June 30, 2009, the Panhandle Butterfly House reception area roof, damaged during Hurricane Ivan, was removed, repaired and replaced by Carroll Roofing Company of Pensacola.

Mr. Gene Carroll, of Carroll Roofing Company of Pensacola generously donated all labor and materials to replace the battered roof. Mr. Carroll's crew, coordinated by Mr. Carroll's son, Gene Jr., removed and replaced all the bad wood, and installed a new and very substantial membrane underlayment.

They finished off the job with industrial flashing and 50 year sculptured shingles.

In addition to Mr. Carroll and his crew, we would like thank Mrs. Karen Pettinato of Pettinato Construction in Gulf Breeze, FL. She contacted Mr. Carroll on our behalf, coordinated between Carroll Roofing and the Butterfly House and obtained the required Santa Rosa County building permit for us.

This is a wonderful example of the community support that keeps our facility going. Our new roof is beautiful and will keep our butterfly collection, visitors and volunteers safe and dry for years to come. Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to Carroll Roofing and Pettinato Construction, without whom we would not have this beautiful new roof.
