DelPrete Home Improvements Community & Charity Involvement
DelPrete Home Improvements isn’t just involved with roofing, siding, windows, doors, and decks. No, we feel very fortunate to be where we are today and as such, we try to give back to the community and several charities whenever possible. Helping our service men and women is of major importance to the owner Jim DelPrete and he is constantly trying to help those who have afforded us the freedoms we have today.
Below is a list of just some of the events we have been involved with and partake in.
Working with Our Deployed
DelPrete Home Improvements took a leap of faith on this one, especially being a small company. The homeowner’s husband is deployed and they were having serious leaks in the roof. The funding for this project was entirely coming from donated sources such as the VFW Yuengling Beer and several other sources, long after the roof was to be done! DelPrete Home Improvements stepped up and installed the roof without receiving any money whatsoever, knowing that donations would come in from sources over the next 6 months.
2022, 2023, & 2024 Sponsorship – Middleboro Youth Softball
We couldn’t be more excited to continue serving our community by sponsoring the Middleboro Youth Softball Team in 2022!
2020 Habitat for Humanity Project – Plymouth
It’s a new year but the same great DelPrete Home Improvements crew. We were in Plymouth, MA at the Habitat for Humanity project off Long Pond Road on Tuesday 1/14/2020. We donated the material and labor to a much-deserving Veteran and her family – check out the excerpt below. No matter the roof, we are always using the best materials on the market, which is Owens Corning. The color installed here is Driftwood. The DelPrete Home Improvements crew wants to thank Tracy for her sacrifices and duty to this great Nation. We also wish her and her family a Happy New Year with new beginnings.
Tracy served 9 years in the Air Force and 6 years in the Army Reserve. She served 6 tours overseas. She left the military to adopt her 2 young cousins who were 9 and 11 at the time. They are now 16 and 14. Tracy and her boys will receive the 3-bedroom ranch. #DelPreteHI #OwensCorning #Driftwood
In early 2017 DelPrete Home Improvements launched what it hopes to be a yearly event in which we will give away a brand new roof of 20 square (2000sf of actual roof area) to an American Veteran (US Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy) FREE of charge. The below roof was installed on November 15th, 2017 in Abington and this program will continue to run on an annual basis.
The below Owens Corning roof in Driftwood was installed on November 23rd, 2018 in Bridgewater.
The below Owens Corning roof in Estate Gray was installed on November 16th, 2019 in Whitman.

November 20, 2016 Veteran Surprise
To us every day is Veteran’s Day and today we visited Webster Rehab and South Shore Rehab in Rockland to pay tribute to 32 of our American Veterans.
DelPrete Home Improvements partnered with Ken Blanchard at Soldier and Family Services to get the sizes of 32 of our veterans. Ken does all the legwork getting their sizes and then brands the bags with DelPrete Home Improvements’ information who sponsors all of the clothing. These veterans had no idea we were coming today and it brought tears to their eyes, and ours. Each receives a veteran knit hat, 2 veteran t-shirts with American Flags on them, a veteran sweatshirt and 2 pairs of socks.
We do this to show our sincere appreciation for their service and was truly an honor to meet all of them. Their service ranged from WWII, Korean War, Vietnam, and Iraqi war veterans. Men and women alike. We truly thank you all for your service.

Met the Team at the Home Improvement Show at Gillette, they did a great job on our addition and main house. We had an unusual roof configuration and the sales team was very good at working with me to come up with an installation that worked. … More See the attached photo, downspout from a small section of roof on the front of the new addition, they were able to bring it down the fascia just like we discussed, that is the mark of a top notch installation contractor, works with the home owner to make the finished job come out perfect.I have been in the Engineering and Construction Industry for nearly 50 years and DelPrete Home Improvement has been one of the few contractors that I have given 5 stars to, they are pleasant to work with, knowledgeable on their craft/trade and the installation crew was professional and friendly on one of the hottest days of this year.I would absolutely consider using DelPrete again in the future.

We had DelPrete replace our 30 y/o Windows, Clapboard and Cedar Shingles. I cant say enough good things about the whole process. Although this past winter pushed back our start date, once the job was started I could not believe how quickly … More and efficiently Estuardo's crew worked. From 7AM to 6:30 PM 6 days a week, they all went about their business and did a thorough clean up at days end. Dave was always available to answer any questions we had during the project. The house came out fantastic. So looking forward to having them back to work on our porch reconstruction late summer/early fall. Thank you again to everyone at DelPrete for the excellent job and just being good people to work with.

Five star experience all round!The communication from the sales and project management teams was first class throughout including the job scope, advanced prep requirements and on-site ETAs.Pre and post job inspections allowed as much time … More as necessary to provide clarity on the existing structural conditions and explain the various aspects of the completed work.The roofing crew arrived on time, were very courteous and presentable, were mindful of the flora, did a great job with the install and clean-up and completed the job in a day as promised.Everything above also applied to Part two of this project which was to replace all of the exterior cedar shingles and wood plank with Hardie fiber cement and trim with a couple of new windows also installed in the garage.Like Derek beforehand Project Managers Jimmy and Dave were exemplary throughout along with Estuardo leading an equally hardworking, courteous, presentable and conscientious crew.Once again this project was completed on time with exceptional communicationthroughout from Jimmy and Dave.There were some minor post-job aesthetics that were identified by both parties (which was very reassuring) but again nothing was too much trouble for them and Estuardo to diligently attend to in a concerted effort to ensure that we, as the homeowners, were left totally happy with the end result.

I recently had my roof replaced by Del Prete Home Improvements (formerly Beantown Home Improvements, Inc), and honestly it was a really smooth experience.The pricing was fair and easy to understand, and the crew was great to work with. … More They showed up on time, worked hard, and got everything done faster than I expected.They kept me updated along the way and were easy to get in touch with if I had any questions. Cleanup was solid too—no mess left behind, which I definitely appreciated.Overall, I’m really happy with how everything turned out. The new roof looks great and I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing roofing work done.
