Verified record
Bonn Construction Co is a Danvers-based roofing contractor with a documented history stretching back over a decade, with 28 recorded roofing permits across Peabody, Danvers, and Middleton on file with BuildZoom. Massachusetts's contractor registry currently shows the company's Home Improvement Contractor license as expired. The written record raises real concerns. In reviews posted in 2016 and again in 2022, a homeowner described a roof installed by the company in 2013 that led to recurring leaks, attributing the problem to pre-existing flashing that was reused rather than replaced during the job. In a separate 2020 review, a reviewer who identified as a contractor described shingle damage during a skylight installation that the installers allegedly never disclosed. BuildZoom's own profile characterizes its two customer reviews as alleging property damage, poor workmanship, and a refused warranty. In 2022, a government enforcement record also documented a workplace safety or health violation against the company, with an $8,702 penalty. Against that, a 2022 five-star review specifically praised James Currier's roofing work — "I have no words to adequately praise his work" — after describing separate storm-related ceiling damage tied to an earlier, unrelated repair. There is a real gap between the platform headline and the written record here: Google shows 3.7 stars, but from just three ratings, while BuildZoom shows 1.0 star from two ratings, and the detailed written complaints on file describe specific, named problems rather than general dissatisfaction. Given the expired license, the documented 2022 safety violation, and multiple detailed complaints about leak-causing workmanship and an undisclosed skylight-installation issue, a homeowner considering this company for roofing work should confirm current licensing directly with the state and ask pointed questions about warranty terms and past workmanship issues before signing a contract.

My roof was repaired some time ago by a family friend after that for the next 2 years I suffered rain and wind damage that ruined 2 ceilings on my second floor. A friend of mine told me about his friend James Currier who does roofing. I have no words to adequately praise his work and professional knowledge -He sent me pictures of all the problems before and after he fixed them He was here everyday he scheduled and worked from dawn to dusk He came on time and on budget ( even though he did more work as needed than the quote) If you have any job -big or small -he also does large buildings this is definitely the company to go to
I had a roof installed by Bonn Construction in 2013, since that time I have had multiple instances of leaks in my home. Pre existing flashing that doesn't appear to be sufficient or appropriate for a leak tight roofing installation was re-used. Granular ice and water shield was used instead of high performance ice and water shield such as Grace brand ice and water. One section of PVC trim was hacked together- a small block of PVC was used to transition two longer pieces of trim. It looks absolutely terrible and has the potential to be a leak/failure point. When asked to address my concerns after discovering significant property damage had occurred, the owner refused to honor the workmanship warranty stated in the contract.
Terrible installation of Skylight. Skylight was installed on a 90 degree sunny day, unfortunately my roof shingles were damaged in the process, but that’s not the worst part, The installers never notified me of the damage , but I being a contractor myself got on the roof and found the damage. I brought up the issue to the owner and he blamed the damage on there not being a ridge vent on the roof, not the fact that it was 90 degrees that day or the fact that he didn’t inform me of the damage.. I also never received a bill from the company, but today I got a phone call from Jim the owner that I have not paid him, and he was going to put me in for late payment. I informed Jim that we never received the bill .So beware of this company because in my mind if someone does more damage than good ... They are not professionals . I’ll wait for my bill ...
