Barry S Carnes

One hundred seventy-seven permits, and not a single customer review anywhere — Barry S Carnes is the kind of roofer whose work shows up in town building departments rather than on directory pages. The permit trail out of Boxford is narrow and consistent: strip-and-reroof jobs on houses across the North Shore and Merrimack Valley, with a typical permit value around $12,000. That is a residential re-roofing operation, not a general remodeler who also does roofs. The credentials read well but come secondhand. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts construction supervisor specialty license, CSSL-106185, with a roofing designation, and says it confirmed the license active in June 2026; that is BuildZoom's own check, not a state-registry confirmation on our end. The same page also shows an older construction supervisor license, CS-000230, as inactive and at one point cancelled — worth a direct question rather than an assumption. The gap here is reputation. BuildZoom has never received a review for him, so there is no customer voice to weigh against the volume of permitted work. Anyone considering him is essentially hiring on paperwork and references. A sensible call for a straightforward asphalt re-roof in the Boxford, Newburyport, Haverhill or Peabody area, where he clearly works often. Before signing, ask for the current license and insurance certificates yourself, and get names and addresses from a few recent re-roofs you can go look at.
