Over The Top Roofing

Over The Top Roofing works out of Peabody with a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration that's active and verified, and the volume behind it is real: 4.9★ across 190 Google ratings and a 5.0★ Houzz page, with 159 written reviews stretching back to 2021. The name that comes up constantly is Sarah, the estimator who shows up with a drone — sending customers aerial photos of the actual damage before any work starts rather than asking them to take someone's word for it. One homeowner said Sarah's report included two separate proposals, a repair and a full replacement, after "all other roofers we called said we needed a new roof" — they went with the cheaper repair. That pattern, a real choice instead of a push toward the bigger job, shows up again in reviews describing competitive quotes and crews that stick to the agreed scope. The work itself ranges from a single detached garage roof to a 21-unit townhouse complex finished on schedule and a large commercial re-roof in Lynn. Junior, the owner, and his brother Paulo, the foreman, get named repeatedly for staying reachable by text through a job and checking in before, during and after; techs David and Davi handle smaller repairs and gutter fixes with the same drone-photo documentation. In a 2022 review, a homeowner described a chimney flashing repair that stopped a fireplace leak that had recurred every time it rained for years, and reviewers across the record consistently mention thorough same-day cleanup — no nails or shingles left behind. It isn't spotless: one reviewer in mid-2024 reported no call and no show for a scheduled quote, and another noted the crew didn't communicate clearly the one time a job ran past a single day. Those read as exceptions in an otherwise dense, consistent record — seven reviews in the last six months, none negative. For anything from a leaking gutter to a full tear-off, the drone inspection and a written repair-vs-replace option are worth asking for up front.
