Gustafson Contracting

Roofs are the whole job at Gustafson Contracting — asphalt, cedar, metal, rubber, slate and flat — worked out of Plymouth for homeowners in Falmouth, Plymouth and across Cape Cod. The company describes itself as locally owned and operated, with over a decade of roofing behind it, and it runs siding and dumpster service alongside the roof work. It carries a 5-star average from four Google ratings and an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau. The BBB also lists Paul Gustafson Roofing at the same Jonathan Circle address — a sole proprietorship owned by Paul Gustafson, likewise A+, shown as in business since 1987. So the first thing to settle on a call is which name your contract, warranty and insurance certificate will carry, since the site's "over a decade" and that 1987 start date cover very different stretches. Worth asking too whether the dumpster is folded into the roof price or billed on its own. For a straightforward re-roof or a repair on the South Shore or the Cape, this is a small local outfit worth a quote. Confirm the Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration and a current certificate of insurance before anyone gets on the roof, and ask for a couple of recent jobs nearby you can drive past.
