## The honest read

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.

**Strengths:**
- Repair-first approach — recommends fixes over unneeded replacements
- Solved a years-long leak other repairs never fixed
- Old-house care — protected character on a 100-year-old home
- Budget-friendly phasing — splits urgent and cosmetic work over time
- Most thorough estimate — beat five competing bidders on measurement
- Coastal experience — named jobs in Gloucester, Manchester-by-the-Sea

- **5/5 · Google Reviews · Christian Brown · 2026-07-02**: We put a standing seam metal roof on our Salem colonial and it's the best decision we've made on this house. Looks incredible, snow slides right off, and we're done thinking about our roof for the rest of the time we live here. John was great about explaining the differences between metal and shingl…
- **5/5 · Google Reviews · Hannah Collins · 2026-07-01**: We had a section of our roof that was leaking every time it rained hard from the east. John came out, found the problem, and had it repaired within a week. No pressure to replace the whole roof, just fixed what needed fixing. Leak is gone. Really appreciated the honest approach.
- **5/5 · Google Reviews · Abigail Dawson · 2026-06-30**: Called them about some siding that blew off during a storm. They came out fast, matched the existing material, and patched it so you can't even tell where the damage was. Quick, professional, reasonably priced. Exactly what you want in that situation.
- **5/5 · Google Reviews · Ava Bennett · 2026-06-29**: Needed a deck torn down and rebuilt in Manchester-by-the-Sea. The old one was unsafe. Soft boards, wobbly posts, the whole thing moved when you walked on it. D&G built a new composite deck that's solid, looks clean, and should last a long time without the maintenance headaches we had with the old pr…
- **5/5 · Google Reviews · Tom D · 2026-06-29**: What an awesome job D&G did on our roof. The work was top of the line. They were done in 1 day even though there was a lot extra work that had to be done before the roof could be replaced. I would not hesitate to hire the group of workers again. They have a great team working with them
- **5/5 · Google Reviews · Adrian Turner · 2026-06-28**: After spending almost a year researching options, we chose D&G to do a designer shingle roof on our Beverly home near Lynch Park. We wanted something that would look distinctive and hold up to the coastal weather. John helped us select the right product, showed us samples on site, and his crew insta…
- **5/5 · Google Reviews · Garrett Adams · 2026-06-27**: Got our windows done. 8 total in a North Reading. Huge difference in how warm the upstairs stays in winter. Should have done it years ago honestly. Good crew, smooth process, no complaints.
- **5/5 · Google Reviews · Chloe Adams · 2026-06-26**: Siding replacement on our home. The old cedar shakes were done. D&G put up Hardie plank and it transformed the whole look of the house. Clean lines, sharp color, low maintenance going forward. Crew was respectful of the property and worked efficiently. John followed up after to make sure we were hap…
- **5/5 · Google Reviews · Madison Evans · 2026-06-25**: John came out and walked us through everything without making it feel scary. He put together a phased plan that let us tackle the most urgent stuff first (roof and water damage) and then do the siding and windows a couple months later when our budget allowed. Both phases went well. His crew uncovere…
- **5/5 · Google Reviews · Marcus Simmons · 2026-06-24**: We bought a fixer upper in Peabody last year and the exterior was the first priority. The roof was shot, the siding had water damage behind it, and most of the windows were fogged up between the panes. We were honestly a little overwhelmed by the scope of what needed to happen.
