Northshore Exterior Experts

Northshore Exterior Experts, based in Danvers, handles the kind of exterior work that changes how a house looks from the street — siding, roofing, and custom decks for North Shore homeowners. The company holds an A+ Better Business Bureau accreditation and a perfect 5-star Google average across 19 ratings; its own site lists it as an LP SmartSide Master Preferred Contractor, a James Hardie Experienced Contractor, a CertainTeed Accomplished Roofing Applicator, and an Owens Corning Contractor. Worth flagging up front: the site's own account of how long it's been around doesn't add up — one section claims "10+ years" of experience, another says "since 2002," while BBB's own record shows the business was incorporated in October 2022. Set the tenure question aside and the actual project record is deep and consistently detailed. A trustee overseeing a condo association with four buildings and 13 units had the crew reroof every unit and install new vinyl siding, calling it their new "go-to exterior contractor" — a verdict from a reviewer who said they had 40 years in construction themselves. A homeowner needing 17 window frames replaced, new fascia boards and rakes, two new sets of front stairs, and rotted plywood swapped out got the whole job done in 2.5 weeks on 12-hour days. One customer's project had stalled with another company before Northshore "saved" it, building a deck, siding the house with LP Smartside, and adding gutters along the way — earning a compliment from the customer's retired-builder stepdad, someone "never impressed by anyone". Reviewers keep naming the same two people running jobs, Cesar and Brian, credited with everything from catching a plumbing issue mid-project and connecting the homeowner to a cheaper fix to walking a first-time homeowner through the whole process with repeated in-person check-ins. There isn't a documented complaint in the record — the closest is one reviewer noting a supplier hiccup, not the crew's fault, that the team "were willing to do anything to fix". One thing worth double-checking if you're near the state line: the company's Houzz listing shows a service area mixing real North Shore towns with several New Hampshire ones, which doesn't match the Massachusetts-only coverage the company states elsewhere. For a full-house siding or roofing job, or something that combines several exterior trades at once — deck, siding, gutters — this is a company reviewers describe finishing on time and cleaning up after itself, with Cesar or Brian typically the point of contact from quote to final walkthrough.
