Associate Roofing

Custom-made Ludowici tiles: that is the kind of roof Associate Roofing turns up on. A 2019 Martha's Vineyard Times piece quoted owner Mike Lynch, a Chilmark resident, on exactly that material, and the Braintree company's service list runs to slate, copper, cedar, sheet metal and custom roofs alongside ordinary shingle work, repairs, maintenance and full replacements. The roofing runs three generations deep, though the sources date the business differently. Press accounts from May 2026 describe Michael Lynch founding the company in 1975 as a third-generation roofer whose family has been in the trade since 1932; BBB and Procore instead date the business itself to 1932 and put it at 94 years. Its Houzz card claims Braintree and the surrounding towns for over 50 years. The territory is unusually wide for a roofer — southern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and the island communities, which Procore's profile puts as Boston out to Martha's Vineyard. That profile also lists waterproofing and tracks eight of the company's projects. Its BBB page is an A+. For a slate, copper or cedar roof, this is a Braintree company whose list actually covers those materials, and whose owner has been quoted on a specialty tile job on the Vineyard. Ask which roofs in its portfolio most resemble yours, get the tear-off and flashing scope written into the contract, and confirm its Massachusetts registration and insurance before the staging goes up.
