# O'LYN Roofing **Trade:** Roofing · **Address:** 916 Pleasant St STE 4, Norwood, MA 02062, USA · **Phone:** (781) 725-6795 · **Website:** https://www.olynroofing.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=GMBListing-Norwood-MA · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.2/5** (high confidence) — from 310 reviews across 7 sources. 95% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 40 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read O'Lyn Roofing is a Norwood-based roofing contractor with 533 Google ratings averaging 4.8, a BBB A+ grade, and similarly strong marks on Best Pick Reports and Angi — the kind of volume that comes from years of steady work across the Boston suburbs. The through-line in the reviews is candor before the sale. Multiple homeowners describe O'Lyn as the only roofer who visited in person rather than quoting off a satellite image, or who talked them out of a bigger job than they needed — one reviewer spent two years chasing a chimney leak before an O'Lyn technician diagnosed it by listening and inspecting rather than pushing a quick fix or a full replacement. On the job itself, crews are repeatedly credited for finishing fast (a full roof from Thursday morning to Friday afternoon is typical), texting photo updates during the workday, and handling complicated work — a 150-year-old leaky slate roof on a two-unit house was rebuilt into a modern, properly ventilated asphalt system. The company has also donated and replaced both dugout roofs for Norwood Little League. The front end of the process is where complaints cluster. In 2025 reviews, one customer waited a month for an estimate that never arrived, another was ghosted entirely after a quote visit, and a third described an automated scheduling call showing up unannounced on a holiday during a rainstorm. A 2024 review describes a signed contract the company later said it couldn't honor because of a measurement error, and a 2022 review describes tar stains left on a new deck and metal debris near a front door with young children in the house. A separate 2025 review describes a leak-diagnosis visit that never found the source, later solved easily by a different company. None of that shows up in the last six months — the 41 most recent reviews are all positive. For a straightforward roof job, the execution track record is deep; if your project starts with an estimate or a smaller repair, it's worth confirming a callback timeline upfront. **Strengths:** - In-person inspections — the only bidder who skipped satellite quotes - No hard sell — diagnosed a leak instead of pushing a big job - Fast turnarounds — full roofs done in a day or two - Community give-back — rebuilt Little League dugout roofs **Concerns:** - Estimate delays — 2025 reviews cite unanswered quote requests - Contract dispute — a 2024 review cites a voided signed contract - Property care lapse — a 2022 review cites deck and yard damage ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - BBB grade is A+ and it is a BBB accredited business _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/norwood/profile/roofing-contractors/olyn-roofing-0021-4214) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/norwood/profile/roofing-contractors/olyn-roofing-0021-4214) — “Better Business Bureau: accredited / certified / member” - Reviewer describes O'Lyn as the only roofer to inspect on-site rather than quote off satellite images _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xORk1UQjZkVXAzTVcxR2JWSlBNVFZYUmtkc1ozYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x9bb60a82c885f82c!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOlNFMTB6dUp3MW1GbVJPMTVXRkdsZ3c%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ I solicited two bids, but O'Lyn was the only one to visit on-site first (the other relied on Google satellite images).
