McGilley Roofing & Construction Inc.

McGilley Roofing & Construction is a Saugus outfit built around one recurring image in its reviews: owner Tom McGilley on the ladder himself, walking homeowners through the quote, then showing up with his crew to finish the job — often in a single day. Across 54 reviews spanning 2015 to 2026, the same details keep surfacing: a full roof tear-off and replacement wrapped up before dark, a yard swept clean afterward, and a price that came in at or below competing bids. That track record runs deep. Google shows 4.9 stars from 53 ratings, Angi rates the company 5.0 from its five reviews, and the Better Business Bureau grades it A+. Massachusetts has verified the company's home improvement contractor registration as active. Customers describe repeat business spanning years — one homeowner hired McGilley for a roof, then called them back for new gutters seven years later; another used them for a house in Saugus and then a second home thirty miles away. Real estate agents and buyers have complimented finished roofs during home sales, according to one reviewer. The work goes beyond roofing itself: reviewers mention siding replacement, gutter installation and gutter-guard work, skylight repairs, snow removal from roofs in winter, and general carpentry alongside the roofing jobs. Not every account is glowing. A 2024 review described a roof McGilley installed roughly nine years earlier developing a leak, said other contractors who inspected it found workmanship issues, and reported that the company declined to address it — worth asking about directly, especially around long-term workmanship warranties. A 2022 reviewer, while overall satisfied with a partial roof replacement, noted that a few specifics requested at the time of the quote weren't fully carried out on installation day. For a full roof replacement, a leak repair, or exterior work like siding and gutters in the Saugus area, McGilley's pattern is fast turnarounds and hands-on ownership — worth confirming, before booking, exactly what's covered if a problem surfaces years down the line.
