John Bean Roofing

John Bean Roofing is a family-owned roofing, siding and gutter contractor based in Hanover, Massachusetts. The company traces to 1982, when John Senior, a union-trained roofer, began doing the work on the side before building it into a full-time business; it is now co-owned and run by his sons, Tom and John Bean. The company states it serves Cohasset, Scituate, Marshfield, Hingham, Hull, Hanover, Norwell, Pembroke, Plymouth, Duxbury and Kingston, and offers free estimates. Homeowners who hired them consistently describe full roof replacements completed in a single day, with crews that sweep up nails and clean the property before leaving. Recent projects also cover gutter and siding work, including one job that replaced roofing, gutters and gutter guards while converting a house's exterior from cedar shingles to vinyl siding, and another that replaced trim boards and gutters alongside a new roof. One reviewer describes the crew handling communication with their insurance adjuster after a tree struck their roof during a winter storm. The Better Business Bureau lists the company as accredited with an A+ grade, and it carries a 5-star Google rating from 169 ratings, plus matching 5.0 scores on Angi and HomeAdvisor from 38 ratings each; its review history spans 2013 to 2026, with none of the last six months' reviews rated negatively. Worth asking about before booking: federal OSHA records show one inspection at the company's Hanover address resulted in a violation and a $2,838 penalty. It's worth asking directly what that finding involved and what has changed since. For South Shore homeowners who want a roof replaced or repaired quickly, with same-day turnaround and thorough cleanup, this is a long-tenured, family-run choice with decades of local history; get a written estimate and confirm current scheduling before booking.
