Annual Community Initiative Provides Life-Changing Roof Replacements for Deserving Puget Sound Families and Nonprofits
SEATTLE, WA AND AUBURN, WA / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 2026 / Guardian Roofing, Gutters & Insulation, in partnership with KING 5, proudly announces the return of the 2026 Seattle HALO Project, the company’s signature community initiative dedicated to providing free roof replacements to deserving homeowners and nonprofit organizations across the Puget Sound and greater Seattle region.
Now entering the eighth year, the HALO Project reflects Guardian Roofing’s long-standing belief that safe housing is foundational to strong communities. Through community and non-profit nominations, the program identifies families, veterans, seniors, and homeowners facing financial hardship who are unable to afford critical roofing services.
"For our team, the HALO Project represents the heart of who we are," said Mat Rzucidlo, President of Guardian Roofing, Gutters & Insulation. "Every year, we meet people who have spent their lives giving back to others but find themselves in need of help. Providing a safe, secure roof restores stability, dignity, and peace of mind."
A failing roof can create cascading challenges for families already navigating medical expenses, fixed incomes or unexpected hardship. The HALO Project removes that burden by delivering professional installation, materials, and labor at no cost to selected recipients.
Since launching in 2018, the HALO Project has delivered more than $200,000 in roofing repairs and replacements throughout the Pacific Northwest, protecting homes, strengthening nonprofits, and ensuring community members can remain safely housed. The initiative continues to grow alongside Guardian Roofing’s expanding presence in the Pacific Northwest while remaining rooted in local community impact.
Community participation remains central to the program’s success. Residents throughout Western Washington are encouraged to nominate individuals or organizations whose service, resilience or community contributions make them deserving of support. Selected recipients are chosen based on demonstrated need and community impact.
The HALO Project also brings together employees, local partners, and media collaborators in a shared effort to give back. Working hand-in-hand with KING 5 helps highlight community stories while encouraging neighbors to recognize and uplift those making a difference behind the scenes.
"At Guardian, protecting homes means protecting communities," Rzucidlo said. "When businesses and neighbors come together to help one another, the impact goes far beyond a roof. It creates lasting security and hope."
Nominations for the 2026 Seattle HALO Project are now open through May 2, 2026, at https://www.king5.com/haloproject. Community members are encouraged to submit stories and help identify this year’s recipients.
