Red Dog's Roofing LLC

Roof replacements and repairs are central to Red Dog's Roofing LLC, with customers also describing siding work and repairs to roof decking and rafters. The Fitchburg company says it is family-owned, serves residential and commercial customers, and traces its story back more than 60 years to Norman "Red" Cochran. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. Google reports 4.8 stars from 266 ratings. A recent complaint concerns damage and follow-up. In an April 2026 Google review, a customer says a roof installed in December 2025 looked good and was reasonably priced, but the crew cracked house siding in several places and damaged a security light. The customer says replacement of the light and investigation of the siding were promised at the walkthrough, then repeated calls went unanswered through March 31. Another April reviewer praises timely, responsive service and Tyler's communication before moving forward. Earlier customers give specific accounts of roof work. A November 2025 reviewer describes replacing shingles on a home addition, including stripping the old roof, replacing rotted plywood, laying new underlayment and cleaning the yard, all in about eight hours. Another November reviewer describes slate-roof work completed in a couple of days, with rotted wood replaced and missing pieces patched. In a September 2025 review, a customer describes a replacement roof, new sheathing and ventilation, removal of the exterior portion of a chimney, and repairs to several rafters. They praise Dominic's answers during the estimate process and Yomar's communication during installation. There are also dated complaints about responsibility and completing work. November 2025 Google complaints allege that work was handed to other contractors and management deflected responsibility when problems arose. A November 2023 reviewer praises the work itself but says the company pressed for final payment and was slow to return to complete the job. In January 2026, a Worcester caller complains about poor telephone connections and says the company declined work outside its immediate area after they waited for a proposal; the caller also reports a $500 starting charge. Beyond roofing, an October 2025 customer describes a vinyl siding replacement completed in five days and a sales process without pressure. A July 2025 reviewer describes replacing a failing clay-tile roof with a raised-seam metal roof, followed later by replacement of three storm doors, and praises the care and follow-up on both jobs.
