Beantown Home Improvements Community & Charity Involvement
BEANTOWN 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
BEANTOWN 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! Beantown 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 Beantown 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 Beantown 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. #BeantownHI #OwensCorning #Driftwood
In early 2017 BEANTOWN 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.
Beantown 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 Beantown’s 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.

I received several quotes for my roof replacement. I chose Beantown Home Improvements because of Derek Straughn’s quick response and follow up. My neighbor had recommended Beantown, and I know how pleased he was with their work.Derek was … More very professional throughout the process. He followed up with the quote and answered all of my questions. He communicated the timeline clearly so I knew what to expect. The crew arrived as scheduled and did a complete and quality replacement in just one day. It was a pleasure to do business with Beantown Home Improvements because they do what they say they are going to do. I feel like I received the highest quality roof replacement at the best price. I highly recommend Beantown Home Improvement for your roof replacement. -
My 20 year old home was experiencing lots of wood rot and issues with poorly installed Hardy Planks. It was a huge project with multiple issues. I had multiple estimates and quotes but went with Beantown because they were the ONLY company … More that broke everything down, compared products and costs, didnt try to upsell and basically provided me with a sense of trust. They arrived ready to go, pulling 12 hour days in intense heat. Any questions throughout the week long project were handled quickly and informatively. Excellent clean up. Highly recommend. I could not be happier. -
My family had a major renovation project (roof & siding) and I was at a loss as to where to begin. As soon as Beantown came to give us an estimate, I was so impressed with their knowledge and presentation that I knew they were the company … More I would feel comfortable working with on this job. Jim was patient with me as I made all my decisions. In sometimes bitter cold weather, their extremely hard-working crew worked quickly yet precisely to complete the job in the time frame given to us. The lines of communication were always open for me and Beantown addressed all my questions and concerns until the project was completed. And the result is that our 46-year-old home, and outbuildings, have been restored to beauty once again. I highly recommend Beantown Home Improvements for all your construction projects. -
From the very first consultation Beantown was great! They took the time to explain the replacement roofing process and kept us updated during install. The install was quick. professional and they cleaned up well at the end. Would … More highly recommend for any remodeling or constructtion needs!
