Your project is completed
Roof, siding, windows, masonry or a commercial restoration: the crew finishes, cleans up and does the final inspection, like any other job.

Roof4Roof is a for-profit, for-progress company. A share of every project we complete in New Jersey, residential or commercial, goes to a family who cannot afford a safe, dry roof, or to a charity our client chooses. We do not just write checks. We show up, we build, we protect. Fifteen years in, that promise has become $1.5 million and more than 1,300 families.
In 2010 Chuck Anania visited Cali, Colombia with his family. What he saw stayed with him: collapsing, leaking roofs over children and the elderly, serious health and safety problems that a roofer could fix in a day, in homes where no one could pay for it. He came home with twenty years of roofing behind him and one question: how do you help people who cannot help themselves, continuously, not once?
The answer was to build it into the business. For every roof we sell, we give: emergency roofing and home repairs for families in need, at no charge to them, funded by a share of every completed project. Roof4Roof is the first and only roofing company built on this One4One model. "One of life's most basic needs is shelter," Chuck says. "Keeping a safe, dry roof over your family's head has become increasingly difficult for many homeowners."
It begins the moment you sign your proposal. From then on you are part of the mission as an Everyday Hero partner. Here is exactly what happens, and who decides where the help goes.
Roof, siding, windows, masonry or a commercial restoration: the crew finishes, cleans up and does the final inspection, like any other job.
Instead of just sending a receipt, a Roof4Roof ambassador comes to inspect the work with you, photograph the results, and present you with a choice.
A family in need, children's initiatives, medical research, a religious organization, an animal shelter, an environmental cause. If it matters to you, it matters to us.
Our founder contacts your chosen organization or family himself. Depending on the need, we allocate a share of your project's proceeds, deliver materials and labor, or become a long-term advocate.
Pooled with hundreds of other clients each year, your share funds roofs, emergency repairs, supplies and mission trips: about $100,000 a year, locally and abroad, documented so you can see it.
Photos, stories and videos from the field come back to our clients and this page. Since 2010: $1.5 million, 1,300 families, six countries.
When you work with Roof4Roof, the value of your dollar is multiplied: you protect your property and give someone else a path to a better life. We believe in building a legacy of Hope, Health and Happiness.

Families in Guatemala; emergency supplies after the California wildfires; random acts of kindness in a Raleigh supermarket; relief funds for Nigeria. Help goes where the need shows up.
The big projects have numbers. The small ones, a sponsorship, a toy drive, a blood drive, a roof for a classmate, are how most weeks go. Both belong here.
Every roof is a story. These are a few we have written down; the rest are in our blog, and in the memories of the crews who went.

Living alone in an unfinished house to protect her lot, with no income to finish it. "We're here to give you a free roof."
