## The honest read

Kilraine & Son Roofing has been putting Tom's name on jobs around Westwood for what the company says is 52 years, dating back to 1974 — though the Better Business Bureau's own file for the company shows it was started in 2011, so the two accounts of how long it's been around don't quite line up.

What isn't in dispute is the volume of detailed, specific praise the crew has earned over the past several years. In a late-2025 review, one customer called the team thorough, efficient and reliable after Tom replaced her elderly mother's roof; another spring-2025 review described a four-day job that stripped a house down, sided it, and installed new gutters, with neighbors commenting on how the house looked afterward. A 2024 reviewer said a vinyl siding job finished a day ahead of schedule with strong craftsmanship, and reviews from 2022 and 2023 describe repeat customers calling Tom back across multiple properties. One 2021 review described hiring the company three separate times — a flashing leak repair, then a full roof replacement, then exterior painting with new gutters — because each job impressed enough to bring them back.

Two more recent, undated reviews on the company's BBB page cut against that picture sharply: one accuses the crew of taking items from a property and reacting angrily when asked to return them, and another says the reviewer wouldn't call Kilraine for a new roof because the company was already responsible for damage on the house. Neither complaint appears anywhere else in the record, but they're serious enough to ask about directly before signing anything, along with getting a straight answer on how long the current business has actually been operating.

For a full roof replacement, siding job, or gutter work in the Westwood area, the bulk of the written record — even though it's a few years old in most cases — points to a crew that does complete, thorough work and finishes on time. Just go in with those two BBB complaints and the ownership-history question in hand.

**Strengths:**
- Named owner praise — reviewers across five years single out Tom by name
- Full exterior projects — siding, gutters and roofing completed together, not just patches
- Repeat customers — reviewers describe using them for multiple properties over years

**Concerns:**
- Alleged property issues — a BBB review accuses the crew of taking items and reacting angrily
- Blamed for damage — another BBB reviewer avoided calling them over a prior roof problem
- History unclear — BBB records show 15 years in business against the company's 52-year claim

**Where sources disagree:**
- The company's own site describes 52 years in business since 1974, while its BBB registration shows the business started in 2011 (15 years) — the two accounts of its history don't match.
