Duval Roofing has been putting new roofs on North Shore homes since 1991, and the thing almost every review from the last five years mentions by name is Hubert, the foreman who runs the crew: reviewers describe him walking through the day's plan before work starts and leaving the yard 'spotless' when the crew is done, often finishing a full roof replacement in a single day. Ken Duval founded the company and, according to its own site, has installed more than 7,000 roofs; it also runs its own seamless-gutter machine and a waste transfer station, and covers North Reading, Reading, Andover, Burlington, Lynnfield, Peabody, Wakefield and other North Shore towns. Better Business Bureau has accredited the company since 2000 and rates it A+, and BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license among ten license records it says were active when last checked. Repeat business shows up again and again in the reviews: one 2025 reviewer said it was the fourth house in their family that Duval had roofed, and another said they didn't bother calling any other company for their new, larger home because of how well Duval had done their last one. In a March 2025 review, a homeowner said a roof Duval installed 11 years earlier had held up through repeated 50-70 mph wind gusts with no problems. A 2022 Reddit post described the company skipping a hard sales pitch entirely, instead handing over a list of references and other local addresses where the poster could go see finished work in person. Two things are worth knowing before signing. Industry news coverage reported that OSHA cited Duval Roofing LLC for 16 alleged safety violations — including fall, scaffold and ladder hazards — at a residential job site in Woburn, with $79,000 in proposed fines. Separately, in a 2022 review, a customer said their new roof leaked afterward and that the company became difficult to reach and unresponsive once they raised the problem, a sharp contrast to how promptly most other reviewers describe the company responding to callbacks. Duval is a strong option for a straightforward, single-day roof replacement in the North Shore area, especially for a homeowner who wants to see the crew's other completed jobs before committing; given the safety citation above, it's reasonable to ask directly about current jobsite safety practices before work begins.
“We used duval roofing, no issues.”
“I used Deval roofing in reading/n reading. No high pressure sales, left us with a list of references and other addresses where we could check out colors/styles they've installed at other homes locally. I had the simplest roof job so mine was under 4k. Small ranch, just two low sloping sides, with ridge vent.”
“So impressed and so grateful I called Duval roofing. I had a leak in my roof and called for estimates from 3 separate companies. Kim was pleasant, informative and so calming when I was beginning to to lose my mind about my leaky roof.”
“Duval also established a transfer station on the site, making him the only roofing contractor with one in his market, and among the most innovative and green roofing contractors in the state.”
“Duval Roofing LLC faces a total of $79,000 in proposed fines for fall, scaffold, ladder and other hazards identified at a residential construction site located at 138 Pleasant St. in Woburn, Mass.”

Duval Roofing is the real deal. If you are reading this review - take my advice and spare yourself the hassle of sitting through dreadful hard-close roof sales pitches. Ken Duval is straight forward about being competitive with their pricing because they do cut out that sales person middle man and pass the savings onto you. He is a straight shooter, details the entire process from start to finish for you outlining every step of the way really setting your mind at ease. I’d like to start by saying this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with contractors. Hubert and his team were exceptional to say the least. Right when I met Hubert he confirmed everything with me, asked if I had any questions, walked me around my house letting me know what to expect all meanwhile his crew was getting prepped for the job. These guys were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life and that’s not an exaggeration. Every single one of them were being friendly to my dog as if he was their own, making jokes, laughing and honestly just went above and beyond with their customer service and satisfaction. There wasn’t a single nail or piece of debris when they left… they left my yard looking better than it did before when they were done it was so clean! I couldn’t be any more thankful, grateful and genuinely satisfied with choosing Duval Roofing and I truly hope this review helps whoever is reading it to choose them so you can have the same great experience too. Thank you again Duval Roofing, Ken, Hubert and members, I love my new roof and would use you again in a heartbeat!
We used Duval Roofing when we needed to reroof our home. We used them when they were recommended by a relative, who used them for their roof. Fast forward some 11 - 15 years and a storm comes through with strong winds and rips a few of the ridge vent singles off. I reach out to Duval Roofing late Friday afternoon. I received a response early Saturday morning, looking for pictures and age of the roof. I’m contacted on Monday saying they’ll try to send someone out Tuesday morning. As promised, Hubert arrived Tuesday morning and repaired the damage in no time with no issues. He even removed some of the older shingles and replaced them as not to just patch the spot. Hubert was friendly and respectful. And the cost of the job was fair. We’d definitely use Duval again.
Duval Roofing is a team of professional roofers that know what they are doing. I hired them to roof my residential house in Burlington. The did a great job 👍
We’ve worked with Duval Roofing for several years on projects ranging from reroofing to new installations for major additions. It’s always been a great experience — their team is fast, efficient, and reliable. Highly recommended, and their pricing is very fair.
3rd time I’ve used Duval Roofing and as always I was impressed with their work.
