Four hundred nineteen ratings on Best Pick Reports average 4.8, and the trade-off homeowners keep describing underneath that number is the same one: this is not the cheap bid, but the roof stops leaking. GF Sprague works out of Needham on the outside of the house — roofing first, then gutters, siding, window replacement and chimney work, with historic restoration listed among its services on its Better Business Bureau page, where it is accredited and holds an A+. The last few months read consistently. In August a homeowner had a full roof replacement finished on schedule at a price they called competitive. In June a specialist named Steve came out quickly on an urgent call and sealed the area from inside the roof as well; in March the same name turns up clearing ice off another roof and explaining each step as he went. In May a customer singled out Nate Kelsey for climbing up to look at the roof in person rather than pricing it off a satellite view, and in April a crew under Paul Elliot handled the work after Justin Fernandes wrote it up — a company where homeowners learn the names of the people on their job. Two themes run through the complaints, and both are worth raising before you sign. The first is cost: a steady run of reviewers describe the pricing as high, and some warn that the final number climbed once the crew got into the work. The second is internal hand-offs — sales, project management and the crews reading as separate departments, with quotes taking repeat requests and work orders that did not match what arrived on site. A smaller group reports cleanup left unfinished or a follow-up call that went unreturned, and one reviewer says the job was not done properly and would not use them again. One piece of background worth having: a 2023 announcement from the advisory firm Angle Advisors reported that Infinity Home Services, a residential roofing group, had acquired GF Sprague. That is useful context when you ask who stands behind the warranty and who manages your job day to day. They are the right call for the difficult, done-once roof — slate, copper, chimney flashing, historic detail — where the real cost of a cheap bid is a leak you chase for years. Before booking, have the estimate walked from a ladder rather than a screen, ask what happens to the price if rot turns up underneath, and get the schedule, the point of contact and the final cleanup in writing.

“Steve is an excellent specialist, and I wholeheartedly recommend him. Steve came very quickly for my urgent request and did an excellent job. He even did more than was required and helped me seal the area from the inside of the roof.”
“Great family owned business. Their expertise is second to none.”
We recently had our roof replaced by GF Sprague Roofing, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Pricing was competitive, communication was excellent from start to finish, everyone was professional, and the project was completed on time as promised. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding, and the crew took great care with both the installation and the cleanup. It’s clear they take pride in their work. A special thank you to Nate (Sales), Ryan (PM), and Mark (Job Site Manager). Each of them was knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with throughout the project. We highly recommend GF Sprague Roofing to anyone looking for a reliable, professional roofing company. Thank you!
Steve is an excellent specialist, and I wholeheartedly recommend him. Steve came very quickly for my urgent request and did an excellent job. He even did more than was required and helped me seal the area from the inside of the roof. My plumbers installed new piping through the roof, and I needed the opening sealed. The work was done very quickly and professionally!
Great experience with GF Sprague from start to finish. Nate Kelsey came to our home to look at the roof in person (vs. other companies that just used a satellite view) and took time to discuss different options with me. The crew that did the work was efficient-- everything was done in one day -- did quality work and thoroughly cleaned up afterward. Throughout the process the whole team was responsive and professional. Highly recommend!
We had a fantastic experience with GF Sprague Roofing & Siding from start to finish. Justin Fernandes was great to work with on the sales side. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and made the entire process feel straightforward and well managed. Paul Elliot and his crew handled the installation, and they were outstanding. The job was completed quickly and efficiently, and the quality of the work was excellent. Everything was executed at a very high level, and the attention to detail really showed in the final result. We are located in South Boston, so there are always logistical challenges with tight streets and neighborhood limitations, but the team handled everything seamlessly without any issues. Overall, they were professional, easy to work with, and extremely responsive throughout the entire project. We are very pleased with the outcome, would absolutely recommend them, and would not hesitate to use them again for future projects.
Steve was amazing. He arrived when he said he would, got all the ice off my roof and clearly explained all the work he was doing. I’ll definetly recommend him to anyone who needs work done on their house. Very professional.
