People see the trucks, the crews, the uniforms, and the large roofing projects we complete today, but very few know where Ralphie’s Roofing truly began.
Years before Ralphie’s Roofing officially became a company, I was just a guy doing side jobs after work to earn a little extra money. Back then, a $500 aluminum silver coat was a big deal. Every opportunity meant another chance to learn, improve my craft, and slowly build something I dreamed could one day become a real business.
Through every single step of that journey, Ericka was right beside me.
She didn’t just support me—she worked alongside me. She carried heavy cans of aluminum fiber silver coat up ladders, helped tie in flat roofs, cleaned every job site, and did whatever needed to be done without ever asking for credit. She believed in Ralphie’s Roofing long before it had a name, a logo, or a reputation.
She was there when we didn’t even have a logo. She was there when our first logo was an Italian man with a mustache. She was there as we grew into the custom mascot we proudly use today, inspired by our family dog, Chubbs. She has watched Ralphie’s Roofing evolve from an idea into a company with an identity, a brand, and a reputation that we’re incredibly proud of.
She was there when we were hoping for just one phone call. Today, she’s still here as we’re installing $25,000 complete GAF architectural shingle roofing systems and Elevate white granulated flat roofing systems for homeowners throughout Philadelphia, Bucks County, Montgomery County, Delaware County, Chester County, and South Jersey.
One of the proudest moments in our journey was being voted Philadelphia’s Favorite Roofing Company in The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Philly Favorites Contest. That recognition wasn’t earned overnight. It came from years of hard work, honest craftsmanship, and customers who believed in us. Behind every one of those accomplishments was Ericka, helping build this company one job at a time.
From $500 silver coats to award-winning roofing projects… from no logo, to an Italian man with a mustache, to the Chubbs-inspired mascot that represents our family today… she has been there through every challenge, every milestone, and every success.
Thank you, Ericka, for believing in me before anyone else did. Thank you for helping carry more than just roofing materials—you helped carry a dream that became Ralphie’s Roofing.
And to every customer who has trusted us over the years, thank you. Because of your support, a small side hustle has grown into a family-owned roofing company that was voted Philadelphia’s Favorite Roofing Company. We promise to continue earning your trust with every roof we install.
Built on Trust. Backed by Quality.
