DePalma

What DePalma does

DePalma Construction, Inc. (DBA: DePalma Roofing & Construction) is a privately held, full-service roofing and exterior home improvement contractor founded in 1999 and headquartered in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania. The company installs, repairs, and replaces residential and commercial roofing systems across asphalt shingles (GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration), standing seam and corrugated metal, and flat/low-slope commercial membranes (EPDM, TPO, PVC, BUR), and complements roofing with seamless gutter installation, gutter protection, siding (vinyl, fiber cement, wood), skylights, and customer financing. Operations are concentrated in Central Pennsylvania, with service offices in Dillsburg, York, Mechanicsburg, and Lancaster covering Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Dover, Enola, Gettysburg, and surrounding communities.

The company's underlying technology stack is conventional for the trade: industry-standard roofing materials sourced from major OEMs (GAF, Owens Corning, Mastic/Norandex, Plygem), on-site project consulting via trained estimators (Rob Diehl, Steve Hammel, Bill Kimmel, Mike Marroquin), and a website-driven lead intake funnel supported by local SEO, Google My Business, Facebook, YouTube, and BBB accreditation. Differentiation rests on manufacturer credentials — GAF Master Elite and GAF Top President's Club Roofer status (top 3% of roofers), Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, and an A+ BBB rating — which authorize the company's signature transferable lifetime shingle warranties and 10/25-year workmanship guarantees backed by GAF. Quality control is reinforced through third-party GAF inspections on residential re-roofs.

DePalma's business model is direct-to-consumer and sales-led: quote-based pricing with free on-site written estimates guaranteed within 24 hours, one-day completion on most residential re-roofs, and complimentary gutter cleaning bundled with every job. Revenue streams are transactional and project-based across residential installation, residential repair, commercial roofing (EPDM/TPO/PVC/BUR/metal), and ancillary exterior services. Customer segments split between homeowners (primary) and commercial property owners (primary growth vertical), with a notable flagship institutional relationship as the exclusive roofer for Milton Hershey Schools' annual house-building vocational program. After entering during the early-2000s new-construction boom, the company pivoted in 2007 to re-roofing and repair in response to the housing downturn, and has since layered on multi-OEM certifications, commercial capabilities, and additional office locations.
