Castro Roofing And Siding

Castro Roofing And Siding is a family-run Brockton, MA shop that Jose runs day to day, working roofing and siding jobs within about 50 miles of the city in English or Spanish, by its own account for around 15 years. The strongest thread running through its Thumbtack reviews, going back to 2023, is speed paired with follow-through: crews reinstalling bathroom-vent flashing, tackling ridge-vent installs, and replacing shingles around vent penetrations, with more than one customer saying they came back for a second job. Thumbtack named it a Top Pro in both 2023 and 2024 and shows a background-checked crew; an October 2025 review calls the work "fast and thorough." Two things are worth asking about before booking. The Better Business Bureau gives the company an F letter grade specifically for lacking a required competency license — it reports the OCABR home improvement registration on file (202740) lapsed back in August 2023. And in a September 2024 Google review, a customer said Castro never paid the dumpster company after a roofing job, leaving a lien on the customer's house, and warned future clients to confirm vendors are paid before releasing a final payment. The business's own numbers don't fully line up either: its Thumbtack profile shows a 30-year "years in business" figure next to a self-described 16-year claim, while its website and Angi profile both put it closer to 15 years, and Angi lists a Brockton address that differs from the one on file elsewhere, though the phone number matches. For a straightforward roofing or siding repair, the Thumbtack track record is the case for hiring them — get the license situation and the payment-to-vendors question answered directly before signing anything, given what the BBB and that 2024 review describe.
