Lane Roofing is a Derry, New Hampshire roofing contractor that says it does residential and commercial roof replacement, repair and inspection in shingle and metal. The company says owner Josh Lane started the business with just himself and a single truck, and that his father Carlton Lane is its sales manager. A recent customer said that while checking their attic, Josh noticed the bathroom vent was never vented out the roof and made sure it went out the roof. A recent customer with a leaking roof said they were offered temporary solutions for the leaks while waiting a few weeks for the new roof. One recent reviewer said they were called immediately when rotted plywood was found under the old shingles. A recent reviewer had the entire roof done, three skylights replaced and an old, rusting part of the chimney replaced. A recent 1-star customer said that after Lane replaced their roof a few years ago, ice dams caused water to drip through the soffit, and that they tried for two years before Josh sent a person out. That customer said a different roofing contractor later found the ice and water shield in front of the dormer was never installed. A 2025 Reddit commenter wrote of complaints about poor clean-up after jobs, including nails left behind. A 2023 customer said the crew arrived promptly in the morning and was done with a fairly large house before 4:00 that same day.
“Had my whole roof done back in February 2025. I had bad ice dams and water leaking into the house. Josh Lane came and looked at the situation, made his recommendations, gave 3 different options as far as how much work to do, ranging from the minimum needed to fix the problem up to just doing the whole roof. Importantly, he identified that we needed a ventilated drip edge installed, which was apparently the biggest factor in preventing ice dams. He w”
“Yes, Lane roofing in Derry. There are also several customers complaining that the owner of Lane yells at them. Tons of complaints about poor clean up after the job (several customers having to buy new tires because of running over nails left after the job was done), oh…and not only the Haverhill PD, but the Haverhill building inspectors have had it with Lane roofing, also. Some of the aforementioned recent reviews also have pictures, as well. I'm really glad that you had a good experience with them. I'm just too spooked. Sounds like something changed over there.”
“Lane Roofing in Derry? Well, I had a good experience with them.”
“Thanks. I've been looking at all their recent reviews and BBB site. Many reviews as early as 19 days ago, and they are absolutely brutal. It also looks like they have problems with the Haverhill PD, too. I think I'm gonna pass on Lane, but I appreciate it.”
“Lane Roofing. Look no further.”
“The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration said the two workers, whom OSHA did not identify, work for JVC Construction and Lane Roofing.”
We just had our roof replaced by Lane Roofing Alan the Project Mgr and his crew did an outstanding job and left our place clean. Would highly recommend them
Lane roofing was a perfect choice for my home roof project. The owner was very informative and took the time to discuss the job with me so I understood exactly what the project entailed. Their construction team was not only well experienced and efficient but very professional and job cleanup was immaculate. I highly recommend Lane Roofing for anyone's project.
Lane roofing recently replaced our barn roof as well as our main house roof. We were very happy with the job. Everyone was professional and executed the work in a timely manner. Would highly recommend.
I can't express how impress I was with Lane Roofing! Alan who was their project manager and team was some of the most hard working people I've seen. They were also very courteous about what time they were working until when I felt bad because how hot it was for them! They were extremely nice, EXTREMELY hard workers. They worked from 7 in the morning until they finish and Al still called to say how they will continue back the next day to help clean up. I am so impressed and thankful for them! Josh was also amazing answering any question we had and also walked us through what the best shingle color. I absolutely would recommend them to anybody who needs any roof anything!
We could not be happier with our experience with Lane Roofing and our new roof. I called for an estimate. Josh Lane said he was nearby and was here within 3 minutes. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I had an estimate by the end of that day. Josh said they'd do the work within 2-3 weeks but could be flexible. They let me know the start date and a 7 am start time. The project manager Andrew texted that he'd be here early to review the project and answer any questions. The crew showed up early too. They worked a long day removing 2 layers of old tiles and installing the new roof. People on the ground cleaned up as the project went along. The crew was respectful of property and our landscaping with flowers in bloom. We have a large house and they completed the roof in one day. While checking our attic, Josh noticed that our bathroom vent was never vented out the roof. He made sure the vent went out the roof. We've been in our home a long time and there are not many contractors I would recommend. However, I do not hesitate to recommend Lane Roofing - 5 Stars! Lane Roofing went above and beyond for us.
