OPENING DOORS TO HOPE: A+ GARAGE DOORS PARTNERS WITH MAKE-A-WISH UTAH THIS SUMMER
In the heart of Utah, where community and family values run deep, a local business is proving that “opening doors” means much more than just home improvement. This June and July, A+ Garage Doors—a family-owned staple in the Beehive State—is teaming up with Make-A-Wish Utah to transform lives. At the center of this mission is a vibrant 13-year-old boy named Aidan, whose journey is inspiring a summer of generosity.
14 PROTECT THE BEAUTY AND VALUE OF YOUR HOME THIS SUMMER
Your roof is one of the most important investments you will ever make for your home. While many homeowners focus on kitchens, landscaping, or interior upgrades, the roof is what protects everything underneath it. During Utah’s summer months, your roof faces constant exposure to heat, UV rays, wind, and sudden storms. Over time, these conditions can quietly wear down even the strongest roofing systems.
In the heart of Utah, where community and family values run deep, a local business is proving that “opening doors” means much more than just home improvement. This June and July, A+ Garage Doors—a family-owned staple in the Beehive State—is teaming up with Make-AWish Utah to transform lives. At the center of this mission is a vibrant 13-year-old boy named Aidan, whose journey is inspiring a summer of generosity.
A Legacy of Local Care
Since its inception, A+ Garage Doors has been more than just a service provider. Founded by Carrie Kelsch, the company was built on the foundation of quality, integrity, and a deep-seated commitment to the Utah community. As highlighted by the team at A+, they don’t just see themselves as garage door pros; they see themselves as neighbors. This summer, that neighborly spirit is taking on its most ambitious form yet as they seek to grant life-changing wishes for children facing critical illnesses.
Meet Aidan: A Force of Nature
Thirteen-year-old Aidan is the kind of kid who defines the phrase “perpetual motion.” If there is a way to move, jump, or compete, Aidan is doing it. His favorite color is red—fitting for a young man with such a high-energy spirit. Whether he is zooming through the neighborhood on his bike or scooter, gliding on rollerblades, or showing off his latest tricks from a diving board, Aidan is happiest when he is outside. His competitive edge is just as sharp. Aidan recently wrapped up successful seasons in both flag football and baseball, proving that his love for sports is matched only by his athleticism. When he finally slows down—which his family says is a rare occurrence—you can find him immersed in
video games or catching up on his favorite episodes of Teen Wolf.
Aidan is also a budding foodie with a sophisticated palate for a teenager. While he’ll never turn down a plate of tacos or a steaming bowl of ramen noodles, he is known for his adventurous spirit, always willing to try almost anything once. But above all, Aidan’s heart belongs to his family. Whether they are hunting in the Utah wilderness, fishing by a quiet lake, or splashing in the water, those shared moments are what he treasures most.
A Night at the Ballpark
The partnership between A+ Garage Doors and Make-A-Wish Utah will culminate in a spectacular celebration on July 25th at The Ballpark at America First Square in Daybreak, South Jordan. Aidan will be the guest of honor as he joins the A+ Garage Doors team for a Salt Lake Bees game.
The evening promises to be unforgetta-
ble. During the ceremonial opening pitch, A+ Garage Doors founder Carrie Kelsch will take the mound—not just to throw a strike, but to make a special announcement directly supporting Aidan’s Wish journey. It’s a moment designed to celebrate Aidan’s resilience and to remind the community of the power of a collective helping hand.
How You Can Help Open a Door
The beauty of this partnership lies in how easily Utah residents can get involved. A+ Garage Doors has set a powerful goal for the months of June and July 2026. For every new garage door purchased during these two months, A+ Garage Doors will donate $100 directly to Make-A-Wish Utah (up to 200 doors).
This $20,000 commitment aims to ensure that children like Aidan receive the wish they’ve been dreaming of—an experience that provides a much-needed escape from medical treatments and brings a sense of wonder back into their lives.
If you’ve been waiting to upgrade your home’s curb appeal or have been putting off necessary maintenance, there has never been a better time to act. By choosing a local leader like A+ Garage Doors, you aren’t just getting a high-quality product; you are helping to fund a dream for a local child.

PROTECT THE BEAUTY AND VALUE OF YOUR HOME THIS SUMMER
Your roof is one of the most important investments you will ever make for your home. While many homeowners focus on kitchens, landscaping, or interior upgrades, the roof is what protects everything underneath it. During Utah’s summer months, your roof faces constant exposure to heat, UV rays, wind, and sudden storms. Over time, these conditions can quietly wear down even the strongest roofing systems.
Summer is the perfect time to evaluate the condition of your roof and address small issues before they become expensive problems. Whether your roof is beginning to show signs of aging or you are considering a full replacement, investing in quality roofing now can protect both the beauty and long-term value of your home for years to come.
At S & S Roofing, Inc., we believe a roof should do more than simply cover a house. A professionally installed roofing system enhances curb appeal, improves energy efficiency, increases property value, and provides lasting peace of mind.
Why Summer Is the Best Time to Invest in Your Roof
Utah summers can be demanding on roofing materials. Constant sunlight and high temperatures cause shingles to expand and contract, which may lead to cracking, curling, blistering, or deterioration over time. Even roofs that appear fine from the ground may already have hidden damage developing beneath the surface.
Addressing roofing concerns during the summer months offers several advantages:
• Ideal weather conditions for roofing installation
• Longer daylight hours for efficient project completion
• Opportunity to prevent leaks before fall and winter weather arrives
• Easier identification of heat-related roof wear and ventilation problems
Waiting too long to replace or repair a roof often leads to more extensive issues. What starts as a small area of damage can quickly spread into leaks,
water intrusion, insulation problems, mold growth, or structural damage. Taking a proactive approach now can save homeowners thousands of dollars in future repairs.
A Roof Is More Than an Expense — It’s a Long-Term Investment
Many homeowners initially focus on the cost of a roof replacement rather than the long-term value it provides. However, choosing high-quality materials and expert installation is one of the smartest investments you can make for your property.
A premium roofing system offers longterm benefits such as:
Increased Home Value
A new roof is one of the first things buyers notice when viewing a home. A well-maintained, professionally installed roof improves curb appeal and increases confidence in the overall condition of the property.
Better Protection
Your roof serves as the first line of defense against Utah’s weather conditions. Strong winds, heavy rain, snow, and extreme heat can all take a toll over time. Investing in durable materials and proper installation helps protect your home year-round.
Improved Energy Efficiency
An aging roof with poor ventilation can trap heat inside your home, increasing energy costs during the summer. Modern roofing systems are designed to improve airflow and efficiency, helping homeowners maintain more comfortable indoor temperatures.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
Low-quality roofing materials or improper installation often lead to repeated repairs and ongoing maintenance. A properly installed roof built with superior materials provides long-lasting performance and fewer unexpected issues.
The Importance of Quality Craftsmanship
Even the best roofing materials can fail if they are not installed correctly. That is why choosing an experienced and reputable roofing contractor matters just as much as selecting the right shingles or roofing system.
At S & S Roofing, Inc., quality craftsmanship is at the center of everything we do. Our team takes pride in delivering roofing solutions that are built to last while maintaining
the highest level of professionalism and attention to detail throughout every project.
We understand that your home is one of your most valuable investments. That is why we work closely with homeowners to ensure every roofing project is completed with care, precision, and clear communication from start to finish.
From small repairs to full roof replacements, our goal is always the same: to provide reliable roofing solutions that homeowners can trust for years to come.
Signs Your Roof May Need Attention
Not all roof problems are immediately obvious. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that damage has been developing long before a leak appears inside the home.
Here are a few common signs that your roof may need professional attention:
• Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
• Discoloration
• Granules collecting in gutters
• Sagging roof lines
• Water stains on interior ceilings or walls
• Increased energy bills
• Roof age approaching 20 years or more
If you notice any of these warning signs, scheduling a professional inspection can help identify issues early before they become more costly.
Protect Your Home Before Problems Grow
One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is waiting until major damage occurs before contacting a roofing professional. Unfortunately, roof problems rare-
ly improve on their own. Small issues tend to grow worse over time, especially during Utah’s changing seasons.
Summer provides the perfect opportunity to take a proactive approach. Whether your roof needs a minor repair or a complete replacement, addressing concerns now can help you avoid emergency repairs later in the year.
At S & S Roofing, Inc. , we are committed to helping homeowners make informed decisions about their roofing needs. We provide honest recommendations, premium materials, expert installation, and dependable service designed to protect your home long-term.
