Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Cape Cod Roofing and Siding. 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.

A church roof went on in 2009 with a bad dye lot mixed into it, leaving a visible color variation across a very large roof. Skip Schiappa stayed on the manufacturer for twelve years until they finally made it right; the customer wrote that up in a 2021 review. Cape Cod Roofing & Siding runs out of Wareham as a dba of Schiappa Enterprises, covering roofing, siding, carpentry and gutters for homes and commercial buildings, and says it has been keeping New England dry since 1978. Customers describe Skip turning up himself. After the heavy snow and deep cold of early February 2026 he came out that same evening, then showed a worried homeowner the roof was fine instead of selling a snow removal. In September 2025 he came by on a Sunday, photographed the roof and walked through what did not need doing. A January 2025 customer had three weeks to replace a roof or lose their insurance policy, and the job landed inside the window. Owners who were away during a 2024 job got a quote within a week and a steady run of progress pictures. He also scales the work to the money. In a 2023 review, someone who had just become the sole owner of an older house wrote that a full roof was out of reach, so Skip repaired the parts of the roof and siding that could not wait. The other side of this is recent. In January 2026 a customer wrote that they had been scammed out of several thousand dollars and were taking the company to court. In June 2026 a local business that services Skip's trailer wrote that he paid with an unendorsed check for $89.20 and then stopped returning calls. Back in 2022, another reviewer wrote only that the callback never came. And one April 2026 five-star reviewer opened by saying the business had asked him to post on Google and Yelp. The complaints here are about money and follow-up rather than the roofing itself, and the praise is about an owner who picks up the phone. For a repair, an inspection, or a roof against an insurance deadline, Skip comes out and explains what he sees. Put the scope, the payment schedule and the warranty in writing before any deposit, and keep every piece of that paperwork.
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👍
