ISHPEMING – Marquette County Habitat for Humanity will continue a partnership with Rainy Creek Construction and GAF, one of the nation’s leading roofing manufacturers, to provide a new roof–completely free of charge–for its latest home build in Ishpeming.

Rainy Creek Construction, a certified GAF Master Elite Contractor, donated all of their labor for the project, while GAF contributed the roofing materials. The roof installation was completed in August 2025 at the build site located at 9 Southwoods Lane, in Ishpeming.

As material costs continue to rise, in-kind donations like this play a vital role in keeping construction costs manageable and homes affordable for Habitat’s Partner Families.

Each adult member of a Partner Family contributes 250 hours of “sweat equity,” working side by side with habitat staff and volunteers to help build their future home. Upon completion, families purchase the homes through affordable, income-based mortgages.
