Angelo J. Romano Roofing Co

Angelo J. Romano Roofing Co works out of 19 Bloomingdale Street in Chelsea, handling residential and commercial roofs — repairs, full replacements, shingle work, gutter installation and emergency call-outs. Massachusetts records show an active home improvement contractor registration, number 151814, held in Angelo Romano's own name. The company dates itself to 1970, and the Better Business Bureau's file agrees: a start date of January 1970, 56 years in business, and accreditation since 2010 carrying an A+ grade. BBB records it as a sole proprietorship with one employee, and the company's own site says customers deal directly with the owner and that no subcontractors are used. The site also says it works directly with homeowners' insurance companies on claims. Direct feedback is limited. Google shows a 3.7-star average from three ratings, and only two written accounts exist, three years apart. In a 2021 review, a homeowner described being fit into the schedule quickly — a tarp first, then the roof — and praised the work as fast and neat, with not a single nail left behind; that customer valued hiring locally, noting the company was right around the corner in Chelsea. The more recent account is the opposite. In a July 2024 review, a customer said the roof problem they hired the company to fix was still there afterward, and described the owner as rude and treating the job as finished. That is the newest first-hand account on file, and it is the one worth raising directly. For a Chelsea-area roof repair, gutter run, or an emergency tarp-and-patch, this is a long-established, owner-run, licensed local option. Before booking, ask what happens if a leak returns after the work and get the callback terms in writing, and confirm scheduling and scope up front, since BBB lists one person behind the business.
