Boston Elite Roofing & Masonry

Boston Elite Roofing & Masonry is a family-owned Somerville contractor working roofing, chimney, masonry, siding, gutter and waterproofing jobs across the Boston area; the company says it's been at this for 15 years. Google shows 5 stars from 37 ratings. The most detailed account in the record describes a full flat-roof replacement: the homeowner compared three bids, and picked Boston Elite for a 20-year warranty against a competitor's 2-year offer; a technician named Edward oversaw the project, kept the homeowner informed, and the crew removed a deck to access the roof and reassembled it afterward. A 2023 review describes a separate visit that combined roof repair, gutter cleaning and maintenance, with the crew photographing every repair so the homeowner could check the work directly. Something worth flagging plainly: a large share of the remaining reviews are extremely short and follow a nearly identical shape — a problem named (a cracked chimney, a sinking foundation, a leaking basement), then "fixed" or "brand new," then a one-word superlative — posted in a dense run through August to December 2024, sometimes multiple in a single day, with a few written in broken English and one review that is a single emoji. That doesn't mean the underlying jobs didn't happen, but it's a different shape from the specific, detailed accounts above and worth weighing separately. If you're evaluating this contractor, the roof-replacement and combined-repair accounts are the more grounded read on what actual work looks like here; it's reasonable to ask for references tied to a specific, named job.
