John's Construction is a Methuen roofing outfit that specializes in the jobs other roofers turn down — the reviews here center on old, steep, or oddly shaped roofs rather than routine reroofs. One reviewer credits the company as the only contractor willing to work an 1890 slate roof on a three-story house, and specifically notes the crew stayed OSHA-compliant while climbing and walking the slate. Another describes a full teardown-and-rebuild on an 1800s house: a new roof, chimney removed, soffits and fascia reframed and wrapped in aluminum. A third reviewer had a 25-year-old camp roof redone and mentions a clean job site throughout. The company also does gutter work on the side, per one reviewer. All eight reviews on file are from 2026 and average five stars, with several praising communication and work ethic in general terms. That's a short track record — there's no history before this year to point to yet, so it's worth asking about experience with a specific roof type or age before committing to anything unusual.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from JOHN'S COSTRUCTION. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
A square is 100 sq ft of roof surface — bigger than the floor plan because of pitch and overhangs.

The only company who did not turn down work on an older 1890 slate roof. Workers were in full compliance of OSHA rules while climbing and walking on the slate roof of a 3-story house. workers displayed great work ethics, strongly recommend this contractor who also does gutters and interior work.
Highly recommended John’s Construction! We hired John to redo our roof, remove our chimney, and reframe our soffits and facia and wrap with aluminum. The house is an old 1800s house. And let me just tell you that that crew worked their butts off getting that done! John is very easy to talk to, extremely accommodating, and very quality conscious. His team are a group of extremely hard-working people that show up in the morning and work until the job gets done. This type of work ethic is very rarely seen nowadays. John- thank you so much for the work that you guys did at our house. And I look forward to seeing you later this summer. When we get the mudroom built! Thanks Mike S.
Good job 👍
John and his team did a fantastic job on my 25 year old camp roof! Looks so good! Professional throughout the process and cleaned perfectly. Roof looks like it will last another 100 years!
John’s General corporation is really good at doing roofing insider. I would have to give this a five star rating because how good the service how quickly they do it and they don’t charge us as much and I just wanna say that John Jones corporation is the best for roofing in citing.
