Boston Home Solutions is a Billerica roofing and siding outfit run by Marcelo, whose BuildZoom profile says the team has worked Greater Boston since 2002 on roof replacement and repair, siding, gutters and flashing, skylights, painting and storm restoration with emergency tarping. Reviews split sharply by year. In 2022, customers described prompt, professional service — one BuildZoom reviewer said a Facebook referral led to an immediate response, a quote, a firm date, and a siding repair finished clean, efficient and timely; a Google reviewer that October said the crew knew what they were doing and was satisfied with the results. But in a November 2023 Google review, a customer who'd hired Marcelo for roofing, gutters, painting, siding repairs, a chimney cap, garage and marble vanity work across two properties said he completed about half the job in May 2023, took the bulk of the payment, and by November still hadn't returned to finish despite repeated attempts to reach him. BuildZoom's profile lists an active Massachusetts Construction Supervisor Specialty license, but shows the company's home improvement contractor registration, #198947, as inactive — worth confirming current registration before signing anything. Google's 3.7★ aggregate and BuildZoom's 5.0★ aggregate also diverge noticeably. Get a written schedule with milestone payments tied to completed work, and ask directly about the unfinished 2023 job before handing over a deposit.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Boston Home Solutions. 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.

Marcelo (owner) offers a competitive price, he is just not very reliable. Originally hired Boston Home Solutions to repair siding on my home. It was a took two months to come out and fix the siding, but Marcelo and his team offered a competitive price. Hired Marcelo for two other properties to do roofing, gutters, painting, siding repairs, chimney cap, garage, marble vanity and pressure washing. He completed half the job in May 2023 asked for majority payment (I paid cash) and said he would return to complete the job at the end of June 2023. It is now Nov 2023. I've try numerous times to have Marcelo complete the job, but he doesn't respond or replies "I'll call you later to schedule the job" and never does. It feels as if its been a cat and mouse chase. ***Update*** Marcelo reached out to finish the work, I responded and he went quiet. Randomly messaged me one morning that he is on his way to do the chimney cap and I was traveling. He met with my sister who spoke with him and said he seemed very uninterested in doing the work. She said she thinks the chimney needs some work. He didn't bother to look at it and left. There are other things in addition that need to be completed, but I will find another company to finish the job.
Found company on Billerica Facebook reviews there were excellent . When contacted response was immediate , came and reviewed job . presented quote gave us date for job and completed everything in a clean efficient and timely manner . Highly recommend , efficient and responsive .
The crew knew what they were doing. I was satified with what they did.
