainteed and Home Team Pub.
