Benedictus Contracting is a Somerville roofing contractor whose written history is entirely dated: five Angi reviews from 2013 describe roof replacements, repairs, crews, cleanup, and communication. The company profile says Pete Benedictus has 15 years in the roofing industry and lists roofing, gutters, and siding. The older reviews are sharply mixed. In 2013, homeowners praised prompt estimates, courteous crews, clean sites, fair pricing, and roofs that held up after difficult weather. Other 2013 customers described a roof that leaked from day one, poor follow-through, uneven deck work, and an argument over a temporary roof covering. BuildZoom lists 95 permitted projects and inactive Massachusetts licenses, including home-improvement contractor license #144052 and contractor license #98889. Confirm current licensing directly, clarify the exact scope and permit plan, and ask how callbacks and warranty work are handled before booking. The strongest fit is a homeowner seeking an established roofing specialist who can also handle gutters and siding, with the dated praise balanced against dated complaints. The work history is substantial, but the available customer accounts are not recent.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Benedictus Contracting. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A square is 100 sq ft of roof surface — bigger than the floor plan because of pitch and overhangs.

“Construction - Benedictus Contracting & Roofing”
Old roof had been there for over 30 years. We started noticing that pieces of shingles were starting to fall off the roof, so we decided to have the roof replaced.. Called Pete Benedictus and he returrned my call immediately. Came out the next day to give us a quote. He was explicit in what the job would entail, etc. The job was done in four full days. His crew were extremely courteous, professional and very punctual. They cleaned up each day. I would highly recommend Pete Benedictus to anyone who needs a roofing job. In fact, he was recommended to me, and I am so happy we chose him. Pete is very reasonable and honest.
When we first met Pete he won us over with his charm and kindness. He was very responsive up until the point where we told him he was hired. After that his true colors came out and red flags kept popping up. Unfortunately we didn't stop working with him. Our first clue should have been when he asked, "I assume we are going to do this without a permit." ?!?! The day he started he dug foundation holes without measuring out where they should be. The deck looks like a slapped together piece of junk. Nothing is level or cut straight. Pete was rarely on site, and most of the work was done by non English speaking men, which is fine (they seemed very nice) but whenever Pete did come out to check on things he would yell and scram at them and was so incredibly rude it made me sick! I would not recommend this guy for anything!!
Everything went well: very prompt, remarkably polite and attentive to detail. Looks really sharp and vastly improved over last roof we had installed 28 years ago (which was not such a nice experience).
Pete was great! Professional, competent, fun to talk to. His crew did the work swiftly and cleanly and we are very happy with the final product. Highly recommended.
The roof leaked horribly from day one. Peter made one small attempt to fix it... but water continued to flow into house. Asked him to fix recently again... and he hung up on us. Very unprofessional..... sloppy --- never ever use.
