Benjamin Construction Group

Benjamin Construction Group is a Somerville roofing and remodeling contractor that's been around a while — its BBB profile lists 23 years in business, though the company isn't BBB-accredited and BBB shows no rating for lack of information. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, verified against the state registry, has expired; Houzz separately lists a different license number, CS-106815, on its own profile. The written record is thin and split. In a 2022 review, a homeowner described the company using older, cheaper materials than what was agreed to in the contract, leading to leaks, and said the issue was never resolved after they raised it. Ratings on Houzz (3.0 from 2) and Google (3.7 from 3) reflect that split rather than a consistently strong or weak record. On the other side, in a 2016 review a customer on a historically registered house described the company's Wagner giving a detailed explanation of the job and matching intricately patterned shingles to the original, corroborated by a separate positive mention naming the same owner. A 2014 workplace safety violation, carrying a $5,976 penalty, also shows up in public enforcement records — an old, resolved item rather than an ongoing pattern, but worth knowing about. What to know before calling: ask directly about material specifications in writing given the 2022 complaint, and confirm current licensing status before signing a contract.
