A crew of eight turned up, covered the bushes, the deck and the yard, and had the roof finished before the end of the day. The homeowner who wrote that in October 2025 added that it was the third roof Mike Leary had done for them. One-day replacements keep showing up in what customers write: a September 2025 client had a whole roof done in a day, and a June 2025 client had the garage and sunroom roofs done in one, shingles matched to the house, the property left cleaner than the crew found it.
The Lexington company says it began in 1975, when Mike Leary Sr. started roofing as a teenager, and is now run with his sons Jim and Mike Jr. Its own site covers roof replacement and repair, siding, gutters, windows and skylights, exterior carpentry and snowplowing across Lexington, Winchester, Burlington, Concord, Lincoln, Belmont, Bedford, Arlington and Carlisle. The BBB, which publishes an A+ letter grade for the business, adds rubber roofing and custom copper work to that list.
Mike is the one customers meet first. A September 2025 homeowner who had struggled to choose among several quotes for fascia, soffit and gutters said Mike came out to look the same day they called. A July 2025 customer ran into him at work, recognized the shirt, asked about gutters, and had an estimate inside a week, noting he wasn't trying to sell anything extra. In August 2026, a client praised his patience walking through the pros and cons of different roof options, and said the job landed on time and on budget.
The work runs past shingles. A June 2026 customer had a full roofing system put on after a previous contractor botched it, finished ahead of schedule. An August 2025 client had the roof replaced, the deck rebuilt and the trim repaired in one project. A June 2026 homeowner got storm-damaged trim put back and said smaller jobs like that are difficult to get anyone to take. Vinyl siding, ice melt cables and skylights all turn up in 2026 accounts too.
Licensing is the piece to check for yourself. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration and a construction supervisor licence for the business and shows them inactive, while the company's own site describes both sons as Massachusetts construction supervisors. That is a directory's report set against the company's own words, not a registry answer either way.
For a roof, gutters or exterior carpentry in Lexington and the towns around it, this is a crew that arrives in numbers, works full days and cleans up behind itself. Ask for the current licence and registration numbers in writing before you sign, and settle whether your job is a one-day job or several.
