Melo's Construction

Melo's Construction is a Peabody roofing crew that also handles the siding, gutter, chimney and carpentry work that comes with a roof job — the kind of outfit homeowners call when the shingles are shot or a leak needs tracing. The company says it's been doing this for over 30 years, describing its start as a decision to specialize in roofing, siding and carpentry rather than take on general construction, and it holds GAF's Master Elite certification along with a Massachusetts chapter membership in the National Roofing Contractors Association. Eight Google reviews from 2023 through 2025 tell a mostly consistent story: crews that show up on time and finish clean. In a 2024 review, a homeowner who hired Melo's for a garage and a full roof replacement called the crew professional and meticulous; another described a 2024 roof job as seamless from start to finish, with the team punctual and efficient throughout. A 2024 review of a wood shingle siding job noted the crew stuck to its scheduled dates, and in a 2023 review, a Peabody-area homeowner said Melo's traveled out to Tewksbury and got a hipped roof watertight over a weekend despite a tricky flashing detail left over from a prior roofing job. The one sour note: a 2024 review described an unresolved roof leak that went six months without a fix despite repeated assurances, with the customer saying Melo's didn't follow through on its warranty and that they were pursuing other options to get it resolved. Its BBB profile — B-, not accredited — reflects a similar pattern: one complaint on file the company didn't respond to. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. Before booking a roof or exterior job, it's worth asking directly how a warranty callback gets handled and getting a timeline in writing, given the one lingering leak complaint on record.
