AJ Exterior says it's been serving Boston since 1991, but its written review record is thin — just six reviews spread across nearly two decades — split between real praise and real, unresolved problems. The company is based in East Boston, describes itself as locally owned, and lists an Owens Corning affiliation. In a 2007 review, a customer praised project manager Tony and an organized, courteous crew. A 2024 Angi review called the work fast, efficient, and well-communicated, adding that a neighbor hired the company after watching the job get done. But two other accounts describe problems that didn't get fully resolved. A 2022 review described a $10,000 deposit on a rubber roof job that bubbled after installation and needed repeated re-dos. An older review, from 2009, found a roof still leaking from improperly installed flashing and a skylight that was never sealed — gaps the homeowner ended up sealing themselves. A December 2025 review described the company going unresponsive for months after leaving trash behind and breaking a tenant's doorbell. BBB lists AJ Exterior as an A+ accredited business citing 21 years in business, a framing that sits oddly next to that written record — worth treating as one data point rather than confirmation the issues above don't happen. With so few reviews on file and a real pattern of unresolved complaints alongside genuine praise, ask directly about warranty terms and who handles callbacks before signing for a larger job like a full roof replacement.
I have been dealing with Paul and he is not reliable. I have been calling him since August because they left trash and broke our tenants door bell. We are going into a new year and still have not heard back. I do not recommend this company.
Did a great job! Responsive and experienced. Good price!
Everything went smooth. Work was efficient & fast. Great communication with workers. Highly satisfied. Neighbor ended up using them also after he saw the work completed. They also offer Financing. A great advantage to use.
I wish I could read other reviews on BBB and other reviews before I chose AJ exterior. Again, a very disappointed experience and almost a nightmare. We have project in East Boston and hired AJ exterior for rubber roof. I have paid them 10K for deposit in Mar, 2022. They did send people there in the following week. However, nightmare began. The first time they completed the job is on March 22nd. After the job was completed, we found bubbles were everywhere. The good thing was they told me that it's caused by the glue they used and they agreed to redo the job. The 2nd time and 3rd time happened in Apr but the results were similar. Simply speaking, we still have bubbles everywhere. The owner Ed said he would come to take a look on Apr 26th, but he never came. We still have the permit open and a 'new' roof with bubbles everywhere.
In general, the job was done reasonably well and very fast but there were several problems afterwards which are still present. One of the roofs was not flashed properly and it still leaks. Also, one of the skylights was not sealed properly - after they already finished etc, we looked around and you could see the sky between the sill and the skylight. My wife and I sealed that off ourselves.
