## The honest read

Adam Vaillancourt Roofing & Gutters has been putting new roofs on homes across New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Southern Maine since 2004, and the company says it's still run today by its founder, Adam Vaillancourt, out of a Chelmsford office. Google shows 183 ratings averaging 4.9 stars, and the reviews describe a company built around one thing: a full roof, gone in a single day.

That one-day turnaround shows up again and again through 2025 and 2026 — a July 2026 reviewer describes an amazing experience with the entire roof installation completed in just one day, and another the same month says the crew showed up with a huge crew and finished in one day. The company backs it with documentation: reviewers across dozens of jobs mention project managers — Nate, Rodolfo, Keith, Jose, among others — sending photos and video during the work and walking the homeowner around the finished job afterward. Gutters are the other recurring job: reviewers in 2024 describe full gutter replacements, one calling it simply the best gutter system they found. Further back, a November 2023 review described the company recommending a roof restoration instead of a full replacement after a thorough attic-video inspection, at a lower cost than the homeowner expected.

One thing worth asking about directly: a May 2026 review describes a starkly different experience — friendly before the contract was signed, then a three-week wait to get scheduled, a missed appointment day, and promised before/during/after photos that never arrived. It's the one clearly negative account in an otherwise deep and consistent record, but it's recent and specific enough to raise directly. The Better Business Bureau lists the company as A+ accredited and shows a Massachusetts CSSL contractor license number on file for it — that's the Bureau's own record rather than an independent registry check, so it's worth confirming the license is current when getting a quote.

For a roof replacement, repair, or gutter job anywhere in its Massachusetts–New Hampshire–Maine service area, this is a company with two decades in business and an unusually deep, mostly glowing review history — just get scheduling commitments in writing, given the one recent account where that broke down.

**Strengths:**
- One-day turnaround — many 2025-2026 roof jobs finished in a single day
- Documented progress — project managers send photos and video during the work
- Gutter work praised — repeated full gutter replacements called out by name
- Long track record — 165 reviews from 2022 to 2026 across five sources
- Cost-conscious option — a 2023 review credits a lower-cost restoration over replacement

**Concerns:**
- Scheduling breakdown — a May 2026 review reports a three-week delay and a missed appointment
- Promised photos undelivered — the same review says before/during/after photos never arrived
- License is directory-listed — BBB shows the CSSL number, not an independent registry check
