David Castricone Roofing, Siding &

Fifty years of roofs. That is the shape of David Castricone Roofing & Siding — a Castricone family operation the BBB traces back to 1976, seven people, and 162 permitted jobs on the books: strip-and-reshingle roofs and whole-house re-sidings, mostly $5,000 to $25,000, in Methuen, Haverhill, Groveland, Topsfield, Rowley, Middleton and Newburyport. Its BBB page is an A+, and the bureau lists the company as a home improvement contractor doing roofing, siding, replacement windows and remodeling, with David Castricone as president. Angi and HomeAdvisor carry the same pair of reviews — two, both from 2018, both positive. For a shop with 162 permits on file, that is very little for a homeowner to weigh. The bigger thing to settle is licensing. BuildZoom puts a quality alert and a score of 0 on the profile because it cannot verify an active licence: it shows exterior contractor licence CSSL-099358 — the roofing, windows-and-siding and construction-supervisor-specialty entries — as expired since December 2023 and last checked inactive in July 2026, and both home improvement contractor registrations, #103317 and #104569, as inactive and cancelled at some point. Those are BuildZoom's records rather than the state's and can lag reality, but the same story repeats across five separate entries, so it is the first question to ask. If you want a roofer who has worked in your town for decades, the permit history here is about as local as it gets. Before signing, ask David or Mario Castricone for current construction supervisor and home improvement contractor numbers and check them yourself with the Department of Public Safety and the Office of Consumer Affairs — in Massachusetts that registration is what backs a homeowner's claim when a job goes wrong. Worth confirming which address and phone are current too, since BBB lists North Andover and BuildZoom lists Methuen.
