# Crown Contracting **Trade:** Roofing · **Address:** 449 High St, Dedham, MA 02026 · **Phone:** (617) 340-8886 · **Website:** http://www.crowncontractingboston.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.2/5** (medium confidence) — from 6 reviews across 6 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Crown Contracting is a Dedham roofing crew that says it has been part of Boston's skyline for more than 40 years, rebranding under its current name in March 2019 under Kate Russo, listed as owner, president and founder, alongside Michael and Joseph Russo. The company's own site frames it as a woman-owned business and lists a run of trade and manufacturer certifications, including a Versico Gold Medal Contractor designation, membership in the Northeast Roofing Contractors Association, and recognition from National Women in Roofing. The handful of Google reviews on file all point the same direction: roof jobs finished fast and communicated well. In a February 2024 review, a homeowner described a full roof replacement finished in a single day, with the crew cleaning up afterward. Another 2024 reviewer, comparing notes with others who'd waited weeks elsewhere, said the roof replacement wrapped in a few days while the company stayed timely with communication and fair with pricing. A March 2024 review from a repeat customer who had used the company extensively called it their strongest recommendation. A February 2024 review describes something smaller but telling: a crew inspecting a chimney leak fixed it with a few dabs of caulking at no charge, then followed up by phone two weeks later — the reviewer noted the fix had held for two years since. A 2025 review from a condo owner describes a more involved job: removing and numbering deck flooring to replace rubber roofing underneath, then resetting the deck. Crown's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#202548) is active, and BuildZoom's own listing for the same number agrees. Worth asking about before booking: BuildZoom's building-permit and licensing records for this specific LLC only run back about two years, with the license itself issued in January 2026 — a shorter paper trail than the company's own 40-year history claim, so it's worth asking directly how that history connects to the entity doing the contracting. Crown reads like the call for a roof job you want handled fast and cleanly — replacement, repair, or a smaller leak fix — with masonry and brick repair as a sideline. The reviews are thin in number but consistent in what they describe; confirm the license and ask about the company's history before signing a larger contract. **Strengths:** - Fast roof replacements — a 2024 review describes a full roof done in one day - Fair, communicated pricing — 2024 reviews cite honest quotes and timely updates - Stands behind small fixes — a chimney leak was fixed at no charge with a follow-up call **Concerns:** - Short paper trail — BuildZoom's licensing history for this LLC spans about two years **Where sources disagree:** - BuildZoom describes the current LLC as about two years old with a license issued in January 2026, while the company's own site claims 40 years of history under a March 2019 rebrand — the entity's paper trail is shorter than its stated history. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A Dedham-based roofing contractor (EPDM, TPO, PVC, slate, and copper roofing) that also does masonry and brick repair, serving towns across Greater Boston _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.crowncontractingboston.com) — “Crown Contracting is a Dedham, MA-based commercial and residential roofing contractor (EPDM, TPO, PVC, slate, and copper roofing plus masonr…” - [Official Website](http://www.crowncontractingboston.com) — “Stated service area (self-reported): Boston, Brockton, Brookline, Cambridge, Dedham, Framingham, Somerville, Quincy, Newton, Waltham, Lynn, …” - Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#202548) is active _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://contractorhub.mass.gov/s/hic-contractor-search) — “MA hic license 202548 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: Crown Contracting LLC” - BuildZoom's own listing for the same license number also shows it active _(confidence: medium)_ - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/crown-contracting-llc-boston-ma) — “Licence listed on BuildZoom: License #202548 — Home Improvement Contractor, Massachusetts, Status Active, Date Issued 01-05-2026” - Says it has served the Boston area for more than 40 years, rebranding as Crown Contracting in March 2019 under owner Kate Russo _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.crowncontractingboston.com) — “Company history (self-reported): States it has served the Boston area for over 40 years, evolving and rebranding to become Crown Contracting…” - [Official Website](http://www.crowncontractingboston.com) — “Ownership (self-reported): Led by Kate Russo (Owner, President, Founder), with Michael Russo (Vice President, Business Development) and Jose…” - [Official Website](http://www.crowncontractingboston.com) — “Self-reported 40 years in business” - A February 2024 review describes a full roof replacement finished in a single day _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURkMzlqaWl3RRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x5346879f58fa0928!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIDd39jiiwE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ I highly recommend Crown Contracting for any roofing needs.
