Precision Roofing Services Of New England, Inc.

Precision Roofing Services Of New England works out of Essex, on the North Shore, and Uncle Tony — owner Tony Carrao — and his crew show up by name in review after review. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, BBB rates it A+, and Owens Corning lists it as a Platinum Preferred Contractor. The volume here is real: 63 reviews since 2021 across seven sources, and Google alone shows 4.9★ from 90 ratings. The thing that repeats across years of reviews is speed paired with a genuinely clean job site — homeowners in Gloucester, Ipswich, Marblehead and around Cape Ann describe full roof replacements finished in a single day, and one recent review said the crew didn't find even a single nail left behind after walking the property afterward. In a 2025 review of a coastal-property job, the plan came with a 50-year Owens Corning warranty and shingles hand-nailed rather than gunned on; in a separate 2025 review, a commercial manufacturing client with zero tolerance for a leaking roof described Precision as the company that finds the problem when other roofers can't. The crew is also the go-to for emergency dispatch — a same-day chimney-flashing repair, a leak found and fixed the day it was called in — and in winter, the same team runs driveway plowing and salting as a side service. Two accounts worth knowing about break from that pattern. A September 2025 review described a new roof — installed that May — developing a leak in a different spot within four months; a caulk patch didn't hold, and the customer was then told an existing HVAC flue would need replacing for a permanent fix. And in a 2022 review, a customer said Precision promised a temporary storm-damage patch that never arrived, then came back weeks later with a "training crew" quote running roughly double three other bids for the same job. For a standard roof replacement or repair on the North Shore, Precision has a deep, mostly glowing track record and real licensing and manufacturer credentials behind it. If a leak recurs after a fresh install, get the fix and any warranty coverage in writing — and if a quote comes in well above competing bids, ask what's driving the gap before signing.
