D&G Exteriors

D&G Exteriors is a Beverly-based exterior specialist — roofing, siding, windows, decks, trim and gutters — with John (and often Shane) named as the crew leads across a remarkably deep record of reviews. The thing that keeps coming up isn't just craftsmanship, it's restraint: several homeowners describe being told a targeted repair would do the job when a full roof or siding replacement would have been the easier upsell. The record runs to 156 reviews from 2023 through today, 66 of them in just the last six months, with zero negative in that stretch. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and it holds a 5★ average on both Google (161 ratings) and Thumbtack (15 ratings). The specifics are what carry it: an Ipswich homeowner whose roof had leaked through a valley for years despite prior repairs finally got it fixed when John reworked the flashing detail properly; another described being handed a phased plan that tackled urgent roof and water damage first and siding and windows later once budget allowed; a 100-year-old Ipswich home got new siding and rebuilt trim done in a way that "respects the character of the house while actually protecting it," and held up through two storms afterward. On a 14-window Marblehead job, the homeowner chose D&G after interviewing five contractors because John was the only one who measured every opening rather than eyeballing it; in Hamilton, after getting quotes from six or seven companies, a homeowner picked D&G because John was the one who explained not just what they'd do but why. Coastal-exposure homes get called out specifically — jobs in Gloucester, Manchester-by-the-Sea, and Beverly's own shoreline weather. There's little here to flag as a concern. The closest thing to a wrinkle across dozens of reviews is one customer noting a siding, door and window project ran a little longer than planned — attributed to the crew being "really diligent about doing it right," not to any fault. For roofing, siding, window or deck work anywhere on the North Shore, especially a coastal-exposure home, this is about as deep and consistent a record as they come — the main thing worth checking is scheduling, given how in demand the reviews suggest they are.
