A 30-year-old cedar shake roof had turned into what one homeowner called its own living environment — moss, algae, and crumbling shingles in the Harvard woods — before Apex Roofing replaced it. That kind of job, alongside straightforward asphalt shingle replacements, is what fills this Westford company's review history. Apex is family-run by John and Karen Normandie, doing roof repairs and replacements in asphalt, metal, and rubber, plus VELUX skylights and CertainTeed vinyl siding, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. Across 195 reviews on Google and Porch going back to 2012, the story holds together: crews finish most roofs in a single day, sweep the property for stray nails before leaving, and cover plants and shrubs during the work. One customer who compared eight roofers, all with A+ BBB ratings, chose Apex for its CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster status and its warranty. Another homeowner hired Apex to fix a leaking barn roof with rotted sheathing after learning the company had done good work on the house's own roof for the previous owners years earlier. There's little to flag here. The one practical note reviewers repeat: tear-off day is loud inside the house, so plan to be elsewhere if you can. It's also worth asking directly about warranty terms and CertainTeed certification level, since that's what separated Apex from competitors for at least one customer who shopped around. Apex is a strong call for a full roof replacement or a trickier job like cedar shake or a rotted barn roof in the Merrimack Valley or Greater Boston area — the range its reviewers describe most. Confirm the warranty terms and materials up front, and clear the driveway and yard for the day of the tear-off.
“We used Apex Roofing out of Andover to do my parents' roof in Medford, including a membrane over the flat roof on their front porch. We were happy with the price and quality of the work,”

Great job, the roof looks great and there was very little disturbance to our property. They did an excellent job with the cleanup afterwards.
The entire experience was excellent, from the quoting, scheduling, installation, and cleanup. We were very impressed with the whole team that worked at our house very professional the entire way. To top it of the house looks great! Thanks!!
Fantastic job. It was like a work of art and I looked in amazement how professional and efficient the team was. I guess when you have done hundresds of these these, you become that way. I highly recommend them.
A Roof Replacement Experience with Apex I estimated my old asphalt shingled roof to be about 30 years old, looking a bit scruffy but it had experienced no in-house leaks or visible missing shingles. The house is 60 years old, being built before the importance of convection for roof ventilation was well understood. Naturally, I was concerned about trending attic ventilation practices and with it being time for me to get a replacement roof, I wanted to find a contractor who would bring my roof ventilation up to date as well as provide an attractive, strong, new waterproof covering. I requested a bid for replacing my roof (consisting of a single layer of shingles) with the caveat that an assessment be done for any existing decking (plywood) deterioration after the old shingle tear-off. During my Apex roofing job, after the old tear-off and Apex’s experienced structural decking assessment explanation, it was clear to me that I needed a whole roof replacement, all decking included. I learned from the assessment that although the decking had not rotted exactly, years of lack of ventilation from accumulated heat and moisture in the attic had weakened the plywood to the state that is was too soft and spongy to be strong enough to effectively support the roof. Knowing this I felt confident that the new replacement roof had to be supported with new strong material, so I ordered full decking replacement to proceed. Apex immediately was able to come up with all the needed new plywood material, on the spot, without any supply chain issues or delays. This was important for my roof job as roofing schedules are driven by weather and for my location rain was forecast close at hand. Apex Roofing was the ideal contractor to address my outdated roof ventilation situation. Apex’s collaboration relationship with roofing manufacturer Certain Teed highlights the importance of convection based roof ventilation. This manufacturer supplies quality ridge vent materials for moist air exhaust and quality vent materials for soffit fresh air intake. Furthermore, to uphold their commitment to advocating roof ventilation, Certain Teed makes it mandatory for warranty eligibility that a ridge vent be installed with their endorsed roof. The roofing crew team that Apex selected to replace my roof were nothing short of outstanding. No yelling, no drama, a very collegiate bunch. Whether their current task was work surface initialization, measuring decking for roof protrusions, bending fascia metal, or rounding up roof debris for the dumpster, they worked as experienced professionals cooperating and dedicated to excellence. Leadership of this roofing crew was masterful, handling work scope expansion (full decking replacement) and weather looming scheduling impacts with aplumb. I was further impressed with the attention to detail that the Apex roof crew displayed while providing my new roof. For example, in the contract, I had requested that an old electric exhaust fan on the roof be removed and discarded. The crew removed and disposed of it, as asked, yet went further to make sure the freed fan wires remaining in the attic were secured with wire nuts so that no future spark threat causing an attic fire might occur. Apex Roofing proved to be quite a trustworthy contractor to work with, being both comprehensive and transparent. They did everything just as was spelled out in our contract plus provided me with their workmanship warranty. I am so glad I chose Apex Roofing for a hassle-free, beautiful, quality roofing experience. With an Apex roof my house looks brand new!
The whole job from quote to repair was done without a problem. The crew showed up as promised and worked hard thru the day and was done by 3 pm. The jobsite was cleaned up after, dumpster left the next day. Yes it was noisy inside the house, so plan some time away
