Professional Roofing Contractors

Professional Roofing Contractors is a Salem, Massachusetts outfit built around the harder end of the trade — slate, copper, steeple, and low-slope commercial roofing rather than the routine reshingle job. The company says it has been owner-operated since 1965 and serves towns across Greater Boston from Acton and Andover down through Braintree and Brookline, though its Better Business Bureau filing puts the founding a decade later, in 1976. Either account puts it in business for roughly 50 to 60 years. Its public review trail is thin — a single 5-star rating on Google is the only third-party feedback on file, and it's old enough that it can't speak to how the crew is performing lately. The Better Business Bureau doesn't accredit the company and hasn't assigned it a rating, saying it simply lacks enough information to do so. What's easier to verify is the licensing: an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration is on file with the state, and its BBB listing also shows a state Construction Supervisor License and a Licensed limited roofer credential. Given how little shows up publicly about actual jobs, ask for a couple of recent references — especially for the slate, copper, or steeple work the company says is its focus — before relying on its history alone. This reads like a contractor built for the unusual roof — slate, copper flashing, tile, a steeple — more than a standard asphalt job, but with so little independent track record online, confirm recent, comparable work directly before booking.
