Bob Grover Contracting, Inc.

Nineteen permits, almost all of them roofs coming off and going back on. That is the shape of Bob Grover Contracting's filed work: strip-and-reroof jobs in Manchester, Danvers, Beverly and Peabody, dated between 2008 and 2021, rather than sprawling renovations. The company works out of Gloucester and bills itself on Porch as a family-owned North Shore roofer, with a Porch stats line putting it at 60 years in business. The work it lists runs to composite shingle roofing installation and repair, flat roofing installation, and chimney and chimney-liner repair. What is missing is anyone talking about it. Neither directory profile carries a single customer review or star rating, so there is nothing here from homeowners who actually hired the crew — which is why no rating is published on this page. The licensing picture deserves a phone call rather than a shrug. BuildZoom lists an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration and a Construction Supervisor licence for the business, and separately lists two older home improvement registrations as inactive and at one point cancelled. Those are the directory's own entries, not a registry check. A reasonable call if you want a North Shore roofer with a documented municipal permit history behind the name. Before booking, ask for the current registration number and confirm it yourself with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, and ask for references from the last year or two — the permitted work on file stops in 2021.
