Verified record
Bessette and Sons Roofing says it's a third-generation, family-owned roofing contractor based in Whitman with over 30 years in the trade, working roofs and additions across the South Shore. In April 2025 reviews, customers described a new roof going up on a raised ranch in a single day with meticulous cleanup, and an emergency repair answered within two days and wrapped up in one — both citing a fair price and a fast-moving crew. Another reviewer from that same month credited Peter Bessette personally for walking them through the process before his crew stripped and re-shingled a roof quickly. One older account is worth knowing about: a 2015 post on a local review site described a scheduled roof job getting canceled the same afternoon it was due to start, with the customer scrambling to line up another crew before rain. It's a single, decade-old account with nothing like it since. For a roof replacement or repair on the South Shore, this is a small, hands-on family crew people keep coming back to — worth getting your start date and timeline confirmed in writing given that one older report.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Bessette and Sons Roofing. 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.

“Our roof was to be done this afternoon and he has cancelled.”
Had Bessette and son roofing install a new roof on my raised ranch with a large inlaw off of the back. Best price and installation was completed in one day. Clean up was meticulous highly recommend him.
I called the company with an emergency repair needed on my roof. He was there within 2 days to complete the job (in one day) at a great price. Very professional and a pleasure to work with. Would definitely recommend to others.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Peter Bessette from Bessette and Sons Roofing. He walked me through the process and answered all of my questions. I was very impressed with how quickly his crew worked. They had the roof stripped and re-shingle in no time. I would highly recommend Bessette and Sons for any of your roof or construction needs. I will definitely be using them again.
