Adam has worked with G Fedale Roofing and siding company for over 15 years.

Early on before “Roofs From the Heart” was put in place, he recalls meeting a disabled veteran that was in dire need of a full roof replacement but had no financial means. He walked away from the home visit knowing they had to help this gentleman, whether he could pay for it or not. Adam continued to see a need for those in the community who needed roofing assistance.  Allen Fedale (Adam's brother) was working behind the scenes and created the early beginnings of our roof giveaway campaign for people in our communities like this.  Adam is now the CEO of G. Fedale Roofing and Siding and recognizes that they have the expertise, resources, and willingness to give back to the community that they live in and serve.

Adam Fedale grew up in Wilmington, DE and came from a large family (10 kids), and now has his own family of 4 children alongside his wonderful wife, Stacey. Weekends and evenings are filled with basketball, reading, serving in their church, and playing every sport known to man to keep up with his children! Adam believes that while the Roofs From the Heart initiative is just a small way to help, it's very tangible and not only provides a sense of dignity in homeownership, but also provides a healthy environment for families to live in and thrive.
