Pinnacle Roofing Newton

Homeowners keep describing the same thing: Chris, the owner, shows up fast, tells them honestly what the roof needs, and doesn't push work they don't need. Pinnacle Roofing, which also operates as Pinnacle Exteriors, is a roofing and exterior contractor based in Auburndale, Newton, covering Newton and nearby towns such as Brookline, Needham, Wellesley, Waltham and Lexington. The company says its team has been in roofing for more than 25 years and that Chris personally oversees every project; reviewers often mention his son Nick working alongside him. The written track record runs from 2023 to 2026, all five-star Google reviews, with a steady stream this year. A homeowner writing in June 2026 said Pinnacle had replaced the roof on their first house back in 2002 and came back this year for a new roof, skylight, fascia and gutters, with meticulous cleanup. Another customer this spring said Chris came within hours to fix shingles on a two-year-old roof and refused payment because the job was short. Several reviewers note fair, competitive pricing after collecting multiple quotes, and one said they were dealing with someone who had installed roofs for decades rather than a salesperson. Honest assessments come up again and again. In 2025, a new homeowner said Chris told them their roof still had a few years left, fixed a couple of minor issues, and said to call back in five years; another couple said he advised that major work wasn't a good use of money yet. A Reddit commenter in Somerville reported this month that another roofer quoted $7,000 for new shingles while Pinnacle found nail pops, added flashing for $500, and that seemed to fix the leak. The work goes beyond full replacements. In 2024 reviews, homeowners described Pinnacle tracing a condo roof-deck leak other contractors had missed to a fence detail, replacing three skylights, rebuilding a porch with matching redwood shingles, and repairing asphalt and Mansard slate roofs. A 2023 customer described a wood-to-aluminum gutter conversion and roof on an 1800s home done to match its period style, and another had new wood siding installed. A January 2024 reviewer said a nine-person crew replaced both house and garage roofs in one day and ran a magnet sweep for nails the next day, too. The one reservation on record is minor: a 2024 reviewer said they had to nudge Chris for the written estimate and to get the paperwork right, while praising the repair itself.
