Roofing is the through-line. Of the 78 permitted projects filed under Roger A Harriman's name, most are roofs, and the pace has held steady — 8 in 2023, 8 in 2024, 6 in 2025. He works out of 80 Marshland St in Haverhill and pulls permits around Groveland, Newburyport and West Newbury. The jobs sit mostly in the mid range, with a typical permit value near $14,485, though they run from small work under $5,000 up to one gut remodel in the $100,000 to $250,000 band. His BuildZoom blurb describes a family-run business where you deal with the owner rather than a salesman, covering roofing, siding, windows and gutters — which lines up with what the permits show. On credentials, BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts construction supervisor specialty license, #CSSL-101096, carrying roofing and windows/siding endorsements, plus home improvement contractor registration #175392, and says it checked both as active in spring 2026. That is the directory's own check rather than a state confirmation, so it is worth verifying before you sign. BuildZoom also shows an older City of Newton residential builder license as inactive and at one point cancelled, and it scores him 105 — the top 8% of the 139,240 Massachusetts contractors it ranks. What is missing is customers. Nobody has reviewed him on BuildZoom, so for all the permit history there is no public account of how a job actually went: communication, cleanup, whether the schedule held. If you want a roofer with a documented, permitted history in the Merrimack Valley towns, he fits the profile. Ask for references from a few of last year's jobs, confirm those license numbers yourself with the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety and the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, and get the scope in writing.
