Get matched with top wood shake or composite roofing repairers in Franklin, MA

"It isn't very often that you deal with a contractor and can enjoy a peaceful night's sleep. So many contractors can sell you a bill of goods, do the job, only to never be heard from again. It has happened to me more times than I can count throughout the years. Jim Del Prete, the owner of Beantown Home Improvement, is a stand-up guy. He is what we growing up in Boston used to call "a straight shooter." We had our whole house's natural wood shingles replaced with Certainteed Polymer shingles (the 5 inch straight-edged kind) with the half-round shingles on one dormer. We also had 3 basement windows, a basement door, a porthole window, and 2 skylights replaced, all with composite material. The individuals that work for Jim are so hard-working. They came during light rain, cold wind, and a few super-hot days. They never complained and showed up every morning at around 8A and left in the late afternoon. If we found something that we didn't understand or that bothered us, Jim answered our texts and emails almost immediately. I sometimes called (not often) and Jim picked up his cell right away. The biggest take-away is that Jim is responsive to the nth degree. As I stated in the beginning - no sleepless nights. But I want to tell you the best part. My husband served honorably in the U.S. Marine Corp. What a pleasure to find out that Jim honors our nation's veterans in the most tangible of ways. He doesn't say "thank you for your service" he says "I will take 20% off the bill as my gratitude for your service." What do you think about that? So, you will be dealing with an honorable and obviously patriortic American who values you as a customer and a person who has served our country. The cost of the job is competitive, but don't be fooled by a lower bid. You want the best materials with a knowledgeable crew. And - Jim comes back. If you notice a few very minor things, they are fixed promptly, even after the final payment is made. The contract states a third down, a third when the crew shows up, and a third when the crew is competely finished. Like I said, don't worry if you find something later, it will get fixed. This is nothing for Beantown to come back, and he takes the worry away from you. Jim will be able to furnish us as a reference if you want to chat about our experience. We didn't know it at the time, but 2 of our neighbors had already hired him. I sought out a 5 star rated contractor from Home Advisor. Now, the house looks inviting and I have his sign still up on my lawn.Several neighbors have been over to take a look and ask a ton of questions. It is my belief that Jim should hear from a few soon. We are people who want to relax now after years of hard work and not have to paint or touch the outside of the house. We just can't be thinking about maintenance anymore and this was just the solution for us. Do yourself a favor. Call Jim. Ask him dozens of questions. Take the first step into a hassle-free experience. And remember, fear not. Jim will not desert you - from the beginning, middle,end or after. He will respond to you in a considerate, respectful manner."

"On Top Roofing did an excellent job. They arrived on time and cleaned up completely before they left. This was the second job they did for me over several years and their workmanship continues to be excellent."

"I went with Ken because of all the roofers I spoke to, he was the only one that wanted to address my concern about attic ventilation.  All of the other roofers just wanted to slap shingles up.  Ken, on the other hand, actually looked inside the attic and came up with a plan to get better ventilation in the attic.  With the winters we've been having, I wanted better ventilation to help mitigate any issues with ice dams.  His plan was to open up the soffit along the whole front and back sides of the house and put in a perforated material to allow much more ventilation than the small vents every 8 or so feet that I had.   Ken also had no problem pulling back the siding by the dormer windows and shed dormer because there was no flashing.  I even asked Ken if he could go overkill and use 12' of ice and water barrier from the bottom of the roof.  All of my concerns were addressed and I felt comfortable letting Ken's crew do the work.
I am pleased with the work done.  The roof/skylight was complete in one day, but everything else took a little longer than expected.  I had asked to have the siding by the dormers to be pulled back so that flashing could be put in place.  I had issues with leaking by the dormer windows because there was no flashing.  However, apparently my siding was a non-standard size and had to be special ordered.  This delayed the process for a bit.  Now the work is complete, and I'm happy everything turned out great!

"It went very well.  The owner, Richard Farina, suggested using an "architectural" shingle, which is heavier and should last for 30 years as opposed to 20 for most other types of shingle.  They installed Grace ice and water shield up to a distance that we requested.

We had one small leak this past storm on the front porch from the front corner of our bedroom dormer.  They were very responsive and came back the same day called and applied additional caulking between the roof shingles and the siding shingles, where a gap had been created.  I was pleased with their prompt responsiveness."

"We had Power do our Roof and Gutters on our 120 year old home. This is our first big project on our new house and Power made the experience great. Their were a couple of hiccups but Power was able to rectify the situations. The project was supposed to be a 2 day project, but when taking the old shingles off they noticed the roof decking needed to be repaired because of significant wood rot. They finished the total project in 4 days. Power met every expectation. One part of the process that was a little frustrating was that I didn’t have one point person to talk to if I had questions. I had multiple project managers but I did get all my questions answered when I called. We would definitely recommend them to anyone."

"I worked with David to get an estimate after a storm blew some shingles off of my rental property roof. David met with my insurance company and assisted with getting a claim approved for the repairs. The work was completed in a single day, and the new roof looks great. The whole process was nearly effortless on my end once David got involved. I would recommend anyone with roof damage or just looking for reliable workmanship to call them. All of the heavy liftings was on their end. I definitely hope that I do not need another roofing job anytime soon, but if I do there is only one call I will be making David at cedar valley."

"Peak Roofing was amazing to work with! My roof replacement was a long process—nearly six months of back-and-forth with my insurance company—but Nik and Neil, the owners, were incredibly helpful every step of the way. I contacted 7 roofing companies—5 never showed, and of the 2 that did, Peak stood out immediately. They were professional, thorough, and genuinely helpful. They answered all my (MANY!) questions, provided a detailed estimate for my insurance, and kept communication open throughout the process. Once approved, Peak continued to impress. They confirmed the installation date, checked in the night before and morning of, and both Nik and Neil stopped by to ensure everything was running smoothly. Their crew was friendly, hard-working, and got the entire roof done in a day! Cleanup was so thorough you wouldn't know they were there. Nik and Neil truly understand customer service. If you need a reliable, professional roofer, Peak Roofing is the one to call! Highly recommend!"

"Picked the right company. I spent a little time collecting quotes and meeting with roofers to help me choose the right company to install a new roof, vinyl siding and gutters. This was a huge expense for me and I wanted to make sure I would get the best value and a company I could trust. Well I can honestly say Connell Roofing delivered on all counts. Crew was efficient and professional. They continually sought out my feedback to make sure I was satisfied with the way the job was progressing. Crew noticed the rubber roof over my enclosed porch was failing and would need replacement in a few years. Ben gave me a great deal making the decision to replace an easy choice, saving me money and eliminating a future headache. They even replaced several exterior lighting fixtures at no additional cost. Ben has called several times to make sure there are no unforeseen issues. So far so good. I feel confident they will stand behind their work and trust they will be here if I need them."

"They did an awesome job! The roof looks GREAT! Plus the people are very professional and friendly. There will be no other company doing my projects but BBS General Construction Inc. from now on!"

"I met with Andrew and Chad today 05/18 for a full roof replacement. Both were knowledgeable and professional. They took the time to explain the project and answer all my questions. No pressure from either one of them and they helped provide me with a reasonable price for the job."
