What does a roof replacement cost in Greater Boston?
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Exterior Construction Inc. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A square is 100 sq ft of roof surface — bigger than the floor plan because of pitch and overhangs.
— reviewers cite quotes far below big-name competitors
Storm response — a tree through the roof patched and waterproofed the same day
Ice dam removal — winter callouts answered when other firms did not
One-day completions — roof, gutters and two skylights done in a day
Site cleanup — crews clear stray nails and leave no trace
Correcting other roofers — non-compliant roofs redone to satisfy insurers
Exterior Construction Inc is a roofing and exterior contractor working out of Southampton, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration — number 180100, held under the company's own name — is active on the state registry. It has been a BBB Accredited Business since February 2021 with an A+ grade, and its listed work runs from asphalt and EPDM rubber roofing through vinyl siding, gutters and gutter guards to skylights, ice dam removal, roof snow removal, demolition cleanup and junk removal.
The customer record is unusually deep and unusually consistent: 172 reviews from 2021 to 2026 across eight sources, sitting at 5.0 on Google from 152 ratings, 5.0 on Angi and HomeAdvisor from 107, and 5.0 on Thumbtack. Fourteen arrived in the last six months, none negative. Nearly every one of them names the owner, Anthony, and a customer writing in July 2025 gives the full name — Anthony Hairston.
The thread that runs hardest through the reviews is a willingness to repair rather than sell a replacement. A customer writing in May 2025 said the company actually climbed onto the roof, quoted far below a big-name contractor from the week before, laid out the options rather than pushing the most expensive one, and then charged less than the estimate. Others describe the same pattern on small jobs — a vent pipe damaged by a tree, a single shingle blown off in a storm, a leaking skylight.
Emergency work is the second thread. In June 2025 a homeowner described a tree branch driven through the roof and the kitchen ceiling: Anthony came out almost immediately in the rain, pulled the branch, patched and waterproofed the opening, then later rebuilt the roof, drip edges, gutters and torn cedar siding. In February 2026 a customer with a two-foot ice dam across the back of the house, leaking inside, wrote it up after calling multiple firms after hours. Ice dams, roof raking and snow work come up repeatedly through the winter months.
Speed and cleanup come up almost as often. In August 2024 a homeowner had the roof of house and shed, the gutters and downspouts and two skylights all replaced in a single day, with unexpected problems handled at no extra charge. A November 2025 reviewer noted the crew picking out nails a previous roofer had left and clearing pine needles from between the shingles; an August 2025 customer said they left the property "without a trace of their work remaining."
The company is also repeatedly hired to correct someone else's roof. A September 2025 customer had a buckling, non-compliant roof replaced with GAF Timberline HDZ in time to stop their homeowners insurance being cancelled, and a June 2026 customer had a leak traced that a previous roofer's new roof was supposed to have fixed.
This is a small crew — reviewers describe the owner working alongside them — so the right question at quote stage is scheduling, not capability.

“From start to finish, it was an absolute pleasure working with Anthony and his crew for my roof and gutter replacement. Work was of high quality, and completed in an expedient and professional manner. Would absolutely recommend!”
Shoutout to Anthony and his crew from Exterior Construction! We hired them to replace our roof and repair the flashing around our garage doors, they were fast and efficient with quality work! Thank you so much!!
I would absolutely recommend Exterior Construction Inc. to any friends and family requiring roof work. We contacted Anthony because of some leaking we were having in the attached garage and a 3-season room that our new roof (from a different now-retired roofer) was supposed to fix. Anthony tracked down where the water was coming in and was able to fix it for us. I wish I had called Exterior Construction Inc. first as Anthony was friendly, professional, easy to work with, and produced very satisfactory results.
