Damphousse Roofing LLP

Strip the old shingles, lay the new roof, move on — BuildZoom counts 184 permitted projects for Damphousse Roofing, mostly residential re-roofs around Methuen. The North Andover company is family-run and, by its own account on its website, has been customizing homes since 1938, serving Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire for more than 80 years. BuildZoom names Raymond Damphousse, Jr. as owner; the Better Business Bureau file lists Douglas Legare as partner. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, verified against the state registry. The BBB grades the company A+, though it isn't BBB-accredited, and BuildZoom puts its own score at 104 — the top 9% of the 139,240 licensed Massachusetts contractors it tracks. The written customer history is short but uniform: four Google reviews, all five stars, running from spring 2024 into late 2025, against a 4.8-star platform average across five ratings. Two words keep surfacing — organized and efficient. A homeowner writing in October 2025 described friendly, organized office staff and a crew that moved fast and left the process smooth end to end. In a January 2025 review, another said the work was thorough, the company easy to reach with questions, and the price right. Back in April 2024, a customer who came by way of a neighbor's recommendation called the whole run, estimate through completed work, organized and cost-efficient. Two things worth raising before you call. That written history is thin and it is not fresh — the newest account dates to October 2025 — so ask for references from roofs finished this year. And BuildZoom lists two older Massachusetts credentials for the company, a home improvement contractor number and a construction supervisor license, as inactive or at one point cancelled; the current registration is a separate, active one, but it's a fair thing to put to them directly. Their origin story also comes out two ways: 1938 on their own site, a January 2014 business start date in the BBB file. For a straightforward re-roof in the Merrimack Valley, the permit count says this is a shop doing this exact work constantly, and the handful of homeowners who wrote about it came away pleased. If you want siding or windows too, they list that work as well, though nobody has written about it. Confirm the registration number on the contract, who is actually on the roof, and what the workmanship warranty covers before you sign.
