# Smith Roofing **Trade:** Roofing · **Address:** 22 Winthrop Ave, Beverly, MA 01915, USA · **Phone:** (978) 473-0191 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.4/5** (medium confidence) — from 8 reviews across 5 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read 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. **Strengths:** - No upselling — customers praise straightforward pricing and honest scope - Roof & gutter craft — replacements, patch jobs, and leaf guards praised - 27-year Thumbtack tenure — consistent 4.9★ average across 48 ratings **Concerns:** - HIC registration — Massachusetts home improvement license registry-verified expired ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Reviewers across Google and Thumbtack repeatedly praise responsive, honest-scope roofing and gutter work with no upselling _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUR0enMtb1hnEAE!2m1!1s0x0:0x13e93ede562dc1!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIDtzs-oXg%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Smith roofing is so easy to work with!
