Roofs From The Heart Foundation Wilmington Delaware

Roofs from the Heart Collaborates with GAF to Provide Full Roof Replacement

In partnership with GAF and G. Fedale Roofing and Siding, Roofs from the Heart is installing a new roof for
another deserving Newark family at no cost to them. The partnership between the roofing manufacturer and
Roofs from the Heart began in 2024 as GAF committed to supplying 4 homes with the shingles needed for
full replacement.

The homeowners, who lost their eldest daughter in 2020, are retired and are not only dealing with their own
health concerns but also caring for their youngest daughter, who has had debilitating health issues. There are
several active leaks that have led to deterioration of walls and floors on the inside of the home. The
replacement of the roof system for this family will lead to a reduction in health risks associated with damp
homes, such as mold and mildew, increasing air quality, and eliminate ways for pests and allergens to enter
the home.

Roofs from the Heart will be covering the costs for labor and installation, and GAF, North America’s largest
roofing and waterproofing manufacturer, will donate roofing materials. G. Fedale is the general contractor for
the organization and offers Roofs from the Heart discounts on their roof replacement contracts.
The new roofing system will also help two other home repair organizations be able to complete their work to
help this family further. Milford Housing Development Corp and Good Neighbors played a crucial part in
this project and Energize Delaware was a major donor for funding this roof replacement. All of these home
repair nonprofit organizations work together to positively impact disadvantaged homeowners. Roofs from
the Heart is a nonprofit organization that was founded by G. Fedale Roofing and Siding, one of the state’s
most reputable roofing companies. Roofs from the Heart received their 501(c) 3 tax exempt status in July
2023 and immediately started raising funds to help impact the underserved communities in Delaware.
Roofs from the Heart’s mission is to provide quality new roofs to those who cannot maintain that basic
provision of safe and secure shelter for their families, in order to keep the family in their home, and in their
community. The concept of the roof giveaway has been in place and operated by G. Fedale Roofing and
Siding since 2016: it was after considerable need, interest, and growth that they decided to form their own
organization.

This collaboration is part of GAF’s social impact initiative, GAF Community Matters, which is focused on
making a positive difference as neighbors and partners in the community by leveraging roofing expertise,
resources, and products to help build resilient communities..

GAF, Roofs from the Heart, and G. Fedale Roofing and Siding plan to work on several homes together in
2024.

About Roofs from the Heart
Roofs from the Heart has a roof giveaway program for individual families in need of roof replacement as well
as collaborates with many other home emergency repair organizations for roof repair and replacement. They
feel the roof is just as important as the structure of the home, and many do not have the means to sustain
their dire home repairs. Roofs from the Heart goals are to create safe and secure homes, reduce health risks,
increase energy efficiency, and improve neighborhood and communities. They work in low- to- moderate
income households, focusing on disadvantaged and underserved populations.

Roofs from the Heart accepts applications for the roof replacement program on their website,
www.roofsfromtheheart.org. They also accept donations here as well.
