Cape Cod Roofing & Siding runs on Skip Schiappa's own hands-on involvement — this year's reviewers keep describing him personally showing up to look at the roof, take his own photos, and explain what he's found before his crew starts. Based in Wareham, the company says it has covered New England since 1978, operating as Schiappa Enterprises Inc. under Schiappa's ownership. Google puts it at 4 stars across 39 ratings. The pattern holds across the first half of 2026: one customer had Skip repair and inspect a roof in April, complete with close-up photos of the trouble spots; another called him after a February snowstorm and says he talked them out of paying for snow removal that wasn't needed. Several reviewers specifically credit the lack of an upsell — being told what could wait, not just what couldn't. That same window also produced two 1-star reports that break the pattern. One customer, in January, describes being scammed out of several thousand dollars and says the case is headed to court; another, in June, says a $89.20 check went uncashed for weeks and Skip stopped returning calls. Neither shows up anywhere outside Google — the company isn't BBB accredited and its BBB profile carries no rating or complaint history, so there's nothing to check either account against. The company holds CertainTeed's Gold Star Contractor, Gold Star Flat Roof, and Select Roofer certifications — installer credentials from the manufacturer, not an independent business rating. One five-star reviewer also mentioned the company had asked them to post the review, worth keeping in mind when weighing how much of the praise is organic. For a roof repair, inspection, or replacement handled personally by the owner, the history through early 2026 is mostly reassuring. Given the two recent complaints, get payment terms and scope in writing before Skip's crew shows up.

Skip has been coming to us for years to have his trailer serviced. He was in early June of this year, wrote a check for $89.20 and never endorsed the check. Here we are 6/18 and he has ghosted us. Not even a return call or test.

Skip was great. To work with very informative, really knows his stuff. His crew was on time and worked all through the day to get the job done. My roof looks fantastic. I highly recommend them for your roofing project.

Hello. I must preface this by saying I know very little about construction so I can not speak to the details of the roof replacement I had Cape Cod Roofing and Siding do. However, as a middle age single parent of three, I believe my character assessment kills are pretty dependable. I own a historic home in one of Cape Cod's lovely towns by the water. My house, cottage, garage and other outlying structures around the property here are of substantial value both financially and of legacy. Upkeep is expensive at every turn it seems. The main house needed a roof that I had put off for years, not because of money, but because I was not looking forward to dealing with another contractor. My luck with contractors has been "EH" at best. I am sorry, but that was my experience up until the roof. I called the 800 number for Cape Cod Roofing and Siding as I assumed it meant a bigger company with better consumer service and not local so if I had another issue I would not have to avoid them at the market in town. A man named Skip returned my call and introduced himself as the owner. Skip came out a day later. Everything I had experienced prior with contractors was different with Skip right from the start. On time, no reeking of smoke or alcohol, exceptionally social in his greeting and very well spoken. Overall, an impressive first impression that did not disappoint one iota. An impressive personal stature and well groomed. Skip asked me what I expected out of the project, and with the exception of one item, I signed a contract with him. A month later the project was completed as if he and his company were never here. All I can attest to is that my project looks lovely, I enjoyed talking to Skip while onsite and I am now using him as a reference point to other contractors that he networks with. Hopefully one of them mimics Skip and that he is single. I had to add that, Skip was refreshing as a man who appears socially and professionally squared away as my military father would say. Hopefully this helps someone's decision making process. Oh, I spent a substantial amount of money with Skip's company. I felt it to be the right money. Oddly enough all the quotations from five contractors were within a $100 of each other which I thought strange given the tens of thousands I spent. Why did I choose Skip? His quotation was a fixed number, not an estimate (estimates scare me), and as I previously stated, just an overall look exuding pure professionalism.

YES, the business asked me to post a review on both Google and YELP. I own a home in central Massachusetts and like everyone else I needed a roof. My talking points were experience, availability, explanation of what my possible options would be and of course cost per option. My due diligence had me get multiple estimates. Summary, all estimates were "in the ballpark" as they say. What led me to choose Cape Cod Roofing and Siding was simply Skip himself. Given all the products and services were a constant to all involved I concluded, Skip simply came across as someone who truly was dedicated to his trade. His answers to my questions were no "BS". Quite frankly, as he stated, "he looked at every job as if it were his own property and what would he do if he were I". I can not ask for more than that. The man is genuine to a fault. I remember that I wanted a certain product and he blatantly told me that I should probably get someone else. It was not rude, it was direct. All in all, my $9,000.00 was well spent 11 years ago. Since then, I have spent about $341,000.00 with his company since on my commercial buildings. I had an issue with one of his roofs. Leaking like a sieve. Skip made a 2 hour ride within hours to resolve the problem caused by animals. Charged me service call that was more than reasonable. The man has not failed me yet. I finally got around to responding to his request for a review. btw: I have read the reviews here and other places. Besides the obvious personal attacks and moronic comments about nothing, I see my opinion of Skip and his company mirroring the majority of what I wrote.

Skip came to repair & inspect my roof. Explained everything he was doing and got close-up pictures of the repairs that were needed. Everything everything was fairly done in a short amount of time👍
