Greater Boston Roofing is an Andover outfit that has quietly become one of the most-reviewed roofers in the area — 4.9 stars across 854 Google ratings and 256 written reviews since 2022, with an A+ BBB rating and an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration. The volume alone says something: this is a high-throughput crew running multiple jobs a week, not a small local shop. The written record backs that up with specifics. Crews are repeatedly described finishing full roof replacements in a single day — including a 2,800-square-foot roof on the coldest day of the year, per one review, and a job completed mid-thunderstorm without extra charge for suspect plywood found underneath. A recent (April 2026) reviewer described the crew replacing plywood and working long hours despite a darkening sky, and an April 2024 review recounts a major, multi-plane slate roof rebuild on a Manchester, NH apartment building that resolved long-standing chimney leaks. Named staff come up constantly and specifically — project managers Peter Vincent and Bill, and office coordinator Lisa Zonfrillo — the kind of repeat name recognition that's hard to fake across hundreds of reviews. The one recurring soft spot, showing up across several years rather than a single bad month: when something goes wrong after installation, getting a response can be slow. A recent (May 2026) review describes a lifetime skylight warranty claim that went nowhere; an October 2025 review describes a re-leak that got one visit and then weeks of silence; and a March 2024 review describes water damage traced back to a 2022 install that took months of unanswered follow-up to even get looked at. A handful of other reviews, including a January 2026 one, describe damaged property (screens, a garden lamp) or debris left behind that wasn't promptly addressed. None of this is universal — most reviews describe thorough cleanup and responsive project managers — but it's a real enough pattern across enough years to flag on its own, distinct from the installation-quality complaints that also show up occasionally. For a straightforward roof replacement, this is a well-reviewed, high-volume, licensed shop with a strong day-of-install track record. If an issue does turn up afterward — a leak, a warranty claim — it's worth following up in writing and staying persistent.
“I went with GBR. They did a fine job.”
“Greater Boston Roofing already has 8 permits this year.”
“The two most affordable were from Greater Boston Roofing and JOHN HUBERT ROOFING & HOME.”
I would highly recommend Greater Boston Roofing. The project coordinator, Lisa was a pleasure to work with and was very responsive in communication. She made sure that I had all of the timelines. The on site crew manager, Peter did a great job making sure that the job was completed properly, Making sure to replace any items found that were not up to par. The crew did a good job working through 2 days of on and off rain makeing sure to cover parts that would be exposed and finishing up the job by cleaning up all left over materials. Thank you for a great job.
Highly recommended! We love our newly certain teed landmark pro shingle from Greater Boston Roofing company. My wife and I shopped around and Greater Boston Roofing gave us the best quoted. We want to thank Brandon Cochran, Lisa Zonfrillo, Peter Vincent and the crew. They were very professional and did a great job installation. The crew did it all in one day. They were mindful of protecting our yard and valuables around the yard.
Arthur made the process easy. He was pleasurable to work with. Very reasonable price. I would recommend Arthur at ASAP to friends and family.
I had my entire roof replaced over a month ago (March 2026). The owner and project manager/warden (Clinton, Peter) at GBR seem like good people, but unfortunately the workmanship from the crew did not meet expectations. You could clearly see the difference between the roof after the old shingles were stripped and after the new shingles were installed. Many, if not all, of the shingles appear misaligned - looking straight from window), and parts of the facade were broken and then reattached in pieces. It appears as if the work was done in a hurry or by an inexperienced worker. I understand that no project is ever perfect, so I only requested a few reasonable corrections: 1. Patch the hole created in the facade that are in pieces 2. Replace one shingle that appears to be missing in the valley (see picture) 3. Replace the drain that was mysteriously discarded 4. Flatten 5–6 shingles that are visibly curling upward even after weeks of many hot days. After many calls and weeks of waiting, the only repair that seems to have been handled satisfactorily was the drain replacement completed by Peter. Since the company is local, I originally planned to recommend them to many friends and neighbors. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I can no longer do that.
My mother paid for a roof replacement which included installation of a new skylight which came with a lifetime warranty. If you need a roofing company with great service and a lifetime warranty claim is an important part of your decision, this is not the company for you. Our Skylight window began leaking and my elderly mother contacted the company to file a claim. After she received no response, I contacted the company. They came out to the house twice to check out the problem and left with no communication both times regarding next steps or what if anything they did to correct the leak. I called and requested a callback to receive an update on: 3/16, 4/17 and 4/20. Zero response from this company.
