Karales Home Improvement

Karales Home Improvement puts roofs on in a day: four HomeAdvisor reviewers describe a full roof replacement finished in one day, one of them by noon. The Quincy roofing and siding contractor says it is family-owned and has served the South Shore since 1981, and customers name Mike Karales on the job. HomeAdvisor shows 4.9 from 92 ratings. In a July 2026 review, a customer described a house re-sided and a new deck, said Mike handled the paperwork — contractor's license, building permit, contract and insurance certificate — and that the crew left the work area clean after each day. A May 2026 reviewer said Mike came the same day to fix a minor storm door issue. In July 2025, a customer had old siding replaced with Certainteed monogram vinyl siding. The older roof reviews are detailed. A September 2020 customer said the crew tarped around the house, worked from 8am to noon, swept throughout and went over the yard with a magnetic device for stray nails. Another September 2020 customer, with a 1950s ranch house in Norwood, said the estimate matched their budget and there were no additional unexpected costs. In an April 2022 review, a customer said Mike's price beat 4 previous estimates. A June 2022 siding customer said the crew replaced rotten wood on a sunporch before residing. SVEP Navigator, in an undated listing, reports that Michael Karales dba Karales Home Improvement, described as a roofing contractors facility in Randolph, was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 8 citation(s) and proposed penalties of $6,150.00.
