Smith Roofing

Brian Smith has run this Beverly roofing and gutter operation for 27 years, according to its Thumbtack profile — a tenure that lines up with a small but consistent run of five-star reviews for roof patches, full roof-and-gutter replacements, and leaf-guard installs. Customers writing between 2023 and 2025 kept returning to the same theme: no upselling. In a 2023 review, one homeowner described Smith and his crew finding an efficient fix for a patch-up job that other companies tried to turn into a bigger, pricier project — they even rented a U-Haul truck to keep the job moving when their own broke down. A 2024 reviewer called the process, from a virtual quote through the finished gutter replacement, smooth, and said the crew cleaned up, remembered names, and fixed rotting trim they noticed along the way. Another 2023 review, for a full roof-and-gutter replacement, called the pricing very fair and Smith himself easy to work with. One thing worth asking about before booking: the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#146651, held by Brian Smith) is registry-verified expired. Thumbtack's own listing carries the same license number, a background-checked badge, and a related profile for Smith Gutter LLC run by the same principal at the same Beverly address — likely the same operation working under two names. A 2024 review also flagged a narrower gripe: Smith installs only one style of leaf guard, which wasn't the customer's preference. For a straightforward roof repair or gutter job on the North Shore, the reviews point to a responsive, no-drama small operation — just confirm the registration status directly before signing anything.
