Butler and James Roofing is a Waltham, Massachusetts contractor associated with James J. Devine. BBB lists 43 years in business and describes residential and commercial work including roofing, masonry, framing, and general contracting. The public record is thin on customer reviews. Directory listings describe roofing repairs and installations involving flat, shingle, metal, and slate roofs, along with general contracting, but there are no surviving firsthand reviews to establish a current track record. Before booking, confirm the current license, insurance, warranty, and 24/7 availability claims in writing. BBB lists the company as A+ but says it is not accredited; the service listing also contains broad claims about being licensed, insured, certified, and offering guarantees. The company may fit Massachusetts roofing or broader home improvement work if those details check out. Confirm the exact operating name, scope, and contract terms before authorizing work.
