DECARNEY ROOFING LLC

DeCarney Roofing works out of Beverly under owner Mario DeCarney, and the record here is about as deep as this trade gets: 277 reviews since 2017, 5★ across 348 Google ratings, a 4.9★ Thumbtack page, a BBB A+ accreditation, and a Massachusetts home improvement contractor license that's verified active with the state. Twenty-three of those reviews landed in just the last six months, all positive. The reviews read like the same job told hundreds of times with small variations, which is itself the pattern worth noting: Mario personally quotes and often supervises on site, alongside a lead installer named Tony; jobs that would normally take days — full tear-offs and re-roofs — routinely finish in a single day, with cleanup specific enough that reviewers describe magnetic nail sweeps and neighbors commenting on how little trace was left. One customer who's hired DeCarney four times over ten years said the pricing and quality have stayed consistent across every job, including a full re-roof on a tight lot that drew no complaints from neighbors. The specifics go beyond routine shingle work: squirrels had torn into lead chimney flashing on one job and it got repaired; another involved stripping a two-layer roof down to rotted original boards, replacing them along with a skylight, and closing off several excessive roof vents. Winter brings a steady stream of ice-dam and snow-removal calls, several handled same-day during active storms. One reviewer, a general contractor by trade, specifically praised the drip-edge and step-flashing work and copper detailing as evidence of real craft. Another described Mario inspecting a 15-year-old roof and telling them honestly it didn't need replacement yet, rather than pushing a sale. The comparison-shopping reviews are notable too: several customers describe getting three or more competing quotes and choosing DeCarney specifically because Mario didn't pressure them and the price was straightforward. Roofing is the core of the business, but the same crew handles skylights, flat roofing, chimney flashing, attic ventilation upgrades, and winter ice-dam and snow-removal service.
