Alexander Doyle LLC is a family-owned roofing, siding, gutter and general contracting business working out of a shop on Brookley Road in Jamaica Plain, Boston. The company says it is run by Alexander Doyle and his brothers, continuing a business their parents began in 1958 with chimney and smokestack work before adding roofing in 1968. It reports a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor Specialty License (CSSL 099361, covering roofing, windows and siding, demolition and solid-fuel devices) and Home Improvement Contractor registration 189091, which the state registry confirms as active under Alexander Doyle LLC. The company also says all employees are OSHA 10 certified and foremen OSHA 30 certified, and that it sits on CertainTeed's roofing products board. The Better Business Bureau grades the company A+ without accreditation, listing four employees, owner Alexander Doyle and 33 years in business, with a menu running from remodeling, additions and dormers to carpentry, decks, porches, windows, flooring, painting, chimney work and handyman repairs. BuildZoom shows an active HIC license, a score of 101 (88th percentile of Massachusetts contractors) and permits over the past three years for roofing and siding jobs in South Boston, Randolph, Milton, Jamaica Plain, Malden, North Attleboro and Brookline, mostly in the $5,000 to $50,000 range. Customer accounts are few but warm. Google shows five stars from five ratings, and the one written review, from September 2023, calls Al honest, his staff hardworking and the work stellar, joking that the reviewer would rather keep the contractor a secret. One item to ask about: OSHA records show a Boston South Area Office inspection of Alexander Doyle LLC (No. 1236608.015) opened June 1, 2017 at a Washington Street job site; the case is closed and the excerpt does not detail findings. For a Boston homeowner needing a roof, siding, gutters or a porch or deck from a long-established local outfit, Alexander Doyle LLC has the licenses, permit history and BBB standing. Ask for references from recent jobs, since only one written review is available, and get the scope and warranty in writing.
