Verified record
MacDonald Sprague Roofing Co. is a roofing contractor based in Holbrook, MA, offering re-roofing, roof repair, and sheet metal work. The company has been in business since 1950, putting it at 76 years of operation, and has been run across multiple generations of the Sprague family. Direct customer feedback is limited to a single 5-star rating on Google. The Better Business Bureau lists the company with an A+ letter grade, though it is not a BBB-accredited business. Worth asking about before booking: the company's Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#124689) is registry-verified but currently shows an expired status, so homeowners should confirm current licensing directly. A 2020 trade-press obituary also reported the death of company president MacDonald Sprague Jr., who had joined his father and brothers in the family roofing business decades earlier, and BBB's listing still shows Mr. MacDonald Sprague Sr. as president, so it is worth clarifying who currently leads day-to-day operations. For a homeowner in the Holbrook, MA area seeking a long-tenured, family-run roofer for re-roofing or repair work, this is a business with deep local history, though the thin review volume and expired license status are worth confirming before signing a contract.
