Verified record
Fifteen roofing projects on file, with permits pulled in Beverly, Newburyport, Manchester and Nahant between 2008 and 2023 — Cory Rousseau has been putting roofs on North Shore houses for a long time, working out of 14 Roderick Ave in Beverly. What homeowners have actually written is a much shorter story: three reviews, all on BuildZoom, averaging 4 out of 5, the newest from June 2019. Two are positive. A customer writing in April 2015 said Rousseau reroofed both their house and a three-car garage in three days and would recommend him; a June 2019 reviewer called him "really nice and very reliable". The third one is what to weigh. In August 2013 a homeowner wrote that they paid in full the day the job finished, then found a leak coming through the ceiling and running down a wall — and that their calls went unreturned, answered only once someone rang from a number he didn't recognize. That account is thirteen years old and nothing written since repeats it, so read it as history rather than current practice. It is still the specific failure that matters most on a roof. BuildZoom scores the business 84, which it places in the 20th percentile of the 139,240 Massachusetts contractors it ranks, and lists Massachusetts licences including a roofing one — the directory's own entry, not a state confirmation. This is a long-established Beverly roofer for a straight replacement. Ask to see the current licence and insurance yourself, and get the workmanship warranty and the leak-callback process in writing before the tear-off starts.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Cory Rousseau Roofing Contractor. 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.

Typical roofing project around $13,800
Cory was really nice and very reliable and did a great job on our roof
We hired Rousseau for a new roof for not only our home, but our 3 car garage as well. The entire project went smoothly and completed within 3 short days. We were quite pleased with the results and would recommend this company to any other person looking for this type of service.
My husband and I hired Cory Rousseau for a new roof on our home. He was paid in full immediately upon request same day he finished. Roof looked great. Upon discovering a leak through the ceiling and running down the wall I called Cory. He has not returned one call to us . Knowing he recognizes our phone number , I asked some I know to call him from a different phone number and obviously a different name. He returned their call immediately . They told him I was trying to get a hold of him. He promised to get in touch with me that day. Still waiting five months later. I heard he's in deep on another big job. He's bad news. Took our money $8500.00 and never looked back. Save yourself grief. Do not hire this guy. !!!
