Cochrane Roofing and Siding

Cochrane Roofing and Siding is the roofing outfit in Sharon built around one detail that keeps showing up in its reviews: when the crew leaves, there's nothing left behind — no nails, no debris, no cleanup call needed. The company says owner Mike Cochrane has run it since 1993, after learning the trade from his father's building and remodeling business, founded in 1967, and Mike is still the one homeowners deal with directly rather than a sales team. Roof replacement is what most people call them for. Google reviews from 2024 through early 2026 describe tear-offs and full roof replacements finished in one to two and a half days, with several homeowners noting Mike returned a first call within an hour and stayed personally involved from the initial quote through color selection to the finished job. In a 2023 review, one customer described Mike first attempting a patch repair on a worsening winter leak rather than pushing straight to a full replacement, then crediting that repair's cost against the eventual roof job once the patch didn't hold — the kind of detail that shows up more than once across a run of 5-star reviews (Google shows 17 ratings averaging 5 stars overall). Building permit records back up the review picture: BuildZoom shows 61 permitted jobs for the company, most of them roof replacements around Sharon, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (HIC #168706) is active and verified. The company also lists a Construction Supervisor License number, but that one is self-reported rather than independently checked against a registry — worth a quick confirmation, though a company HIC number and a separate individual license number is a normal setup, not a red flag by itself. Beyond roofing, the company also does siding, gutter replacement, and window and skylight work, and describes itself as a certified siding installer, though the written reviews lean almost entirely on roofing jobs rather than that side of the business. For anyone in Sharon or the surrounding towns weighing a roof replacement, the pattern here is a small, owner-run crew that answers the phone quickly, finishes in a matter of days, and cleans up thoroughly — a straightforward call for a reroof, with the siding and gutter work worth asking about directly since it's far less reviewed.
