## The honest read

A recent Google customer said Bob & Son's Roofing replaced their 20-year-old roof in one day, with Steve and crew on the job from start to finish. A 2022 Reddit commenter on r/connecticut named Bob & Sons Roofing in Niantic and said they had flashing and some roof repair done by the company. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0579886, is active on the state registry under the name Bob & Sons Roofing. Its BBB grade is B-.

A recent customer said Steve came out to do their roof, said he and his crew were respectful, and praised the price and quality of service. A recent customer called the pricing exceptionally high and said the company's customer service lacked professionalism. A recent customer wrote that Bob's sons were rude and arrogant.

A 2025 customer who got a free quote said the salesperson was pushy and made false claims about other local companies, and that JS&R quoted half the price and JP Carroll a third less. That customer also said Steve took the time to explain the products and the process. A 2023 customer said Steve had replaced the roof of a small manufactured home for the former owners three years earlier, and that another roofer later found shingles not completely hammered in and dry rot across the roof, which then had to be replaced again. A 2023 customer said the company repaired a shoddy job done by another person at a more than fair price.

In a 2022 review, a customer said one of the owners missed a scheduled appointment and later said the company doesn't make appointments. A 2022 customer said Steve fit the job into a limited window and called the cleanup and material decent quality.

- A one-day reroof — a recent customer said Steve and crew finished in a day
- A respectful crew — a recent customer said Steve and his crew were respectful
- Flashing and roof repair — a 2022 Reddit commenter recommended them

They act as though they know everything and they’re better than their competition, from what I’ve seen they’re not doing so great. I have no idea what makes them th…
