Lambert Roofing Co

Lambert Roofing puts a 1932 founding date on its own website and carries 35 employees on its BBB profile — one of the older roofing names in the Merrimack Valley, and the review volume matches: 44 Google ratings averaging 4.7. The company works both sides of the trade, commercial flat and TPO work alongside residential shingle roofs, with separate divisions for gutters and custom metal, windows and siding. Twenty-two written reviews stretch back to 2021 across seven sources, and the pattern holds steady. Homeowners credit the owner's hands-on involvement at the estimate stage, crews that finish quickly and leave the property clean, and follow-through when something needed fixing after the fact. The company is BBB accredited with an A+ grade, accredited since 1996, and is listed as a member of the Haverhill Chamber of Commerce. Two things temper that. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 121981, comes back expired in the state registry — roofing is not one of the trades Massachusetts exempts from HIC registration, so ask about renewal before you sign, since an unregistered contractor puts the state Guaranty Fund out of reach if a dispute arises. And a minority of reviewers have raised scheduling and communication complaints — missed appointments and slow callbacks — a noticeably different picture from the full-replacement reviews. One more thing to reconcile: the website dates the company to 1932, BBB lists a 1972 business start, and Angi's profile says 30 years of experience. Nothing about the work turns on which is right, but it is a reminder to get details in writing. For a full roof replacement in and around Haverhill this is a deep, long-reviewed outfit with the crew size to finish a house in a day or two. Confirm the registration status and pin the schedule down in the contract before work starts — and if your job is a small repair rather than a replacement, ask up front how it gets slotted in.
