JM Crites Roofing

JM Crites Roofing is a small, family-run roofing outfit in Taunton — asphalt shingle installs and repairs, plus roof and exterior power-washing — but the most heavily documented fact about the company is a state enforcement action, not a job. In 2019, the Massachusetts Attorney General's office cited owners Larry and Jared Crites, doing business as JM Crites Roofing & Construction, for failing to pay overtime and the prevailing wage on a public project and for payroll record violations. Local news reported more than $35,000 in combined restitution and penalties across five citations; Violation Tracker's own database lists a $7,500 penalty for the same action — the two sources don't agree on the exact dollar figure, but both describe the same 2019 wage case. The company is a sole proprietorship that started in 2015 with three employees. Its BBB profile lists it as not accredited and not rated. Anyone considering this company for a public or prevailing-wage job should ask directly how payroll and overtime are handled now, given the 2019 citations. Ask for references directly before booking any residential work.
