Thirty-five years in the house without moss on the roof, and then there it was. The homeowner called Chris Healy in July 2024 and he was there the next morning, several hours in the hot sun, stripping the moss off and clearing the gutters underneath it. He tends to move fast: in July 2018 a homeowner with gutter trouble had him out the same day, and rather than just clearing them he pulled off the screens that were causing the blockage and re-secured the gutters and downspouts. Healy Construction works out of Natick, and HomeAdvisor lists 36 years in business. The work is exterior maintenance and repair — decks and porches, seamless metal, galvanized and PVC gutter repair, gutter and downspout cleaning, roof cleaning, exterior trim — plus the interior and exterior carpentry customers hire him for directly. Estimates that hold come up again and again. A May 2020 customer wrote that he started soon after giving the estimate, worked each day until the project was done, and charged the same price he had quoted. A June 2020 client wanting a deck sealed said he checked that the coming days were dry and that the deck had dried out after a recent power washing, then fit them in immediately. An August 2021 customer having a deck refaced called him upfront about costs and said he showed up as promised. One account runs the other way, from May 2018. That customer wrote that they had hired him the previous November for $1,500 of interior and exterior carpentry, added more work onto the job, and were contacting HomeAdvisor for help with it. HomeAdvisor's own profile describes a single unresolved follow-up complaint among the 62 reviews there. The written history is long but front-loaded: most of the accounts are from 2018 to 2021, with shorter recent notes in June and December 2025 about flexible scheduling, good work and a fair price. For gutters, roof cleaning, deck repair and exterior carpentry around Natick, he is a strong call — particularly when something needs doing this week. Put any work you add mid-job in writing as it comes up; that is where the one unresolved complaint started.

Chris was very helpful, communicated well, and did good work for a fair price. Will use again
Great work and was flexible on schedule.
For the first time in 35 years I found moss growing on my roof. I hired Chris Healy to remove the moss and clean my gutters. He did the job the very next morning – working for several hours in the hot sun – completely removing the moss and cleaning out the gutters and the associated downspouts. The roof was spotless. Great job.
Chris is personable as well as professional, and goes the extra mile to point out any areas that need attention and negotiate a fair price. He owns his own construction company, and so can do carpentry and other services as well. I highly recommend him.
Chris Healy did a great job refacing our deck, he was very professional, upfront with costs and showed up as promised. I would gladly hire him for another project.
