Diversified Roofing Systems, Inc

Diversified Roofing Systems is a New Bedford flat-roof specialist — the site says the family has been in roofing since 1959, and the company itself was incorporated in Massachusetts in February 2000, now running a second office in Cranston, RI. The work described is mostly commercial and industrial: single-ply and rubber membrane systems, tar-and-gravel, slate, metal and sheet-metal roofing, cool roofing and infrared moisture scanning, plus roof inspections. The written record on file is thin and dated: two 5-star Google reviews, from 2016 and 2018, both describing a friendly, communicative crew on a new-roof job. Its Better Business Bureau profile has carried an A+ rating since the company was accredited there in 2016, with no complaints shown. Two things worth asking about directly before hiring. A 2019 local news report tied the company to a worker's fatal 40-foot fall and noted OSHA had penalized it for safety violations the prior October — ask how the company addressed that. Separately, BuildZoom lists a Rhode Island residential contractor license for the company that it shows inactive, with a November 2013 expiration, though the same listing elsewhere marks it active — worth confirming current standing directly if the job is on the Rhode Island side. For a flat or specialty roof job — commercial, industrial, or a single-ply/rubber residential re-roof — the reviews on file describe a crew that communicates well; just raise the safety and licensing questions before signing anything.
