For Olympus Roofing, success isn’t just measured in jobs completed—it’s measured in the impact they make on their community. Over the past six months, the Olympus team launched Operation Roof Rescue, an initiative designed to give back by providing free roofs to families in need.

A Roof of Relief

When the Olympus crew showed up at Elena’s home to tell her she’d been chosen, the emotion was immediate. Elena had spent more than a year worrying about every storm, every rainfall, and every missing shingle. The stress had consumed her family.

“As I opened the door and saw my family, my friends, and the Olympus team, it all became full circle—the love, the concern, the relief,” Elena said. “You just have no idea what this means to me.”

For Olympus, that reaction was the very reason they started the program. “A roof is an interesting thing because you don’t think about it until you have a problem—and then that’s all you can think about,” one team member explained.

(Industry context: 80% of homeowners say their biggest concern in a roofing project is quality of work, followed by ballooning costs (68%) and poor communication (63%). For Elena’s family, Operation Roof Rescue lifted all three concerns at once—delivering trusted workmanship at no cost, with clear communication from start to finish.)

Powered by Partnership

The initiative wasn’t possible alone. Olympus Roofing partnered with JobNimbus from the very beginning. JobNimbus employees volunteered their time, tearing off three layers of old asphalt shingles, replacing rotten decking, and installing a brand-new roof for Elena’s family.

This collaboration was especially meaningful because Johny Wudel, former COO at JobNimbus, now helps lead Olympus Roofing. “I worked at JobNimbus for over three years, so to come full circle, owning Olympus Roofing and having JobNimbus help—it’s incredible. They’re not just a partner in business, they’re part of the community.”

Heroes in Action

For JobNimbus, this project embodied the company’s mission: to make contractors heroes. By backing initiatives like Operation Roof Rescue, JobNimbus helps roofers not only grow their businesses but also make a lasting difference in the communities they serve.

“When I first reached out to Cason [Curriden, Olympus Roofing owner], the very first conversation we had was about how we can do good and make an impact,” a JobNimbus leader shared. “Today, they’ve done exactly that. They’re real heroes, giving away a roof and changing lives.”

(Industry context: 90% of homeowners say reviews are important or very important when choosing a roofer. Acts of service like Operation Roof Rescue build trust and reputation in ways that no ad campaign ever could.)

The Bigger Picture

Operation Roof Rescue isn’t just a one-time event. Olympus Roofing plans to give away four free roofs this year, supported by sponsors and community partners who share the same vision.

For Elena’s family, the gift of a new roof lifted a weight that had caused constant anxiety. For Olympus Roofing, it reinforced the values at the core of their business. And for JobNimbus, it was proof that when contractors are empowered with the right tools and partnerships, they can become true heroes.

“I worked at JobNimbus for over three years, so to come full circle, owning Olympus Roofing and having JobNimbus help—it’s incredible. They’re not just a partner in business, they’re part of the community.”
