What sets ALFE apart
Manufacturer-Trained Installation
Our install training comes straight from the manufacturer — the GAF Roofing Academy Certificate of Achievement, a hands-on residential program run by GAF itself. We install to published specification, so the manufacturer's material warranty stands behind every system we put on.
Written Scope on Every Job
Every project begins with a written scope of work, photo documentation, and a workmanship warranty in writing. No verbal-only agreements. You receive documentation that answers every question about what was done to your roof.
Philadelphia-Based, Owner-Operated
Sultan El Jabali built ALFE to serve the community he grew up in. Licensed in PA — HIC #PA227632 · Insured. Serving Philadelphia, the Main Line, Bucks, Montgomery, Chester and Delaware Counties, South Jersey and Northern Delaware.
Trust. Quality. Precision.
At ALFE Roofing, we're more than a roofing company — we're your partner in protecting your home. Here's how we stand out:
Inside Your Free 27-Point Roof Report Card
7 areas we assess on every roof
Roofing Surface
Shingle condition, granule loss, curling, cracking, and missing sections — documented by zone across every roof plane.
Flashing & Penetrations
Chimney, skylight, vent pipe, and valley flashing — the most common source of active leaks on roofs that look fine from the street.
Gutters & Drainage
Slope, attachment, downspout extensions, and debris load — assessed for water management failure risk along the full drainage path.
Ventilation System
Ridge vents, soffit vents, and attic airflow ratio — poor ventilation degrades shingles from the inside and shortens lifespan by years.
Fascia, Soffit & Trim
Rot, separation, and paint failure at the roofline — early indicators of moisture intrusion that accelerate into structural damage.
Decking & Structure
Soft spots, delamination, and sagging — assessed via walking pattern and visual check of exposed sections where access allows.
Interior Moisture Indicators
Attic staining, insulation compression, and daylight penetration — the interior often reveals damage months before the exterior does.
Our Three Commitments
On-Time
We turn up inside the window we gave you. If we are going to be late you hear it from us before the window closes, not after it — and from the person doing the work, not an answering service.
Honest Diagnosis
If our inspection finds your roof in great shape with no work needed — we tell you that. We'd rather have your trust than a sale.
Your Choice of Options
Where there is more than one honest way to fix it, you get all of them in writing — what each costs and how long each should last, repair alongside replacement rather than replacement alone. Nothing is pitched at your door. You decide on your own time.
