Connell Roofing, Inc.

One name runs through this summer's reviews: Matt Cabral, the project manager customers keep crediting for stopping by the house, explaining what changed, and closing out the punch list. Connell Roofing is a Wrentham family business that says it opened in 1956 as a painting company and has stayed in the Connell family ever since — 70 years by its own count — doing roof replacement and repair, siding, windows, doors, skylights and gutters from Metro-West Boston to Cape Cod. On Google it holds 4.9 stars across 318 ratings, and the crews work fast. A June 2026 customer had the house and garage roofs plus the trim boards done in two and a half days: old plywood out, waterproofing layers down, then shingles. A July 2026 reviewer named Brian, Junior and Sunny on a job finished in three long days with the site cleaned up every evening. Another July 2026 homeowner, whose roof and gutters were hit by a tree in the February 2026 blizzard, called the work competitively priced. Storms bring a queue. The Boston Globe quoted president Benjamin Connell in February 2026: "In the first week, I think we had over 500 missed calls that we had to get back to," with his team working until 10 o'clock at night and on weekends to get back to people. If you are calling right after weather moves through, expect to be one of many. Price is the honest caveat. A Reddit commenter in August 2026 called them pricy, then said the work came fully warranted for 50 years. A homeowner writing in January 2022 put it much the same way after collecting four quotes — not the cheapest, but the one they chose. In a June 2026 review, a customer credited the estimator, Vince, with spotting damage other companies had missed, which kept a change order and a surprise charge off the back end of the job. Two customers had a harder time. In a September 2025 Angi review, a customer who hired them after a large dead tree fell on the corner of their house rated the job one star and warned others not to hand over the final payment until all the work is finished. Further back, a March 2019 Angi reviewer said the roofing itself went promptly and a forgotten diverter was fixed inside a week, but then described delays, excuses and foot dragging on the windows and siding. Its BBB page carries an A grade, accreditation since 8/28/2025, and two complaints on file. Connell is a straightforward call for a full roof replacement, storm damage, or roof-and-gutter work anywhere from Metro-West Boston to Cape Cod; its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active on the state registry, and it says it holds GAF Master Elite certification. Before signing, get any siding or window work written out with its own dates, and hold the final payment until every item on the list is done.
