AB-Tec Roofing Home Improvement is a Dracut, Massachusetts contractor run by Frank, working under the AB-Tec name on roofing and a broader range of home-improvement projects. The company's Houzz listing describes copper and slate roofing, gutter installation and repair, ice-belt and snow-rail work, rubber roofing, and carpentry and painting. Google places the business at a 5-star average from 41 ratings, and the 24 written reviews on file, dating from 2022 through 2026, describe consistently fast response to storm and ice-dam emergencies. One customer whose slate roof was leaking during a storm said Frank was the only one of ten roofers contacted who was knowledgeable enough to address all areas of concern, since newer roofers won't take on slate work. Several others describe him arriving the same day or next day during major snowstorms to clear ice dams and check for water damage. The same reviewers describe Frank handling work well beyond roofing — deck repairs, a bathroom and floor renovation that included building a stone patio, carpentry, painting, window and gutter work, and seasonal driveway plowing. Several say they've used him for 10 to 20-plus years across multiple projects, and pricing comes up repeatedly as fair or reasonable; reviewers also describe him communicating clearly and cleaning up after each job. As with any home-improvement hire, confirm current licensing, insurance, and a written estimate before booking. For roofing — particularly slate roofs, ice-dam emergencies, and storm damage — and for smaller home projects from the same trusted contractor, AB-Tec is a well-reviewed choice in the Dracut and Andover area; given how in demand emergency response tends to be after a storm, ask about current availability.

Frank is our go-to contractor for 10 plus years. He plows our driveway too. Dependable, Expert in his trade. No one knows our slate roof like Frank. Thank Goodness!! Trust his word, because he follows through. I can't say enough good things about Frank. Someone called a company in Cambridge once because they were new condo owner.There quote was triple $ and couldn't find the leak . Luckily I spoke up. Frank came to the rescue with a reasonable "made sense" price. Knew where the leak was immediately!! We were so happy! Thanks for all your expertise Frank.
We have a 100+ year old, three-story, high-ceilinged house under an aging roof, so whenever there is a severe storm or wind, it induces great anxiety in us. Yesterday, we woke up to find not only a part of our fence down, but worse still, chunks of roof shingles on the ground. The weather forecast was showing several days of rain later in the week. We were lucky to get Frank of Ab Tec available the following day; Today, they showed up on time and got to work, maneuvering three or four ladders up on the very steep rooftops. Not only did they fix all the damaged spots, but they also identified extra areas shoddily done by a previous contractor and fixed them without additional cost on our part. Throughout, Frank provided detailed explanations and before-and-after photos. Excellent job, they did!
I had a great experience with AB-TEC Roofing and Home Improvement . They responded very quickly when I needed help with an ice dam on my roof and made time to come out the next day. Frank was thorough and careful while clearing the snow and ice, and he took the time to answer all of my questions along the way. He also gave me helpful suggestions on how to address the underlying issue in the spring to help prevent it from happening again. Excellent service — I’d highly recommend him!
Cleared ice dams.
Frank is the best -he's helped clear our roof twice from this horrible storm. He is very responsive and fast. He looked through the house and checked thoroughly for any water damage. I highly recommend him!
