Express Roofing has put roofs on Massachusetts homes since 1985, when Michael Cortner started the company from Chelmsford; he still owns and runs it, and the company's site says there are no salesmen and it isn't a franchise. Google reviewers give it 4.9 stars across 258 ratings, and the same crew names keep coming up — Javier Ortiz and Felix lead the installs, and Mike or Felix walk homeowners through the scope and cost before anyone shows up. What reviewers describe again and again is speed and organization: crews arriving early and finishing a full roof replacement in a single day, cleanup that leaves the site clean, and clear explanations of materials and cost up front. A 2026 reviewer said Mike helped pick a shingle color that matched the house better than expected; another said Javier's crew was 'the best price by thousands' after they shopped around; a couple wrote that after nearly two years comparing roofing companies, what stood out about Mike's team was how comfortable they felt. Repeat business shows up too — in a 2025 review, a homeowner said they'd used Express Roofing before and would use them again, and in a 2024 review another described Javier's crew fixing damaged plywood, old chimney flashing and missing vents in a single day. The one exception is a 2025 review describing a phone call for an estimate as uninterested and focused on selling a full replacement rather than addressing the caller's actual problem. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor license, #185252, is active with the state, and it's an A+ rated, BBB-accredited business. The company also lists vinyl siding and window replacement alongside roofing and skylights. This is a strong pick for a Massachusetts roof replacement, especially if a fast, one-day turnaround matters; confirm current licensing and insurance and get a written scope and timeline before signing.
I recently had my roof replaced, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final inspection, Mike and the team were professional, reliable, and efficient. Mike took the time to thoroughly explain the process and answered all of my questions, which made me feel at ease. The work itself was completed on time, and they left the area clean and tidy after the project. I highly recommend Express Roofing to anyone in need of roof replacement or repair. The attention to detail, dedication to customer satisfaction, and expert craftsmanship were truly impressive. Thank you for such a great experience!
We had Express Roofing replace our roof recently and I was expecting it to be more stressful than it ended up being. From the first visit, everything was explained clearly, what needed to be done, what it would cost, and how long it would take. Once the job started, the crew stayed on it and kept things moving without dragging it out. What stood out to me was how organized everything was. They showed up when they said they would, worked through it, and cleaned up at the end of the day. End result looks great and we haven’t had any issues since.
Express Roofing did a great job replacing our roof. We are very happy with the quality of the work. The entire crew was professional, efficient, and completed the job in one day. Felix was very easy to work with, communicated well, and made the process go smoothly. The cleanup was also handled well. I would definitely recommend Express Roofing.
We hired Express Roofing for a full roof replacement and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and the quality of the installation is top-notch. They walked us through the materials, kept the site clean throughout the job, and finished right on schedule. No surprises, no shortcuts, just solid, professional work. Our new roof looks great and we have full confidence it'll hold up for years to come. If you're in the Lowell area and need roofing done right, Express Roofing is who to call. ~ Yolonda Kelly, Lowell, MA
Our roof in Littleton was over 25 years old and starting to show signs of wear. I called Express Roofing after hearing great things from neighbors, and they did not disappoint. Mike was helpful in answering all of our questions and set clear expectations. The crew showed up exactly when scheduled and worked nonstop until the project was finished. By the end of the day, we had a brand-new roof installed. The difference in appearance is dramatic, and we already feel more secure heading into New England’s unpredictable weather. One thing that really impressed me was the clean-up. You’d never know an entire roof was replaced here no nails, no scraps, just a perfect new roof. Express Roofing truly lives up to their reputation. If you’re in Littleton or anywhere near Westford, this is the company to call.
