Verified record
On Time General Services works out of Revere and takes on the exterior jobs homeowners put off — full siding and roofing overhauls, plus painting and waterproofing. The company says it has 29 years in the trade, dealing in vinyl siding, windows, doors, seamless aluminum gutters and roofing. Every review on file is five stars, and the fullest one is worth reading closely: in a 2019 review, a homeowner described hiring the company to reside and re-roof a Gloucester cottage exposed to heavy sea air, managing the job from two hours away. She credited the owner, Victor, with walking her through material choices, sending texts and photos throughout, bringing a generator to the site when a storm knocked out power mid-project, and fixing incidental damage — a cracked window, a torn screen — without being asked twice. Other 2019 reviewers describe similar work on a smaller scale: new vinyl siding paired with a new deck, and a whole-house job that also touched electrical and heating, each finishing on schedule. The written record is exactly that, though — five reviews, all from 2019, mirrored identically across HomeAdvisor and Angi rather than offering independent corroboration on top of each other. Nothing on file is more recent, so there's no way to say from these reviews whether the crew that handled that Gloucester cottage in 2019 is the same one that would show up today. For siding, roofing or gutter work, the track record here is specific rather than vague, even if it runs a few years back. Worth asking directly about current crew and availability before booking, since nothing in the record post-dates 2019.

As a person who knew nothing about siding or roofing and has never had to find a contractor for a project of this scale, I was very anxious about the task ahead of me. I had to ask many questions as I proceeded through the process (identifying contractors to come to the cottage, interviewing the finalists, etc.). I greatly appreciated that Victor was always patient and explained things so a layperson like me could understand them. He was invaluable in helping me select the right siding and roofing materials for a Gloucester cottage that receives a lot of wear and tear from the often-harsh sea air. Also, as an experienced builder, his perspective and advice was greatly appreciated. Once his business had been selected, he outlined the timeframe and sequencing of the work and about the different crews that would be doing the work. He advised me as to how to prepare the cottage (remove items from shelves and the walls as well as cover the furniture) before the work began. As I did not stay at the cottage while the work was being done (and as I live over 2 hours away from the cottage), Victor was conscientious in keeping me informed by texts, phone calls, and photos. There were challenges to overcome, mostly rotted wood (no real surprise), and Victor contacted me immediately, and we talked about his proposed solutions. I was able to see during a couple of my visits to the site (and via the photos) that the crews worked diligently and efficiently to keep the project moving. Victor’s crew had started the project with materials on site, so the transitions from the demolition, to the roof, to the trim and windows, then to the siding were seamless. The only delays, which were not many, were due to weather conditions. Toward the end of the project, there was a storm that caused a power outage but, undeterred, Victor brought a generator to the site so that the project could be completed within the original projected timeframe. I was greatly pleased at the way Victor responded to a few items that had received some damage during the project—a window had to be re-glazed and the screen replaced and a screen door had to be re-hung. He addressed all my concerns quickly and efficiently. I would definitely contact Victor and the On Time General Services team in the future for projects for the cottage that I know are looming in the not-too-distant future.
On time services is great and on time. They did my house’s vinyl siding and also they build a nice deck on my back yard. I am very please and happy with them. I totally recommend their work. They are the best.
It was amazing my house looks great! And the project was completed super fast!
They did a great work, my house look like a new house, very oriente to detail, all his crew was very professional left my house like nothing happened.
