Daniel Fox Roofing Co., Inc.

Danny Fox has been on Newton's slate and copper roofs since at least 1996, and the reviews that stretch back the furthest say the most: one customer describes roughly 40 years of coming back to Fox since buying an 1890s home in 1983, another has been a client for nearly 30 years and still gets a check-back call confirming each repair holds. The company, run out of Lakewood Road with crew members reviewers name as Rocky, Phillip, and Manny, specializes in the kind of roofing most companies avoid — old slate and copper on historic Newton homes, where matching materials and reading a century-old roof correctly matters more than speed. One reviewer had a 100-year-old slate roof inspected by three companies; Danny's assessment came back needing only 10 to 15 tiles replaced, not the bigger job the others proposed, at a lower estimate. A different account describes a leak that ten years and several other roofers couldn't solve — Danny flooded the roof to trace it, found the source, and fixed it for good. Drone inspections come up repeatedly as part of how the company reads a roof before anyone climbs onto it, and reviewers describe fast turnarounds on emergencies: a leak reported on New Year's Eve got a same-morning response and a fix within days. The rest of the history is steady, unremarkable-in-a-good-way work — roof replacements finished in a single day once materials are on site, gutter repairs, skylight sealing, and masonry work alongside the roofing. Google shows 54 ratings averaging 5 stars, and the 51 reviews on file, running from 2022 into mid-2026, don't include a genuine complaint anywhere — even a rare 4-star review reads like a customer joking about trying other roofers before "always com[ing] back to Fox." For a slate, copper, or older-home roof in Newton and the surrounding area, this looks like a company reviewers stick with for decades rather than shop around from.
