Of the clean-up, that customer wrote, "you wouldn't even know they were here." The company's website lists roof inspection, repair, replacement, storm damage repairs and asphalt shingle and metal roofing systems, and names a service area of seven counties, among them Cumberland, Penobscot and Kennebec. On Thumbtack it describes itself as a roofing team of six working in Portland, ME since 2018. It shows 5 stars from 41 Google ratings and 5.0 from 7 ratings on Thumbtack. A recent Google customer said the company went to the site the day they called and provided a quote the next morning. A recent Google customer who had several roof leaks and improper ventilation met with a few contractors about the project and wrote of being very confident in the quality of the new roof. A 2025 Thumbtack customer said Luis met them for a free quote 3 days after the first inquiry, emailed a quote with several options and adjusted it to their budget. That 2025 customer said Luis told them the roof replacement would be done in one day, and it was. A 2025 Thumbtack customer who hired the company to replace a roof said Luis and his team explained the process, completed the work on time and left everything clean. A 2025 Thumbtack customer said the crew made sure the area was clean of nails and debris. **Strengths:** - Same-day site visit — a recent customer said they came the day of the call - One-day roof replacement — a 2025 customer said Luis called it one day, and it was - A budget-fitted quote — a 2025 customer said Luis adjusted it to their budget - Job-site clean-up — a 2025 customer said nails and debris were cleared **Where sources disagree:** - The website claims 12 years in business, while the Thumbtack profile says the company has worked since 2018. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A recent customer said the company re-shingled a garage roof and replaced the house and garage gutters with 7 workers between about 11:00 am and 6:00 pm _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2pKVVdsZEJhR1ZxUm5WNmMyMWpNSFZWV25oUGNtYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xa0224ade1c39e310!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOjJUWldBaGVqRnV6c21jMHVVWnhPcmc%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ A & J Construction recently re-shingled my garage roof and replaced the house & garage gutters.
