Hurley Construction & Roofing

Hurley Construction & Roofing traces itself back to 1945, a small Somerville family business that's now in its third generation and has been based in Malden since 2006. It works commercial and residential roofing across New England and carries certified-applicator status for several major commercial roofing systems — GenFlex, Carlisle, Firestone and Versico. The written feedback on file is thin but warm rather than detailed. In a 2023 note, a longtime acquaintance called them "the best roofer in the state"; a 2022 review said the customer had done business with Hurley "for decades" and called them good people. Neither walks through a specific job. BBB gives the company an A+ rating, though it notes Hurley isn't formally BBB-accredited. One thing worth double-checking: BBB's file notes that mail sent to the company came back undelivered, and a separate directory profile lists a different owner and town than the company's own site and BBB record — so it's worth confirming you've reached the right location before relying on any listing besides the company's own contact info. For a commercial or specialty roofing system, the manufacturer certifications are a real credential worth asking about directly; for a smaller residential job, ask for a couple of recent references, since the on-file reviews don't describe one.
